Enrollment  at  SMC  has  reached  an  all 
time  high  at  1 S03  students,  announced 
Dr.  Cyril  Futcher,  academic  dean,  at  the 
close  of  registration.  The  enrollment  is 
the  highest  that  it  has  ever  been.  The 
gain  in  students,  said  Dr.  Futcher,  was 
represented  mainly  in  the  nursing  and 
technical  programs.  Acceptances  were  up 
in  every  conference  in  the  Southern 
Union  except  the  Georgia-Cumberland 
conference. 

Introduced  for  the  first  time  this  year, 
the  two  year  programs  feature  college 
credit  for  work  in  the  industrial  field.  Un- 
like Andrews  University,  Walla  Walla,  and . 
Union,  courses  carry  transferrable  college 
credit. 

SMC  is  also  trying  a  new  concept,  dev- 
eloped last  year,  of  teaching  courses  that 
carry  college  credit  on  the  academy 
campuses.    Among  the  academies  are 
Forest  Lake,  Georgia-Cumberland, 
Madison,  and  possibly  Pisgah.  With  the 
eruollment  of  these  schools,  the  number 
of  SMC  students  stands  at  1560.  The 
purpose  of  these  extention  counes  is  to 
allow  high  school  students  to  get  college 
credit,  to  make  use  of  their  spare  time, 
and  to  provide  good  public  relations  for 
the  college,  since  most  students  who  take 
college  courses  go  on  to  attend  SMC.

library 


McKee  Library  has  become  the  recipient 
of  two  valuable  coUections  of  books. 
These  collections  are  only  a  part  of  a  gjft 
of  over  40,000  volumes  presented  to  the 
library  by  Dr.  Vernon  Thomas,  a  Seventh- 
day  Adventist  physician  living  in  Texas. 

The  John  W.  Fling  Jr.  collection  of 
books  on  Abraham  Lincoln  is  considered 
one  of  the  outstanding  private  collections 
of  this  type.  The  collection  contains  both 
books  and  other  Lincoln  memorabilia, 
such  as  portraits,  photographs  by  Brady, . 
and  a  check  bearing  the  signature  of 
President  Lincoln. 

The  Civil  War  collection  included  many 
documents  and  over  1400    hard-bound 
volumes  dealing  with  this  era  of  American 
history. 

According  to  Charles  Davis,  librarian, 
"This  only  happens  to  a  library  of  our 
size  once  in  a  lifetime." 

The  Lincoln  and  Civil  War  coUections 
will  be  housed  in  a  special  library.  The 
remaining  volumes  of  the  gift  will  be 
incorporated  into  the  general  library 
collection. 

Both  of  the  special  coUections  wiU  be 
ready  for  public  use  by  the  spring  of 
1974.  Much  work  remains  to  be  done  be- 
fore the  special  library  is  opened. 

The  Accent  wUl  report  more  details 
as  they  develop.

Accent  Objectives 

The  Southern  Accent  staff  has  carefiUly  analyzed  the 
objectives  and  goals  of  the  paper  for  this  academic  year, 
tlie  function  of  this  paper,  and  its  role  in  the  coUege  and 
community  have  been  given  thoughtfiil  consideration. 

As  we  see  things,  the  primary  objectives  of  the  Accent  is 
to  keep  its  readers  informed  about  what  is  happening  here  at 
Southern  Missionary  College.  If  we  faU  to  adequately 
disseminate  information  and  to  objectively  report  the  news, 
all  that  has  been  attempted  will  have  accompUshed  virtuaUy 
nothing. 

A  secondary  objective  of  this  paper  is  to  provide  mean- 
ingful commentary  on  some  of  the  issues  relevent  to  the 
college  and  the  commuiuty. 

Editorial  policy  will  not  be  arbitrarily  decided  upon  by 
any  one  member  of  the  staff.  An  editorial  board  will  meet 
weekly  to  vrei^  the  pros  and  cons  of  an  issue  before  we  take 
an  editorial  stand.  This  board  is  composed  of  flie  editor, 
ffisociate  editor,  news  editor,  copy  editor,  and  faculty 
advisor. 

We  do  not  feel  that  it  is  compulsory  for  the  Accent  to 
take  a  stand  on  eveiy  issue  diat  arises.  We  will  not  hesitate, 
however,  to  express  our  views  as  long  as  we  are  convinced 
diat  our  expressing  fliera  will  ultimately  construct  rather 
than  destroy. 

We  mvite  you,  die  readers,  to  voice  your  opinions  through 
this  medium.  Letters  to  the  editor  are  encouraged. 

We  realize  that  we  are  going  to  make  many  mistakes,  and 
perhaps  many  more  than  are  our  share.  But  our  errors 
diould  become  fewer  and  fewer  as  the  year  progresses. 

Mrs.  Ellen  White  states,  "It  is  God  alone  who  can  give 
success  either  ta  preparing  or  in  circulating  our  publications." 
(Counsels  to  Writers  and  Editors,  p.  14)  It  is  no  secret  that 
the  Accent  staff  is  dependent  upon  God  for  tiie  success  of 
this  newspaper. 

Beord  voted  down 

With  neariy  a  two  thnds  majority,  the  faculty  at  their 
recent  coDoquium  voted  down  the  Faculty  Senate  proposal 
that  beards  be  allowed  on  the  SMC  campus. 

The  proposal  sent  by  the  Senate  to  the  faculty  reads  that 
the  senators  "voted  that  beards  no  longer  be  prohibited  on 
campus  and  that  this  action  be  reviewed  by  the  faculty 
assembly  at  the  time  of  colloquium." 

The  minutes  also  record  that  the  meeting  was  delayed 
until  a  quarum  (19  senators)  was  reached. 

Listed  among  the  13  members  absent  were  two  students. 
Since  the  Student  Association  does  not  function  during  the 
summer,  and  since  the  students  serving  on  the  Senate  are  ap- 
pointed by  the  SA,  there  were  no  students  available  for  the 
July  15  Senate  meeting. 

The  beard  issue  will  inevitably  rise  again.  Study  needs 
to  be  continued  in  this  area,  and  when  the  issue  is  again  pre- 
sented, a  more  carefully  outiined  proposal  is  essential. 
This  proposal  would  conceivably  contain  certain  regulations 
and  controls,  and  more  time  should  be  spent  developing  the 
philosophy  and  rational  behind  the  issue. 

Arrangements  should  be  made  to  have  a  better  represen- 
tation of  the  senators  whenever  a  meeting  is  held. 

Students  ako  need  to  be  included  in  the  drawing  up  of 
such  plans.  The  Senate  should  be  structtued  so  as  to  include 
studoits  even  during  the  summer. 

Whether  the  faculty  were  ri^t  or  wrong  in  voting  down 
the  Senate  proposal  is  a  judgemental  question  to  be 
answered  individually.  But  may  we  suggest  that  when  the 
issue  of  beards  rises  again,  a  more  in-depth  study  be  given 
the  situation.

Faculty 
involve- 
ment 
with 
students 
urged 
at  retreat 


^ 


"Faculty  involvement  with  students" 
was  the  theme  of  the  recent  faculty 
colloquium-retreat.  The  August  24-26 
retreat  was  held  on  the  weekend  before 
registration. 

Elder  W.F.  Hackett,  administrative 
vice  president  of  the  General  Conference, 
was  the  keynote  speaker  for  the  weekend. 
He  addressed  the  faculty  Friday  night. 
Sabbath  for  church,  and  Sunday  morning. 

President  Frank  Knittel  spoke  to  the 
faculty  Friday  morning  on  the  subject  of 
becoming  involved  on  a  personal  basis  witi 
students-academicaily,  spiritually,  and 
socially. 

He  advised  each  teacher  to  set  up  a 
specific  time  each  day  to  be  available  in 
the  office  for  counselling.  Counselling, 
he  pointed  out,  should  be  emphasized 
immediately  after  grades  come  out. 

Dr.  Knittel  continued  by  urging  the 
faculty  to  attend  chapels,  college  Sabbath 
School,  church,  and  other  religious  activ- 
ities where  the  young  people  are.  "Of 
all  the  people  who  need  a  spiritual  rechargi 
once  a  semester,"  he  said  in  reference  to 
Weeks  of  Prayer,  "we  as  faculty  stand  at 
the  very  top." 

Becoming  socially  involved  with  stu- 
dents was  another  area  stressed  by  Dr. 
Knittel.  He  pointed  out  that  Mrs.  Ellen 
White  says  little  concerning  speaking  to 
students  about  dress,  grooming,  and 
other  related  issues.  She  says  much,  how- 
ever, about  being  with  the  students,  and 
becoming  involved  with  them. 

The  faculty  were  encouraged  to  min- 
gle more  in  student  social  groups  and 
become  personally  acquainted  with 
them.

Ray  Hefferlin,  professor  of  physics, 
coordinated  a  discussion  involving 
numerous  faculty  presentations  on  the 
various  ways  to  incorporate  Seventh-day 
Adventist  ethics  into  the  classroom. 
Individual  faculty  members  shared  their 
methods  of  bringing  Christianity  into 
the  subject  material  they  teach. 

Elder  Hackett,  in  his  Sabbath  morning 
sermon,  stated  that  denominational  schools 
have  drifted  away  from  God's  original 
plan.  He  expressed  optimism,  however, 
that  the  pendulum  seems  to  be  swinging 
back  to  God's  original  purpose. 

He  continued  by  saying,"If  SDA  col- 
leges and  schools  cease  to  fulfill  their 
distinctive  and  unique  role  in  the  worid, 
they  will  cease  to  exist.  "Our  institu- 
tions, our  campuses,"  he  said  "need  to  be 
different.  When  people  walk  on  them,  they 
need  to  know  that  there  is  something  dif- 
ferent about  Seventh-day  Adventists." 

Then  speaking  specifically  of  SMC, 
Elder  Hackett  said  that  Collegedale  has 
stood  out  in  the  denomination  because 
of  its  strict  adherence  to  conservative 
standards.  "You  have  been  a  student 
of  the  'old  school',"  he  observed.  "That 
has  been  one  of  your  greatest  successes.  . . 
I  appeal  to  you  at  Southern  Missionary 
College  to  not  let  down  your  standards." 

Sunday  morning  the  faculty  discussed 
the  Faculty  Senate  proposal  to  allow  beards 
on  the  campus.  In  a  secret  vote,  61 
faculty  voted  to  prohibit  beards.  41 
voted  to  allow  them. 

The  colloquium  was  held  at  Camp 
Kiwanic  as  Hidden  Valley,  just  east  of 
Apison.

Student  Center 
to  open  Sunday

The  new  Student  Center  will  be  open 
for  use  this  Sunday,  September  9. 

"It  will  not  be  completed  but  will  be 
functional  and  open  for  student  use," 
said  Marji  Costerisan,  interior  designer  of 
the  center. 

The  new  center  will  house  all  of  the 
student  activities  offices.  Pastor  Cununings 
office,  a  prayer  chapel,  snack  bar,  game 
i-oom,  formal  and  informal  lounges,  TV 
room  and  two  conference  rooms. 
Costerisan  has  been  awarded  an  assistant- 
ship  to  the  University  of  Tennessee  at 
Knoxville  based  on  her  work  at  the 
Student  Center. 

The  center  has  something  for  everyone 
■'We  designed  the  center  to  fill  the  needs 
of  the  students,  to  fit  their  personality 
and  to  encourage  creativity,"  says  Miss 
Costersian. 

Vivid,  warm  colors  are  throughout  the 


building.  Potted  foUge  and  blooming 
flowers  wai  also  add  to  the  atmosphere. 
The  snack  bar  will  have  a  supply  of 
sandwiches,  fruit,  and  drinks  as  well  as  an 
assortment  of  snacks. 

The  TV  room  will  also  have  on  display 
various  trophies  and  awards  won  by  the 
students  and  organizations  on  campus. 
To  begin  with  there  will  not  be  any 
wall  hanging  or  paintings  in  the  center. 
"The  plan  is  to  use  the  better  of  the 
paintings,  crafts  and  sculptures  done  by 
students,"  reports  Miss  Costerisan. 

The  entire  center  was  designed  by 
Miss  Marji  Costerisan  and  Mrs.  Bettie 
Griffm,  both  senior  interior  design  stu- 
dents last  year,  under  the  direction  of 
Miss  Ellen  Zollinger,  instructor  of  Home 
Economics. 

Mrs.  Griffin  is  now  at  Oak  Park 
Academy,  Oak  Park,  Iowa.

4-year 

nursing: 

'biggest 

and 

fastest 

growing 

dept/ 


Sept.  5,  1973  The  Southern  Accent 


The  B.S.  Nursing  department  is  experi- 
encing several  changes  this  year  along  with 
rapid  growth. 

The  B.S.  Nursing  department  is  exper- 
iencing several  changes  this  year  along 
with  rapid  growth. 

Mrs.  Doris  Payne  has  recently  been 
appointed  chairman  of  the  department. 
Mrs.  Payne  served  as  Associate  Chair- 
inan  since  her  arrival  to  this  campus  in 
1968,  reports  Dr.  Cyril  Futcher,  academic 
dean.  She  heads  a  team  of  twenty  in- 
structors oh  two  campuses;  ten  in  College- 
dale  and  ten  in  Orlando. 

"B.S.  Nursing  is  not  only  the  largest 
but  the  fastest  growing  program  on  cam- 
pus," says  Dr.  Arno  Kutzner,  Registrar. 
"There  are  215  students  enrolled  in  the 
four  year  program." 

Mrs.  Payne  reports  there  is  an  addition 
to  the  curriculum  this  year.  The  hew 
course  is  called  Physical  Assesment. 
In  recent  years  the  demand  for  doctors 
far  outnumbers  the  doctors  available, 
so  nurses  have  stepped  in  to  fill  the  void. 
This  course  will  prepare  the  nurse  to  give 
thorough  and  complete  physical  exam- 
inations, treat  chronically  ill  patients, 
diagnose  problems  and  recommend  fur- 
ther care  and  treatment  from  a  doctor. 

Student  nurses  will  receive  much  of 
their  practical  training  while  working  with 
several  of  the  out-patient  clinics  in  this 
area. 

Mrs.  Payne  said  she  does  not  feel  the 
new.nursing  program  beginning  at  UTC 
will  affect  the  nursing  program  at  SMC. 
The  only  problem  will  come  when  UTC 
begins  their  hospital  lab  training  one 
year  from  now.  "This  will  mean  we  will 
have  to  spread  our  labs  throughout  the 
day  rather  than  having  just  morning  labs," 
said  Mrs.  Payne.  The  student  nurse  now 
receives  hospital  training  at  Florida 
Hospital  and  Memorial  Hospital  along 
with  emergency  room  training  at  Erianger. 

B.S.  Nursing  is  housed  in  three  mob&e 
homes  located  between  McKee  Library  and 
Hackmen  Hall.  The  new  nursing  building 
is  still  in  the  planning  stages.  The  plans 
have  been  sent  back  to  the  architect  for 
revisions.  The  original  plans  exceeded  the 
budget  by  about  $100,000.00  reports 
President  Frank  Knittel,  and  the  plans 
must  stay  within  a  $275,000.00  level. 
There  is  $160,000.00  in  the  building  fund 
now  and  a  probable  $50,000.00  can  be 
obtained  through  special  nursing  grants. 
The  remaining  funds  wUl  be  soUcited 
of  Chattanooga  businesses  and  friends  of 
the  college. 

The  new  building  will  be  situated  be- 
tween McKee  Library  and  the  Tab.  No 
date  has  been  set  for  ground  breaking 
ceremonies. 


Campbell 
heads 

chemistry 
dept. 


Dr.  Melvin  Campbell  is  the  new 
chairman  of  SMC's  department  of  chem- 
istry. He  replaces  Dr.  John  Christensen 
who  had  been  the  chairman  for  the 
past  18  years.  Dr.  Christensen  will  re- 
main on  the  chemistry  staff  as  a  full 
time  professor. 

Campbell  is  not  new  to  the  campus. 
He  has  taught  in  the  department  for  the 
past  five  years.  During  this  time  he  has 
written  and  used  programmed  instruction 
extensively  in  his  classes.  He  innovated 
the  open  laboratory  concept  in  Survey 
of  Chemistry. 

When  asked  what  changes  prospective 
chemistry  stduents  could  expect  he  was 
quick  to  praise  Dr.  Christensen  for  a 
well  ordered  department.  He  stated  that 
many  of  the  changes  were  outgrowths 
of  Dr.  Christensen's  ideas. 

Campbell  did  mention  increased  use 
of  the  computer  and  electronic  cal- 
culator in  the  department.  He  would 
like  to  see  an  introduction  to  bio- 
chemistry in  the  general  chemistry 
class.  He  stated  that  already  Dr.  Thiel 
is  restructuring  the  nursing  chemistry 

Campbell  seemed  most  excited  about 
some  possible  new  course  for  the  general 
education  students.  He  suggested  such 
course  names  as  Chemistry  and  Art, 
Chemistry  and  P.  E.  and  even  Chemistry 
and  Industrial  Arts.  He  showed  a  big 
concern  for  the  general  education  re- 
quirement and  how  the  chemistry 
department  could  structure  more  mean- 
ingful courses. 


Student  appreciation 
'the  main  thing' 
in  new  cafeteria 


SMC's  cafeteria  services,  under  the 
direction  of  Mr.  Ron  Grange,  began  serv- 
ing the  student  populace  from  its  newly 
acquired  facilities  beneath  the  new  stud- 
ent center  last  April.  Before,  the  cafe- 
teria was  set  up  in  the  old  tabernacle  in 
sort  of  a  make-shift  operation  and 
affectionately  called  the  "tabeteria  by  the 
students  who  had  to  frequent  the  facility. 
Paper  plates  and  plasticware  were  used  as 
eating  utensils. 

Now,  the  new  cafeteria  has  the  latest 
in  cooking  devices,  has  taken  on  several 
new  cooks,  offers  two  entrees  at  every 
dinner,  has  a  serving  area  known  as  a 
"scramble  system",  which  according  to 
Mr.  Grange  is  "much  more  efficient  and 
faster",  and  has  suppUed  silverware  and 
plastic  plates  as  mealtime  utensils. 

In  regard  to  the  new  "scramble 
system",  Mr.  Grange  wants  students  to 
understand  that  there  are  three  hot  food 
serving  decks  and  that  students  should 
form  three  seperate  lines  to  the  individual 
serving  decks  not  a  long  single  line.  In 
order  to  increase  the  speed  at  which  every- 
one is  served  Mr.  Grange  wishes  that  every- 
one would  speak  distinctly  and  loud 
enough  for  the  servers  to  hear  the  orders 
for  the  various  food  items.  Having  I.D. 
cards  readily  available  for  insertion  into 


the  badge  readers,  also  helps  to  speed  up 
the  process. 

The  Campus  Kitchen  is  now  under  the 
direct  supervision  of  Mr.  Grange  and  food 
expense.  The  C.K.  is  still  basically  a  short 
order  restaurant,  however,  new  items  such 
as  pizza,  Sam's  chicken  and  fish  n'  chips 
have  taken  a  place  on  the  permanent  menu. 
Mr.  Grange  mentioned  that  business  at  the 
C.K.  this  past  summer  was  twice  as  much 
compared  to  the  previous  summer. 

Mr.  Grange  expressed  a  sense  of  de- 
light when  speaking  of  the  facilities  in 
which  the  cafeteria  operated.  One  item 
in  particular  has  proven  quite  helpful  in 
fast  efficient  service,  its  a  special  type  of 
vegetable  pressure  cooker  that  can  pre- 
pare fresh  vegetables  in  a  matter  of  min- 
utes. This  item  also  keeps  to  a  min- 
imum the  amount  of  leftovers. 

"I  have  a  great  deal  of  confidence 
in  my  cooks  and  staff,"  stated  Grange, 
"and  I  feel  that  we  have  one  of  the  pret- 
tiest dining  areas  in  this  area.  Salemen  are 
constantly  teUing  me  how  beautiful  our 
kitchen  and  dining  really  is,  I  just  hope  the 
students  appreciate  them  too,  that's  the 
main  thing." 

Grange  hopes  to  throw  a  small  party 
every  month  for  those  who  had  birthdays 
in  that  month.  It's  just  a  small  way  of  say- 
ing we're  glad  you're  here,"  said  Grange.

I  therefore  offering  a  vane  y  of  sport- 
fng  events  for  this  year    A  Oiorou^ 
program  has  been  developed  that  will 
rive  each  individual-boy,  girl,  or 
faculty-the  opportunity  of  parUc.pate. 

SoftbaU  is  now  underway.  The  tast-^

Exhibition  games  have  been  staged 
and  the  regular  season  is  "nd"way. 

Hawauan  football  will  follow  the  soft- 
ball  season.  This  fast  -  moving  version  ol 
flag  football  is  being  introduced  on  the 
campus  for  the  first  time  this  fall. 

Hawaiian  football  differs  from  llag 
football  in  that  the  ball  must  be  passed 
into  the  end  zone  rather  than  being 
carried  into  it.  Three  passes  are  allowed 
per  down.  There  will,  however,  still  be 
six  men  per  team. 

Second  semester  basketball  and  soccer 
will  be  offered.  During  the  basketball 
season  a  one-on-one  single  ehmination 
tournament  wiU  be  held.  Other  schedul- 
ed events  include  tournaments  in  golt , 
tennis,  and  handball,  a  road  rally,  and  a 
decathelon.  . 

The  RoDing  Hills  Country  Club  will 
be  the  site  of  the  golf  tournament.  In-

"on  October  14,  one  of  the  larpst 
track  runs  in  this  part  of  the  country  wiU 
be  held  on  SMC's  six  mile  cross-country 
course.  The  various  divisions  will  include 
the  open  division  with  an  accompanying 
six  mae  jaunt,  a  high  school  division  with 
a  two-mile  race,  and  a  one  mile  run  tor 
the  beginner. 

A  number  of  AjV.U.  runners  will  be 
participating  from  various  schools,  and 
the  event  will  have  full  coverage  from  the 
Chattanooga  News-Free  Press. 

Studenti  are  encouraged  to  start  pre- 
paring now  for  this  meet  in  order  for  SMI, 
to  be  represented  in  each  of  these  div- 

""a^tter  organized  sporU  for  the  women 
are  being  emphasized.  The  recreation 
committee  is  giving  careful  attention  to 
this  area.  The  success  of  this  program  de- 
pends, however,  upon  the  amount  ot 
interest  shown  by  the  girls. 

Everyone  is  encouraged  to  participate 
in  the  intramurals  and  other  sports  events 
during  this  athletic  year.  The  most  rni- 
portant  goal  for  this  year's  recreation^ 
program  is  to  strengthen  the  minds  and 
boiUes  of  the  students  and  ficulty  as  they 
participate  in  good  Christian  fun.

Student 

Center 

opens 

Sunday  evening  Southern  Missionary 
College's  new  Student  Center  was  un- 
officially opened.  Notices  were  posted  , 
,ind  the  student  body  went  in  mass  to  see 
what  their  long  awaited  center  was  like. 

The  reaction  was  largely  favorable. 
One  of  the  main  reasons  the  students  liked 
he  center  is  because  it  is  different,  some- 
hing  out  of  the  ordinary.  It  is  relaxing 
ind  informal,  but  at  the  same  time  it  has 
:lassand  beauty. 

There  were  a  few  unfavorable  comments 
One  girl  said  that  she  didn't  like  it  because 
t  looked  like  an  airplance  terminal.  Ano- 
:her  said  she  liked  the  cubical  foam  chairs 
ji  the  senate  room,  but  was  afraid  the 
senators  would  be  so  relaxed  and  com- 
fortable that  they  wouldn't  get  any- 
thing accomplished. 

Other  comments  ranged  from  "I 
love  the  flowers,"  and  "where  is  this 
all  going  to  end?"  to  a  major  complaint 
■'There  aren't  any  mirrors  in  the  girl's 
restroom." 

Though  functional,  the  new  facility 
till  has  many  finishing  touches  that 
need  to  be  completed.  The  TV  room  is 
lacking  a  tube,  the  snack  shop  doesn't 
liave  any  food  ,  and  the  game  room  isn't 
supplied  with  games. 

The  date  set  for  the  grand  opening  is 
Oct.  1.  Both  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and 
the  Committee  of  One  Hundred  will  be 
present  for  the  event,  which  will  be  held 
from  2:00  to  5:00  p.m. 

According  to  Mr.  Kenneth  Speais, 
dean  of  students,  regular  hours  for  the 
Student  Center  are:

Students 

continue 
coming; 

100  more 

than 

expected 


A  record  1 525  students  are  currently 
enrolled  at  Southern  Missionary  College, 
with  42  of  these  on  the  Orlando  campus, 
a  record  enrollment  for  that  campus  also. 

According  to  Dr.  Arno  Kutzner,  director 
of  Admissions  and  Records,  many  records 
were  set  with  this  year's  enroUment. 
Currently  enrolled  is  the  largest  freshman 
class  ever,  530  students.  There  are  355 
sophomores,  267  juniors  and  a  record 
graduating  class  of  280  four-year  seniors, 
along  with  1 14  Associate  of  Science  degree 
seniors. 

Nursing  continues  to  have  the  largest 
enrollment  as  far  as  majors  go,  with  409 
claiming  nursing  as  their  final  objective, 
with  an  almost  even  split  between  the  2 
year  and  4  year  curricula.  Then  there  are 
163  Religion  majors,  125  of  which  are  plan- 
ning to  become  ministers.  The  fastest  grow- 
ng  major  field  is  in  the  newly  initiated 
building  technology  curriculum. 

Of  the  1525  students  currently  en- 
olled,  641  or  about  42%,  are  new  stu- 
dents. Many  colleges'  enrollments  are 
dropping,  but  SMC's  has  increased. 
According  to  Dr.  Kutzner,  there  are  many 
easons  for  this  increase.  One  is  the  in- 
titution  of  the  building  technology  courses. 
Enrollment  in  Religion  majors  is  also  up. 

Due  to  various  summer  youth  evangelism 
ictivities,  many  college  students  came  to 
aiow  of  Seventh-Day  Adventists  and  of 
iouthern  Missionary  College.  This  was 
1  contributing  factor  to  the  enrollment 
ncreas5.  "We  have  a  growing  church," 
.aid  Dr.  Kutzner,  "and  if  our  college 
loesn't  grow  with  it,  we'd  better  find  out 
vhy." 


Steve  Salsberry,  of  San  Diego,  Calif.,  was  the  fifteen  hundredth  student  to  register  at  SMC,  maik- 
ing  the  highest  enrollment  in  the  hi.story  of  the  college.  Congratulating  him  are  (1-r):   Dr.  Arno 
Kutzner,  director  of  admissions  and  records;  and  President  Frank  Knittel 


'A  Man 

Called  Peter' 
slated  for 
S.A. 
benefit  film 


"A  Man  Called  Peter,"  the  life  story 
ijf  Peter  Marshall,  will  be  shown  at  8:30 
3. m.,  Saturday  evening  Sept.  15.  The 
.:ost  of  the  SA  sponsored  film  will  be  50 
;ents  to  students  and  one  dollar  for  non- 
;tudents.  Tickets  may  be  obtained  at  the 
ioor  of  the  gym  or  advance  tickets  from 
:he  new  SA  offices  in  the  Student  Center. 

Peter  Marshall  was  a  chaplain  in  the 
U.  S.  Senate.  The  film  tells  of  his  Ufe  as 
a  student  and  young  husband,  the  tragedy 
of  losing  a  child,  and  his  growth  as  chaplain 
before  his  sudden  death. 

According  to  Leclare  Litchfield,  SA 
president,  no  specific  plans  are  made  at 
this  time  for  tne  tunas  trom  the.rilm.

Why  1525? 

Ae  bScon  ofZher  education.  Perhaps,  the  panddoquent 
plm?or  hi^erftudent  enrollment  by  various  faculty  mem- 
Shroulout  the  Southern  Union  played  an  important 

"' Four  reasons  for  coming  come  to  -"i-d  imme^ately^ 

The  fust  beins  the  rural  setting  upon  which  SMC  has  been 
nlaml  Many^udents  are  really  anxious  to  eave  theu:  urban 
habUais  and  become  part  of  SMC:s  bountiful  greeneo-  and 
richne^  SMC's  rolling  lawns  give  a  person  a  sense  of  easines^ 
andfelaxation.  In  addition,  the  people  who  leside  here  perm- 
anently are  easy-going  and  rather  pleasant, 

Secoi^dly,  the  buadings  students  patronize  everyday  are 
styfed  mSt';tt,.ctively  in  a  modernistic  style.  The  physjce^ 
plant  of  the  campus  as  seen  from  a  birds-eye  view  B  laid  out 
bi  a  symmetrical  Southern  Plantation  style        ..  ^.   ' 
Thirdly,  an  item  in  which  most  parents  delight,  is  that 
SMC's  standards  are  conservative,  more  so  than  any  other 
S  D  A  coUege  institutions.  Grooming  and  dress  codes  are 
stringent  but,  when  compared  to  the  immediate  surroundmg 
area,  SMC's  standards  are  merely  conformative. 

Finally,  students  are  drawn  to  SMC  because  of  Its 
religious  sincerety.  SMC  students  need  not  feel  odd  when 
expressing  their  beUef  in  Jesus  Christ  in  the  classroom  dorm 
room,  or  iafeteria.  Christ  is  a  way  of  life  and  people  looked 
upon  with  sympathy  if  they  have  not  accepted  Christ  as 
their  Savior.  ,      ,u  j    * 

There  are  probably  many  other  reasons  as  to  why  students 
chose  SMC,  but  whatever  the  reason,  we  hope  you  enjoy 
your  stay. 


1525  too  many? 

When  does  a  coUege  become  too  large?  When  enrollment 
reachel  500,1000,1500,2000?  Perhaps  never!  SMC  is  in 
danger  of  becoming  too  big.  It  is  possible  that  in  the  lace 
of  1  SCO  plus  students  that  we  forget  the  one  thousand 
five  hundred  individuals  who  make  up  this  large  number. 

There  are  two  groups  who  can  make  SMC  a  "small" 
college  no  matter  what  the  enrollment  happens  to  be- 
staff  and  students.  Friendliness  and  helpfulness  in  the 
classrooms,  church,  offices,  dorms,  on  the  play  fields, 
on  the  walks  must  be  practiced  by  both.  Specifically 
this  means  smiles,  hello's ,  offices  hours,  willingness 
to  listen,  fairness  m  the  gradmg,  overiooking  the 
objectional  traits  in  each  other-in  short  the  extra  mile 
of  Chrisitan  courtesy.  There  is  no  reason  that  SMC 
should  not  always  be  a  "small"  college.

College  classes 

taught  on 

academy 

campuses 


SMC  is  presently  offering  college- 
level  classes  on  two  academy  campuses, 
Madison  Academy  and  Forest  Lake 
Academy.   The  courses  taught  are 
acceptable  at  any  accredited  college. 

liiis  program  came  into  being  when  it 
was  noticed  that  many  academy  seniors 
were  taking  only  two  or  three  classes  to 
finish  their  high  school  requirements.  By 
adding  a  coUege  class  it  was  felt  the 
students  would  make  better  use  of  theii 
time.  SMC  benefits  because  many  students 
attend  the  same  coUege  that  gave  them 
their  credits. 

At  Madison  Academy,  English  Comp. 
is  taught  by  Marilee  Easter  Cothren.  Stu- 

I  dents  from  Highland  Academy  join  with 
Madison  for  the  class  once  a  week.  Enroll- 
ment is  expected  to  reach  20-24. 


Dear  Staff: 

I  really  enjoyed  the  fust  issue  of  the 
Southern  Accent.  It  really  caught  my 
eye. 

The  lay-out  was  superb  and  the 
quality  of  the  news  was  excellent. 

Keep  up  the  good  work  in  the 
next  29  issues.

Filing 

date 

set  for 
senate 
elections 

Every  year,  students  elect  their  own 
colleagues  to  represent  them  through  a 
student  structured  and  run  Senate.  This 
is  within  'Jie  tradition  of  a  repubhcan 
government  in  which  the  populous  is 
represented  by  those  of  their  choice,  in  an 
open  and  free  election.  The  purpose  of 
the  Senate  is  vaguely  defined  in  the  Consti 
tution  of  the  Student  Assxiation  to 
".  .  .  establish  and  revise  laws  governing 
the  working  policies  of  the  Student  Associ 
ation.  .  .  .    ratify  appointments  of  the 
president  .  .  .  approve  the  annual  budget 
.  .  .  originate  any  action  .  .  ."  etc. 

Moose  Smith,  vice  president  of  the 
SA  and  chairman  of  the  Student  Senate, 
was  asked  what  he  thought  the  purpose  of 
the  Senate  was  from  his  point  of  view. 
"1  was  a  senator  last  year,"  he  replied, 
"and  so  I  know  what  we  did.  I  have  a 
few  different  ideas  for  this  year  as  far  as 
the  conduct  and  procedinc  of  the  Senate 
is  concerned.  1  guess  it  wnuld  be  more 
honest  to  say  1  have  many  different  ideas, 
but  my  personal  concept  of  a  student  run 
senate  hasn't  changed. 

"1  think  it  should  be  a  liaison  between 
the  faculty  and  the  individual  student;  it 
should  give  each  student  on  this  campus 
a  voice  in  how  his  activities,  academic, 
social  or  otherwise,  are  coordinated  while 
he  is  here;  and  each  Senator  should  be 
answerable  to  his  constituents  and  most 
of  all  represent  their  sentiments  to  the 
entire  Senate.  1  think  this  is  where  we 
have  failed  in  the  past.  The  only  ones^^ 
heard  were  the  eloquent  or  just  vocal," 
Smith  said. 


Any  student  who  has  been  enrolled 
on  a  college  campus  for  nine  weeks  with 
a  cumulative  GPA  of  2.25  or  a  current 
GPA  of  2.50  is  elegible  to  run  for  Senator. 
Petitions  for  those  interested  will  be  avail- 
able beginning  Sept.  17.  These  petitions 
must  be  signed  by  20%  of  those  in  the 
precinct  for  which  the  candidate  wishes 
to  represent.  The  geographical  precincts 
are  as  follows: 

1 -Thatcher  100-144 
2-Thatcher   153-198 
3-Thatcher  200-245 
4-Thatcher  253-298 
5-Thatcher  300-348 
6-Thatcher  350-398 
7-Jones 
8-Orlando 
9-Talgehall    23^(9 
■lO-Talge  hall    K)5-Lobby 
ll-Talgehall    141-182 
12-Talgehall    201-236 
13-Talgehall    238-284 
14-Talgehall    302-336 
I5-Talgehall    338-384 
If  a  student  wanted  to  represent  one  of 
the  geographical  precincts  from  the  dorm, 
he  would  pick  up  a  petition  at  the  desk  in 
:he  dorm,  attain  signatures  from  20%  of 
the  students  in  that  precinct  which  he 
wished  to  represent  and  return  the  peition 
to  Moose  or  the  SA  office  by  noon 
Sept.  21 .  A  Student  need  not  be  a  resi- 
dent of  the  precinct  he  wishes  to  represent. 

There  are  five  senatorial  seats  for 
village  students.  To  be  elegible  a  student 
must  reside  in  the  village  and  present  in 
...ting  his  desire  to  be  a  candidate.  This 
can  be  done  by  obtaining  a  petition  from 
one  of  the  dorms  or  the  SA  office  and 
returning  it  by  Sept.  21. 

Voting  will  be  Sept.  25  and  26  in 
Lynn  Wood  Hall.  The  polls  will  also 
open  the  night  of  the  25th  in  Talge  and 
Thatcher  Halls. 

The  first  Senate  meeting  is  now 
;cheduled  for  Monday  night,  Oct.  1. 
Thereafter  the  meetings  will  be  held  twice 

month  on  Monday  nights  at  7:30.  The 
Senate  meetings  usually  last  until  9:00, 
but  in  Mooses  wordsii  "  .  .  .  if  a  senator 
is  doing  Ills  job  it  will  take  more  time  than 

hour  and  a  half  every  two  weeks."

Q 


Dr.  Sines  opens 
denistry  practice 

inCollegedale 


Dr.  John  Sines  has  arrived  with  his 
'"amily  to  begin  a  dentistry  practice  in 
Collegedale,  bringing  with  him  nine  years 
of  experience  in  many  parts  of  the  world. 
Missionaries  are  most  often  heard  about 
__  the  Sabbath  School  missionary  report. 
We  hear  of  missionary  doctors,  nurses, 
md  pastors,  but  it's  not  too  often  that  we 
hear  of  a  missionary  dentist. 

Dr.  Sines  is  just  that.  He  is  a  graduate 
of  Columbia  Union  College,  Washington, 
D.  C.  In  1 964  he  graduated  from  Howard 
University  as  a  Doctor  of  Dentistry. 
For  three  years  he  had  a  private  practice 
in  Maryland  and  was  doing  very  well  when 
a  caJ  came  through  for  him  from  the  Mid- 
dle Eastern  Division  to  go  and  help  in  Ben 
Ghazi,  Lybia.  A  hospital  dentist  was 
badly  needed  in  the  Seventh-day  Adven- 
tist  hospital  there.  Realizing  the  great 
need  in  that  country,  Dr.  Sines  and  his 
family  left  the  U.S.A.  to  serve  in  Lybia. 
The  need  for  medical  attention  was 
unending,  and  although  the  work  was 
hard  and  tiring,  it  was  also  rewarding. 
On  Dec.  17, 1969,  however.  Colonel 
Kadafi  took  over  the  country  and  the 
Seventh-day  Adventist  hospital  was 
nationalized.  Dr.  Sines  and  his  family 
sadly  left  Lybia  and  responded  to  a  call 
for  help  in  Cyprus. 

In  1970  Dr.  Sines  was  transferred  to 
Tanzania,  East  Africa,  where  he  was  made 
head  of  the  oral  medicine  department  at 


Sines  replied  that  wherever  he  had  gone  m 
the  mission  field,  he  had  always  heard 
good  reports  of  Southern  Missionary 
College  along  with  the  academy  and  elem- 
lary  school.  Since  two  of  his  children,  John 
and  Valarie,  are  in  academy  and  will  soon 
be  entering  college  and  his  two  younger 
daughters  are  in  elementary  school,  he 
willingly  accepted  the  call  to  come  to 
Collegedale.  More  important,  though, 
was  the  need  of  a  dentist  in  the  area. 

Dr.  Sines  will  not  only  serve  the  College- 
dale  area  but  also  the  students  of  SMC-  His 
office  will  be  located  across  from  the 
church,  opposite  Pierson  Drive,  beginning 

Oct.  1 

Here  are  a  few  words  of  encouragement 
from  Dr.  Sines  for  the  pre-dental  students 
here  at  college; 

"Dentistry  is  a  great  profession.  It  is 
challenging  but  also  very  rewarding.  There 
is  a  great  need  for  dentists  in  the  mission 
field.  At  the  present  time  only  30  dentists 
are  serving  abroad  and  a  great  many  more 
are  needed.  The  Middle  Eastern  Division 
alone  is  calling  for  four  dentists. 

"The  American  Dentistry  Association  is 
encouraging  more  men  and  women  to  take 
up  this  profession  and  the  government  is 
offering  grants  and  encouraging  more 
ichools  to  offer  training.  The  hours  of 
work  are  good  and  working  conditions  are 
xcellent." 
We  are  happy  and  privileged  to  have 


the  beautiful  Kilimanjaro  Christian  Medical  [Dr.  Sines  and  his  family  in  Collegedale, 

Center  situated  on  the  slopes  of  Mt.  Kili- 
manjaro. The  multi-million  dollar  hospital 

is  run  by  several  Chrisitan  denominations 

as  a  research  center  and  training  school  for 

the  African  young  men  in  the  district  and 

sunounding  countries.  It  was  here  that 

Dr.  Sines  flew  with  the  first  flying  doctor 

service  to  be  started  in  East  Africa. 

I      In  June  of  1 973  a  call  came  through  to 

him  from  the  Far  Eastern  Division  to 
espond  to  the  desperate  need  for  a  relief 

dentist  in  Saigon.  The  hospital  in  that 
military  hospital  which  was 
left  vacant  when  the  Arnerican  military 
left  the  country.  The  government  asked 
the  Seventh-day  Adven.ists  to  take  over 
the  management  of  the  hospital,  present- 
ing a  great  opportunity  for  further 
witnessing  and  spreading  of  the  love  of 
Jesus.  A  dentist  was  needed  on  the  staff, 
and  Dr.  Sines  agreed  to  come  and  help  out 
for  the  summer  until  the  permanent  den- 
tist from  the  United  States  could  reach 


Last  month  Dr.  Sines,  his  wife,  and 
children  arrived  in  Collegedale.  When 
asked  why  he  chose  to  come  here,  Dr.

Six 

SMC 

coeds 
witness 
at 
beauty 

pageant 


Everyone  was  all  atwitter! 

Six  coeds  from  Thatcher  had  been 
chosen  by  the  young  men  of  Talge  to  be 
representatives  to  the  beauty-personahty 
contest  for  the  ultimate  queen  of  the 
Peach  Bowl  football  game  at  Atlanta 
on  New  Year's  Day! 

They  had  been  assured  that  there  were 
no  Sabbath  appointments,  no  swim-suit 
contests,  and  of  course.  New  Year's  Day  fell 
fell  on  Tuesday.  And  there  was  a  $500 
scholarship  for  the  winner! 

So  the  young  ladies  departed  for 
Chicamauga,  Ga.,  for  the  first  elimination 
contest,  where  representatives  from  the 
lions  Oubs,  who  were  sponsoring  the  events 
for  the  blind  of  the  area,  met  them  and 
the  other  participants. 

As  the  plan  unfolded,  the  young  ladies 
learned  that  the  final  elimination  contest 
was  at  a  Sabbath  noon  luncheon  rather    . 
than  a  Sabbath  night  banquet  at  the 
Marriott  Motel  in  Atlanta. 

One  by  one,  the  young  coeds 
testified  to  their  beliefs  in  the  Sabbath 
and  how  they  could  not  participate  on 
Sabbath.  The  judges  were  disappointed 
and  tried  to  presuade  the  SMC  students 
with  such  arguments  as,  "You  have  to  eat 
somewhere  on  Saturday;  it  might  as  well 
be  at  the  Marriott."  But  the  coeds 
could  not  be  moved. 

Disappointed?  Not  really!  There  was 
satisfaction  over  firm  resolve  and  witn«- 
sing  over  the  beauty  pageant  that  wasn't 
for  them! 

TTie  coeds  who  were  chosen  are  as 
follows:  Janice  Marinkovic,  Golleen  Bock, 
Cindy  Parker,  Pam  Erskine,  Cindy  McCants, 
and  Betty  BeauUeu. 


Visa 

denied 

incoming 

chemistry 

teacher 


Because  of  difficulties  in  obtaining  a 
visa.  Dr.  Winston  Craig  of  Australia  will 
not  be  teaching  in  the  chemistry  depart- 
ment. 

Application  was  made  for  a  visa  to  the 
U.  S.  Immigration  authorities  in  Atlanta. 
The  application  was  denied.  SMC  carried 
the  request  to  the  embassy  in  Washington 
D.  C.  Once  again  the  request  was  denied. 

Senator  Howard  Baker,  R.~Tenn.,  was 
then  asked  to  authorize  the  visa.  He  also 
refused,  saying  that  the  United  States 
currently  has  a  surplus  of  jobless  scientists 
in  this  field. 

According  to  Dr.  Melvin  Campbell, 
professor  of  chemistry,  SMC  has  given  up 
trying  to  get  Dr.  Craig  as  a  teacher.  The 
search  for  another  chemistry  teacher  is 
continuing,  although  no  definite  plans 
have  been  made. 

Dr.  Craig  received  his  doctorate  in  organ- 
ic chemistry  in  Australia.  Since  then,  he 
has  {pent  one  and  half  years  studying  at 
Cornell  University  and  the  University  of 
Oklahoma. 

The  vacancy  in  the  chemistry  depart- 
ment was  created  when  Dr.  John  Christen- 
sen,  professor  of  chemistry,  announced  his 
retirement  last  spring.  Dr.  Christensen  has 
continued  teaching  until  another  teacher 
can  be  found.

Saturday  night  the  annual  faculty 
home  parties  will  be  held,  beginning 
around  8:30  p.m. 

Students  may  receive  a  written 
invitation  or  be  invited  in  person  by  the 
host.   In  some  cases  a  whole  class  may 
be  asked  by  the  teacher  or  arrange- 
ments may  be  made  for  a  certain  group 
to  visit  a  home.   Since  all  1500 
of  the  students  cannot  be  invited, 
activities  are  also  being  planned  in  the 
gymnasium. 

The  parties  provide  an  opportunity 
for  the  students  to  visit  the  faculty  in 
their  homes  and  become  better  acquaint- 
ed.   Food  and  entertainment  will  be 
available,  along  with  relaxation  and  an 
enjoyable  time.    Any  questions  con- 
cerning the  parties  may  be  directed  to 
Dr.  Edgar  Grundset  of  the  Programs 
Subcommittee.

Slacks  in  Center? 

Precisely  what  function  does  the  Student  Center  provide? 
PriS  it  is  a  place  for  students  to  relax  and  socalBe 
Wween  d asses  o'r  after  a  hard  day's  work  and  study  ,  The 
new  Center  was  designed  for  such  purposes  of  relaxa  .on- 
watching  TV,  playing  table  (carpet)  games,  playing  p.ng- 
nong  and  performing  other  social  activities. 
■^   Miy  is  it,  then,  that  in  the  Student  Center  women  are 
not  allowed  to  dress  in  an  attire  that  is  appropriate  for 
"he  situation,  and  in  harmony  with  the  pnmary  function 
of  tlie  Center? 

The  dress  code  policy  requires  that  women  wear 
dresses  in  the  Student  Center  at  ^' «'"'^*v  ^""P' °"  „,, 
Sunday.   This  means  that  during  the  week,  women  must 
wear  dresses  even  when  participating  in  any  form  of  re- 
creational activity  in  the  Center. 

In  order  to  play  the  Ooor  games-checkers,  chess,  pai- 
chesi,  dominoes,  etc.-participants  must  sit  on  the  floor. 
Playing  in  this  position  is  more  appropriate  in  slacks 
than  in  a  dress. 

When  the  Student  Center  fust  opened,  our  Accent 
photographer  took  a  picture  of  students  first  using  then- 
new  faculties    We  would  have  been  embarrassed  to  have 
printed  the  picture.    It  showed  two  girls  wearing  dresses, 
the  hemlines  of  which,  colloquially  speaking,  "were  closer 
to  their  navels  than  to  theu-  knees."    The  shortness  ot 
the  skirts  was  accentuated  bv  the  furnishings  of  the  Center. 
Tlie  ^s  would  have  been  more  in  harmony  with  Christian 
standards  of  modesty  had  they  been  wearmg  slacks  rather 
than  dresses. 

The  Student  Affairs  Committee  recently  sent  a 
recommendation  to  the  Faculty  Senate  requesting  that 
women  be  allowed  to  wear  slacks  in  the  Student  Center 
on  weekdays  after  7:00  p.m. 

Our  thanks  go  to  the  Student  Affairs  Committee 
for  realizing  that  a  problem  does  exist  in  this  area,  and 
for  recommending  that  something  be  done  about  it.  We 
beseech  the  Faculty  Senate  to  carefuUy  analyze  the  sit- 
uation, and  to  take  proper  action  in  Ught  of  the 
difficulties  that  have  arisen  from  the  present  situation. 

No  Student  Voice? 

Important  decisions  that  affect  students  are  now  being 
made  by  various  organized  bodies  that  do  not  contain  any 
student  representation.  For  instance,  the  Student  Affairs 
Committee  last  week  discussed  the  possibilities  of  offering 
mixed  swimming.  Dress  and  grooming  policies  were  also 
discussed  by  the  committee. 

The  structure  of  the  Faculty  Senate  and  most  of  the 
administrative  committees  provides  that  a  certain  quota 
of  their  memberships  be  made  up  of  students  with  full 
voting  priviledges. 

Why  then  is  there  no  student  representation?   Simply 
because  the  vacancies  on  theses  committees  have  not  been 
filled  by  appointments  from  the  SA  President. 

According  to  SA  President  Leclare  Litchfield,  all 
appointments  must  be  approved  by  the  SA  Senate,  and 
the  Senate  is  not  even  elected  until  September  25.    At 
the  earliest,  the  fust  Senate  assembly  could  convene  a 
couple  of  weeks  after  that,  providmg,  of  course,  that  no 
election  nin-offs  are  necessary. 

By  the  time  the  Senate  can  get  around  to  approving 
the  student  appointees,  much  water  will  have  passed  under- 
neath the  bridge. 

It  is  the  duty  of  the  SA  in  the  sprmg  to  appoint  these 
student  representatives.  Last  spring  the  SA  was  negligent 
m  this  matter,  and  now  the  students  suffer.  The  mistake 
has  already  been  made,  though,  and  all  that  can  be  done 
now  is  to  make  the  best  of  the  situation. 

Perhaps  students  could  be  appointed  by  executive  com- 
mand to  these  positions  on  strictly  a  temporary  basis,  serv' 
ing  until  the  Senate  officially  ratifies  the  SA  President's 
nominations. 

It  is  vitally  important  that  the  viewpoints  of  the 
students  be  blended  into  the  rationale  that  formulates 
academic  and  social  policies.   It  is  essential  that  student 
representatives  be  appointed  immediately  to  serve  in  the 
places  that  have  been  provided  for  them.

College 

receives 

Dow 

Chemical 

gift 


Late  this  summer  SMC  was  the 
recipient  of  a  gift  from  Dow  Chemical 
Company,  consisting  of  the  contents  of 
an  eight  by  ten  foot  trailer  filled  with 
items  of  interest  to  students  and  faculty. 
Since  the  company  is  mainly  a  chem- 
ical production  center,  the  gift  included 
items  such  as  flow  valves,  pressure 
meters,  and  other  items  dealing  with 
the  production  of  chemicals.   This 
contribution  is  of  special  value  to  the 
Biology,  Physics,  Industrial  Arts,  and 
Chemistry  departments. 

The  Chemistry  and  Physics  depart- 
ments divided  among  themselves  two 
large  cardboard  barrels  full  of  clamps, 
tlasks,  and  assorted  items  useful  in  con- 
ducting experiments.    Also  received 
was  a  device  for  measuring  the  flow 
density  and  mass  of  a  liquid  through  a 
given  area  during  a  specific  time.    An 
instrument  was  included  which  measures 
viscosity  and  temperature  of  liquids. 

There  were  also  thermometers,  bal- 
ances, refractometers,  strain  gauges,  and 
a  chromatograph,  an  instrument  used  for 
the  separation  of  complex  mixtures  by 
percolation  through  a  selectively  absorb- 
ing medium,  as  through  a  column  of 
magnesia,  yielding  stratified,  constitute 
layers. 

The  Biology  Department  received  a 
mechanical  desk  calculator  which  will  aid 
greatly  in  calculation  of  grades.    The 
Industrial  Arts  Department  received  a 
variety  of  electrical  gadgetry  and  a  re- 
fractometer  (which  measures  the  indices 
of  refraction.) 

This  is  not  the  first  gift  received  from 
Dow  Chemical  Company.    In  November 
of  1964  SMC  received  a  truck  load  of 
materials  from  the  same  location.

for  an 

end  to 

student 

apathy 

Ed.  note-Tlie  following  article  vras 
written  as  a  lettw  to  the  Accent  by 
John  Q.  (Moose)  Smith,  executive 
vice-president  of  the  SA.  We  are 
puM^hiog  the  letter  as  follows  in  the 
form  of  an  article. 


Elections  for  the  Student  Senate  are 
less  than  a  week  away.   The  last  election 
we  had  on  this  campus,  fewer  than  35% 
of  the  eligible  students  voted.   When  that 
35%  came  to  vote,  the  ballot  actually 
didn't  offer  much.   Six  of  nine  candi- 
dates were  running  unopposed.   Of 
course  there  were  several  unusual  sit- 
uations arising  last  year  and  people  be- 
came tired  of  voting,  or  so  I  am  told. 
Personally,  I  wanted  to  have  some 
voice  in  the  way  my  money  was  spent, 
and  the  way  my  student  govertunent  was 
run,  so  1  voted. 

Why  should  anyone  vote?  Why  should 
anyone  run  for  office?   Someone  once 
said  if  the  government  is  run  for  the  peo- 
ple, then  the  people  should  have  a  voice 
in  who  is  running  it.   Another  has  said 
that  when  people  cease  to  have  an  input 
to  government  then  government  ceases  to 
have  output  for  the  people.   As  a  student 
1  can  buy  that.   But  there  is  more.  We 
students  are  here  to  get  an  education,  but 
even  more  to  prepare  for  the  future.   I 
for  one  feel  the  latter  is  the  main  reason 
we  are  here,  for  the  future  is  ours. 

Those  who  are  acquainted  with  me 
probably  tire  of  this  line,  and  I  guess  it 
has  developed  as  my  own  philosophy  of 
education  and  perhaps  my  philosophy  of 
life  at  this  age.   For  1  am  very  serious  in 
urging  my  friends-guess  what!    One  of 
these  days  we're  going  to  wake  up  and 
find  we  have  to  take  over,  in  leading 
the  church,  in  leading  the  schools,  and 
even  in  leading  our  country.   And  you 
know  why?   Because  it  is  our  turn  and 
there  is  nobody  left  but  us.   Isn't  that 
what  we  are  preparing  for?    And  aren't 
we  all  very  apathetic? 


We  exhibit  a  gross  lack  of  concern, 
my  colleagues  and  I  do.   Of  course  this 
isn't  a  peculiar  trait  of  Sevens-day 
Adventists  but  more  a  trait  of  my 
peculiar  generation,  coUectively.   It 
^so  a  trait  of  America  in  the  1970  s 
This  was  exhibited  in  the  last  presidenual 
elecUon  among  other  things.    But  why 
should  the  present  college  generation  be 
more  apatheUc  than  others?  I  guess  part 
of  the  fault  belongs  to  the  Vietnam  war. 
It  was  disiUusioning  for  those  who  went 
and  for  those  who  stayed.   I  can  remember 
when  the  big  thing  was  to  keep  score  and 
we  all  wondered  how  many  more  would 
die  before  this  mess  was  over.   Those 
who  didn't  go  could  sit  around  the  tube 
and  see  an  instant  replay  of  the  days 
acUon  with  Walter  Cronkite  and  supper. 
And  our  minds  and  morals  had  to  be 
affected. 

The  last  three  presidential  elecUons 
were  decided  partly  by  assasination.  In 
1964  President  Kennedy  didn't  run  for 
reelection.  He  had  gotten  involved  too 
much.  In  1968  Hubert  Humphrey  was 
defeated  in  the  presidential  election. 
He  would  not  have  run,  but  Senator 
Robert  Kennedy  was  shot  a  few  months 
earlier.  He,  also,  had  gotten  involved  too 
much. 

In  1972  President  Nixon  won  by  a 
landslide.  This  has  proved  to  be  unfort- 
unate in  certain  respects.   George  Wallace, 
was  recuperating  from  a  gunshot  wound. 
And  when  we  are  brought  up  in  this  at- 
mosphere where  those  who  get  involved 
get  shot,  the  only  alternative  is  to  not 
get  involved. 

Also  most  of  us  were  reached  in 
affluence,  not  wanting  a  great  deal.  We 
have  not  known  or  have  forgotten  how  it 
feels  to  be  hungry  or  cold  or  unwanted. 
Until  one  has  experienced  need  it  is 
hard  to  empathize,  so  we  apathize. 

In  his  war  message  President  Abraham 
Lincoln  said:   "My  fellow  citizens  we 
cannot  escape  history.  We  of  this  congress 
and  we  of  this  administration  will  be 
remembered  in  spite  of  ourselves." 
Shortly  before  his  death  Senator  Robert 
Kennedy  expressed  his  philosopy  of  life. 
"Some  people  accept  things  as  they  are 
and  ask  why.  I  dream  things  never  were 
and  ask  why  not." 

How  does  this  apply  to  students  at 
SMC?   I  say  we  too  cannot  escape  history 
and  we  will  be  remembered  in  spite  of 
ourselves.  We  can  accept  things  as  they 
are  and  ask  why,  or  dream  things  which 
never  were  and  ask  why  not.   Now  why 
does  the  Student  Senate  have  to  do  with 
all  this?    By  getting  involved  we  fight 
apathy.   By  fighting  apathy  we  prepare 
ourselves  for  an  active  future.   And  the 
future  is  ours.   Look  around,  there  is 
no  one  else.

Emergency  Telephone  Assistance  (ETA) 
is  the  newest  industry  on  campus  and  has 
possibilities  of  employing  the  "greatest 
number  of  students,"  says  Mr.  Amenco 
Ciuffardi,  director  of  the  business. 

With  headquarters  in  Dallas,  Texas, 
ETA  is  a  service-oriented  organization 
providing  notification  and  identification 
help  during  emergencies.   Each  member  s 
information  is  stored  in  the  latest  micro- 
film storage  and  retrieval  system  for  in- 
stand  recall.  , 

The  company  is  only  two  and  one  half 
years  old  and  has  caught  on  throughout 
the  coimtry.  Plans  are  being  made  to 
open  77  regional  centers.   "ETA  (also 
known  as  Life  Bank)  has  been  praised  by 
both  the  medical  profession  and  emergencj 
rescue  squads  throughout  the  nation," 
reports  Ciuffardi. 

WSAAC-FM 
knocked 
off  air 

Lightning  put  WSMC-FM  off  the  air     . 
last  week.  Simultaneously  with  a  bolt  of 
lightning  and  a  momentary  power  failure 
in  CoUegedale  the  evening  of  September  14 
the  WSMC  signal  disappeared  from  the 
air.   Equipment  was  put  out  of  commision 
at  both  the  transmitter  sites  and  the 
studio,  according  to  John  Beckett, 
engineer. 

Due  to  a  continuing  power  failure  on 
Whiteoak  mountain,  WSMC  was  unable  to 
return  to  the  air  until  about  10:00  the 
following  morning,   "We  Had  power  for 
some  equipment  such  as  the  emergency 
services  in  the  building  almost  immediately 
but  the  three-phase  power  required  for  our 
ten-thousand-watt  transmitter  was  out," 
stated  Beckett.   "We  are  happy  to  say  that 
in  our  equipment  nothing  more  expensive 
I  than  fuses  were  destroyed." 


Members  of  ETA  are  provided  with  an  I 
identification  card  for  their  wallets  and  a  I 
medalian  to  wear,  each  giving  the  mem. 
ber's  identification  number  and  instruc. 
tions  to  call  the  central  office  toll  free. 

Types  of  emergencies  that  can  be 
helped  through  ETA   include:   auto 
accidents,  industrial  or  home  accidents, 
missing  children,  epileptic  seizure  victu)^  I 
heart  patients,  drug  sensitivities,  and 
insurance  confirmation;  the  list  is  end- 
less. Mr.  Ciuffardi  tells  of  a  lady  who 
called  her  ETA  number  when  her  house 
was  being  broken  into.   The  police  were 
on  the  scene  within  minutes  of  her  call. 
After  a  person  has  subscribed,  as  an 
emergency  calls  can  be  made  as  necessary  I 
at  no  extra  cost.  [ 

Early  in  the  summer  of  this  year  SMC  I 
was  able  to  obtain  the  franchise  from  EtJ 
for  twenty  counties  in  four  states:  North! 
Carolina,  Georgia,  Alabama,  and  Teiuiesseil 
Students  now  have  the  opportunity  to 
make  this  service  available  to  citizens  in 
this  area. 

"The  student  will  be  his  own  boss," 
says  Ciuffardi.   "He  will  set  his  own  houn| 
and  work  at  his  own  pace."   The  only 
qualifications  necessary  for  the  job  are, 
personality  to  meet  people,  an  attractive  I 
professional  appearance,  and  a  steadiness  I 
and  determination.  I 

Mr.  Ciuffardi  says  the  student's  earainJ 
will  be  40%  of  his  sales.   Thrity-nine     | 
students  have  already  signed  up  for  work  | 
and  another  40  or  so  have  expressed  a 
serious  interest. 

Possible  contacts  for  sales  can  be  ob-  I 
tained  through  a  door  to  door  campaign,  |

'Face  of

to  be 

I,    sculptured 

Friday 

night 


thrist  through  the  media  of  sculpture, 

r.Tm^*'.,'""'''^'  *"'  "'^  presented 
at  8.00  Friday  evening,  September  21 
by  sculptor-artist  Gilbert  NeU  Amelio. 

Upholding  his  claim  that  "Ait  should  • 
be  witnessed  during  the  creative  activity  " 
Ameho  wUl  combine  a  history  of  art 
with  the  actual  feature-of-the-moment 
sculpturing  of  the  face  of  Christ  as  the 
particular  era  is  developed.     After  discus 
sing  the  cultural  and  social  influences  of 
Byzantine  Art  and  the  Italian  Renais- 
sance, Amelio  moves  into  the  scenes  of 
the  Passion  of  Christ. 

During  the  passion  scenes  the  audience 
sees  the  final  scourgings,  the  mocking 
whipping,  and  crucifixion  itself  vividly 
displayed  as  the  Face  reflects  the  suf- 
fering of  Christ.     Then  the  audience 
is  reminded  that  Christ  conquered  death 
as  a  brief  change  in  features  illustrates 
the  resurrection,  showing  the  crown  of 
thorns  becoming  the  crown  of  Christ 
the  King. 

Gilbert  Amelio  is  an  American  artist. 
He  studied  fme  arts  at  the  University  of 
Southerii  California  under  the  late  Francis 
de  Erderly,  internationally  known  artist, 
and  Edgar  Ewing.    Although  painting 
was  his  major  subject,  Amelio  also  took 
a  course  in  sculpturing  from  Professor 
Merrell  Gage,  famous  for  his  Face  of 
Lincoln. 

Amelio  first  conceived  his  idea  for  the 
"Face  of  Christ"  as  a  response  to  a 
series  of  answered  prayers.   Employing 
sculpture,  music,  and  literature  in  a  con- 
cunent  work  of  the  arts,  he  brings  to- 
his  audiences  a  new  realizarion  of  a 
three-dimensional  artistic  creation  as  well 
as  a  greater  understanding  of  the  sacrifice 
of  Christ.

"It's  the  fastest  growing  class  on 
campus"states  Dr.  Arno  Kutzner, 
Director,  of  Admissions  and  Records. 
Building  Technology  has  grown  from  a 
small  class  of  9  students  last  year,  to 
29  students  this  year.     This  is  the 
second  year  of  this  Associate  Degree 
program  offered  in  Building  Technology. 
Hiawatha  Estates  on  OolteWah-Ringold 
road,  is  the  sight  of  the  one  already 
completed  home  and  three  more  cur- 
rently'under  construction. 

The  houses  being  built  this  year  are 
all  on  lots  of  approximately  two  acres. 
They  will  cost  somewhere  in  the 
$60,000  price  range,  states  Mr.  Robert 
Warner,  faculty  instructor.     One  of  the 
houses  now  under  construction  is  al- 
ready sold.    The  reason  that  the  houses 
are  so  large,  according  to  Mr.  Warner,  is 
so  they  can  accomodate  the  twelve  to 
fifteen  students  working  on  them. 
Also,  he  feels  that  building  a  fine  home 
creates  a  pride  in  each  of  the  students 
that  in  turn  promotes  better  work- 
manship and  better  learning. 

First  year  students  spend  first  semes- 
ter totally  involved  in  the  class. 
Morning  classes  are  drafting  classes,  and 
from  one  to  five  in  the  afternoon, 
they  work  at  the  construction  site. 
Second  semester  they  take  general  class- 
es in  the  morning. 

The  second  year  students  do  all  the 
work  on  their  own.     Mr.  Thomas 
Grindley  is  in  charge  of  them,  but  only 
as  an  overseer.     Each  student  figures 
the  cost  of  materials  down  to  the 
smallest  details  and  submits  his  bid  for 
each  particular  phase  of  the  construction. 
The  lowest  bid  is  chosen  and  the  student 
who  submitted  it  becomes, the  contractor 
for  that  particular  part  of  the  project, 
with  the  rest  of  the  class  working  . 
under  him.     They  also  do  the  plumb- 
ing, electrical  wiring,  framing,  block 
work,  cabinetry,  in  short,  all  but  the 
heating  and  air-conditioning.     An 
added  incentive  is  that  during'  the  second 
year,  students  are  paid  $2.00  an  hour 


for  work  on  their  houses. 

Mr.  Warner  was  quick  to  inform 
that,  "Without  the  administration  that 
we  have  at  this  school,  this  project 
wouldn't  have  gotten  off  the  ground. 
They  are  very  flexible  people.     They 
didn't  know  what  they  wanted  last 
year,  but  they  knew  they  needed  some- 
thing of  this  nature.     I  told  them 
about  this  set  up.     They  bought  it  and 
they  were  willing  to  try.     If  they 
hadn't  been  this  way  they  never  would 
have  o.k.'d  the  blueprints  to  the  first 
house,  its  teaching  them  to  build  with 
originality  and  pride.     Building  "quality" 
and  developing  pride  in  it  is  half  the 
battie.     We  want  to  develop  christian 
talents  to  further  the  Lord's  cause.'' 

The  Industrial  Arts  department 
recently  purchased  a  bus  in  order 
to  provide  transportation  for  the 
Building  Technology  students  to  and 
from  work.     This  was  necessary  due  to 
.the  size  of  the  class  and  the  amount 
of  tools  needed  on  the  job 

You  might  be  interested  in  what  is- 
done  with  the  money  from  the  sale  of 
the  houses.     Expenses  and  anticipated 
sale  price  are  figured  so  closely  that 
profits  are  not  as  great  as  you  might 
expect.     Nevertheless,  $5,000  was 
donated  to  the  Nicaragua  Mission 
Project,  as  well  as  a  summer's  work  by 
two  of  last  year's  class  at  the  mission 

Mr.  Thomas  Grindley,  new  on  the 
faculty  this  year,  is  in  charge  of  one 
group  of  first  year  men,  and  the  second 
year  students.     He  comes  to  S.M.C. 
from  Farmington,  New  Mexico,  and  is 
king  toward  finishing  the  last  nine 
units  of  .work  on  his  Masters  degree  in 
Industrial  Arts. 

When  he  was  askqd  if  he  had  any 
comments  on  the  class,  he  smiled  and 
looked  up  at  the  hot  sun,  shifted  his  ' 
weight  on  his  crutch  (the  result  of- 
hiirting  his  knee  while  clearing  the  build- 
ing site),  "If  the  weather  stays  like  this, 
it  will  be  BEAUTIFUL."

Teacher 

exchange 

brings 

Oakwood 

instructor 

to  SMC 


A  new  concept  in  teaching-a  teacher 
exchange-  is  in  progress  between  the 
history  departments  of  Oakwood  College 
and  SMC. 

Dr.  Carl  Anderson,  chairman  of  the 
history  department  at  Oakwood  College 
in  Huntsville,  Ala.  spent  last  week 
teaching  on  the  SMC  campus.   On 
October  3,  Dr.  Jerome  Clark,  professor 
of  history  at  SMC,  will  be  at  Oakwood 
College. 

According  to  Dr.  Clark,  it  is  only 
natural  to  have  an  interchange  between 
the  teaching  resources  of  the  two  colleges 
because  of  the  short  distance  between 
them. 

Dr.  Anderson  taught  the  class  in 
History  of  American  Minorities,  as  well 
as  the  English  class,  Introduction  to 
Linguistics.  Dr.  Clark  will  teach  the 
classes  Denominational  History  and 
International  Relations. 

Dr.  Anderson  also  spoke  to  the  Inter- 
national Relations  Club  meeting  Thursday 
on  the  topic  "Civil  Rights  Today." 

The  results  of  the  experimental  teacher 
exchange  will  be  reported  to  the 
Association  of  AdventisI  Historians  at  a 
convention  in  San  Francisco,  December 
I  28-30.   The  Association  is  made  up  of 

history  teachers  in  Adventist  colleges 
I  and  academies,  as  well  as  recent  graduate 
students  in  history.   Representing  SMC 
at  the  convention  will  be  Dr.  Clark  and 
Mr.  Floyd  Creenleaf,  assistant  professor 
of  history. 

Dr.  Anderson,  a  white  teacher  at  a 
predominately  black  college,  averred  that 
there  was  no  problem  in  his  relationship 
to  black  students.   When  he  first  went 
to  Oakwood  College,  he  told  his  stu- 
dents that  he  was  color-blind 

According  to  Dr.  Clark,  it  is  hoped 
that  the  exchanging  of  teachers  will 
prove  worlhwhOe  and  be  adopted  on  a 
wider  scale.

Student  mission 

opens  new  medical  clinic 


by   Beveily  Emm 

Nicaragua  is  a  word  that  means  a  lot 
to  the  Students  of  SMC.  Most  students 
know  that  there  is  a  missionary  clinic  there, 
but  not  everyone  knows  the  story  behind  it 

It  costs  a  lot  of  money  to  run  a  clinic, 
and  money  is  what  people  don't  have 
enough  of.   Nicaragua  is  a  hard  country 
to  get  any  supplies  into  because  of  the 
high  custom's  fee  required  on  the  goods. 
With  this  is  mind  Mr.  R.  R.  Aussner, 
faculty  sponser  for  Student  Missionary 
Activities,  journeyed  to  Nicaragua  this 
summer  to  see  General  Somoza,  the 
ruling  power  in  the  country.   General 
Somoza  is  the  only  five-star  general 
in  Nicaragua,  and  as  a  result  he  is  one 
of  the  most  powerful  men  in  the  govern- 
ment. 

Mr.  Aussner  was  given  .permission  to 
present  this  case  at  an  Emergency  Com- 
mittee meeting  which  was  called.    At  that 
.  meeting  he  was  given  a  chance  to  introduce 
the  program,  which  is  being  conducted  by 
Southern  Missionary  College  to  help  the 
Miskito  Indians,  to  numerous  govern- 
ment officials  with  General  Somoza 
himself  translating.    The  object  of  the 
presentation  was  to  obtain  permission 
to  bring  supplies  into  the  country  duty 
free. 


Dr.  Mejilla  Ubilla  cutting  the  ribbon  on  inauguration  Day. 


Later  that  week  Mr.  Aussner  was  in- 
vited to  supper  with  the  General,  his 
wife,  and  her  parents.   This  supper  gave 
further  opportunity  to  explain  the  aim  ant 
purpose  the  clinic  hoped  to  accomplish 
among  the  Indians.   General  Somoza  was 
extremely  interested  and  asked  many 
questions  not  only  regarding  the  mission 
but  also  about  why  Mr.  Aussner  didn't 
eat  or  drink  certain  things. 

The  result  of  that  visit  and  also  the 
presentation  at  the  committee  meeting 
was  permission  to  bring  supplied  for  the 
clinic  free  from  the  regular  custom's 
fee  and  sales  tax. 

Mr.  Aussner  also  went  to  visit  Dr. 
Fernando  Valle  Lopez,  the  minister  of 
Health,  who  donated  a  gift  of  226  lbs. 
of  medicines  to  the  mission,  along  with 
granting  exemption  from  the  license  fee 
placed  on  vehicles. 

This  exemption  was  especially 
appreciated  as  the  clinic  has  three  vehicles, 
an  old  jeep,  a  truck,  and  a  new  carry-all 
van  donated  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  E.  McKee. 
The  carry-all  van,  badly  needed  by  the 
clinic,  has  air-conditioning,  four  wheel 
drive,  and  room  for  ten  people.   A 
major  part  of  its  work  is  acting  as  an 
ambulance,  since  the  clinic  has  an  average 


of  five  emergency  runs  a  week  to  the 
nearest  hospital  forty-five  miles  away. 

There  was  some  trouble  with  the 
customs  officials  in  getting  the  van  into 
the  country.   They  wanted  to  charge 
$5,000  plus  5%  sales  tax.    Mr.  Aussner 
reminded  them  of  the  General's  ruling, 
and  finally  the  only  fee  that  was  paid 

s  $  1 1 .00  in  stamp  fees. 

Another  problem  which  arose  was  the 
fact  that  the  papers  for  the  land  on  which 
the  clinic  stands  had  not  been  received. 
Mr.  Aussner  went  to  visit  with  the 
director  of  the  Agricultural  Institute  of 
Nicaragua,  Dr.  Rodolfo  Mejilla  Ubilla. 
He  discovered  that  the  reason  for  the 
delay  was  the  fact  that  the  mission  wasn't 
registered  with  the  government.    A  fee 
of  $2,500  -  $3,000  is  normally  charged 
to  register  anything  with  the  government, 
but  God  intervened  and  $900  was  the 
only  charge.   The  mission  is  now  re- 
gistered as  the  Seventh-day  Adyentist 
Mission  of  Tasba  Raya  -  S.M.C. 

Mr.  Aussner  asked  Dr..  Mejilla  Ubilla 
to  have  the  papers  for  the  land  drawn  up 
by  the  Inauguration  Day  of  the  clinic. 
On  that  day  it  would  be  decided  whether 
the  mission  was  to  expand  or  just  remain 
as  it  is,  a  clinic  in  one  of  the  four  villages 


of  that  area. 

Inauguration  Day  was  July  31,  1973. 
General  Somoza  was  to  have  attended, 
but  trouble  in  the  capital  forced  him  to 
remain  where  he  was.    However,  he  sent 
several  other  government  officials  to  re- 
present him.   Mr.  Aussner  was  presented 
with  the  papers  for  not  only  the  land  on 
which  tlie  clinic  and  the  mission  house 
stand  but  also  a  portion  of  land  in  each 
of  the  three  remaining  villages  and  a  large 
percentage  of  land  fron)  an  area  centrally 
positioned  amidst  the  villages. 

As  a  result  the  future  plans  for 
this  area  are  to  have  a  small  clinic  in 
each  village  with  a  12  bed  hospital,  church 
school,  an  agricultural  and  experimental 
station,  and  industries  such  as  a  broom 
shop  and  woodwork  factory  in  the 
center  section.   These  plans  may  take 
several  years  to  finalize,  but  with  God  on 
our  side  and  with  the  support  of  the  stu- 
dents of  SMC,  nothing  is  impossible. 

Any  student  interested  in  the  Nicara- 
guan  mission  project  who  would  like 
to  help  out  in  some  way  should  contact 
Mr.  Aussner,  Modern  Language  Depart- 
ment. Lynn  Wood  Hall.

George  Walker,  a  professional  artist 
from  San  Diego,  Calif.,  has  joined  the 
Art  Department  staff  of  SMC  for  the 
'73-'74  lall  semester.    He  is  teaching  the 
Painting  I  class  and  two  sections  of  the 
Drawing  I  class. 

Mr.  Walker  obtained  his  advanced 
training  at  the  University  of  Oregon  where, 
he  states,  "I  became  oriented  to  the  north- 
south  of  the  art  world." 

He  has  been  teaching  art  for  mneteen 
years,  chiefiy  to  private  individuals  and 
adult-education  classes;  but  now  he  is 
having  a  new  experience-teaching 
college  students.   "If  I  could  choose  an 
age  group  that  I'd  prefer  to  teach,  I'd 
choose  the  college  age,"  says  Mr.  Walker. 
"They're  usually  taking  the  class  because 
they  want  to.    It  makes  a  difference 
whei-  they're  interested. 

Before  coming  to  SMC,  Mr.  Walker 
was  set  up  for  some  art  jobs  in  New  York 
City.   His  main  occupation  is  free  lance 
artistry,  the  bulk  of  his  work  being 
original  oil  paintings,  watercolors,  and 
house  plans.

the  fast  pitch  league  with  a  4-0  record. 
Chrispens  Icnocked  off  Me  4-1  and 
Corbett  54  in  their  bids  for  an  unde- 
feated season.   Spears  shutout  CockieU 
on  a  five  hit  pitching  perfonnance  by 
tyle  Botimer    In  the  only  other  game 
pLed,  CockreU  and  Hale  battied  to  a 
3-3  tie    The  Thursday  scheduled  garne 
between  CockreU  and  Corbett  was  caUed 
°Ts;"errr"nttedgamebetwee,| 
Chrispens  and  Corbett,  there  were  some 
defensive  plays.   Jim  Johnson  (Chrispens) 
made  two  excellent  plays  at  first  base  by 
knockine  down  a  hot  smash  off  the  bat 
0?  Dave^Knecht  to  make  the  putout  and 
snagging  a  line  shot  hit  down  the  first 
Zhnl  by  Wayne  LUjeros.   Steve  Sals_ 
berry  (Corbett)  made  a  fine  diving  catch 
in  the  top  of  the  fifth  to  rob  Morgan 


Hellgren  of  a  hit.   After  making  two 
successive  errors  earlier  in  the  bottom  of 
the  fourth  inning,  John  Maretich 
made  a  comeback  by  making  two  succes. 
sive  putouts  with  the  bases  loaded,  5-2 
and  5  unassisted,  to  end  the  inning  and 
allow  no  runs  to  score. 

Slow  pitch  had  four  games  on  tap 
for  last  week.   Okimi  sneaked  by 
Davis  12-10  and  Wiehn  kept  his  record 
unblemished  by  rolling  over  Zollinger 
10-6.  The  other  two  games  were  rained 
out. 

The  girls  Softball  season  started 
last  week  as  Casil  defeated  Ledford 
20-12  and  the  Academy  whipped 
Serns  12-2.   Casil  has  started  the 
year  with  an  impressive  show,  with 
players  like  Sam  Walton  (3  for  5  with 
two  doubles)  and  Cindy  Dittman  (2  for 
4  with  one  double  and  one  triple)  in 
the  lineup.

Tuesday 

chaoel 


Eld.  H.  H.  Schmidt,  president  of 
the  Southern  Union  Conference,  will 
highUght  Careers  Day  activities  Tuesday 
when  he  speaks  to  the  student  body 
in  the  11:00  chapel  program. 

Speaking  on  the  topic  "My  Reward 
-How  Determined?",  Eld.  Schmidt 
will  use  as  the  foundation  of  his 
talk  the  parable  of  the  laborers 
recorded  in  Matt.  20;   1-16. 

He  will  emphasize  the  point  that 
all  of  the  laborers     received  equal 
wages  at  the  end  of  the  day, 
even  though  some  had  started  working 
later  than  others.     The  faithfulness 
and  motives  of  the  workers  were 
what  counted,  not  the  amount  of 
time  they  had  worked. 

Eld.  Schmidt  will  draw  from  the 
story  a  contrast  between  the  world's 
viewpoint  on  a  career  and  the 
church's  viewpoint.     Service,  not 
self-gain,  is  the  aim  of  true  Christian 
labor. 

"Not  the  amount  of  labor  per- 
formed or  it's  visible  results,  but 
the  spirit  in  which  the  work  is  done 
makes  it  of  value  with  God." 
Christ's  Object  Lessons,  p.  397. 

The  chapel  speaker  will  point  out 
that  Jesus  defmed  the  purpose  of 
His  career  based  on  a  formula  of 
serving  others.     God's  business  must 
be  our  business;  His  career  must  be 
our  career. 

An  excerpt  from  Eld.  Schmidt's 
text  states,     "When  our  life's  course 
has  been  finally  run  and  our  plow 
pushed  aside,  God  will  then  re- 
ward us  according  to  how  we  have 
used  our  time."

Week  of 
Prayer 


The  first  regularly  scheduled 
faculty  meeting  of  the  1973-74 
academic  year  was  held  Sunday 
evening  at  7:30  pjn.,  September  23. 
President  Frank  Knittel  presided  at  the 
assembly.    The  subject  of  the  meeting 
was  the  Fall  Week  of  Spiritual  Empha- 
sis. 

It  was  announced  that  all  morning 
meetings  will  be  concluded  promptly 
at  11:45.     This  will  be  to  allow  time 
for  voluntary  prayer  bands  following 
the  morning  meetings.     The  pro- 
vision for  prayer  bands  after  the 


moming  meetings  has  not  been  a  part 
of  the  overall  program  of  the  Weeks 
of  Spiritual  Emphasis  for  a  number  of 
years. 

President  Knittel  noted  that  several 
of  the  speakers  during  past  Weeks  of 
Spiritual  Emphasis  had  been  some- 
what disappointed  with  the  attendance 
of  the  faculty  at  the  meetings.     The 
faculty  were  encouraged  to,  when- 
ever  possible,  attend  the  meetmgs  and 
they  were  also  specifically  requested 
to  participate  in  the  voluntary  prayer 
bands  with  the  students  and  their 
colleagues. 

It  was  also  requested  that  the 
faculty  refrain  from  administering  reg- 
ular tests  or  making  unusual  assign- 
ments during  the  week. 

There  was  a  question  and  answer 
period  during  the  meeting     Gener^ 
procedural  aspects  of  the  FaU  Week 
of  Spiritual  Emphasis  were  discussed. 
According  to  Dr.  M.D.  CampbeU, 
chairman  of  the  chemistry  depart- 
ment, a  prayer  service  concluded  the 
meeting,  showing  the  concern  by  the 
faculty  that  the  Fall  Week  of 
Spiritual  Emphasis  would  be  positive 
experience  for  aU  who  participated. 


When  the  annual  Denominational 
Careers  Day  comes  to  SMC  Tuesday, 
it  wfll  be  a  little  different  than  it 
has  been  during  the  past  two  years, 
according  to  Dr.  Cyril  Futcher, 
academic  dean. 

There  will  be  no  displays  or 
booths  in  the  physical  education 
center;  things  will  be  done  on  a 
quieter  scale.    Neither  will  classes 
be  interrupted  as  before.     Only  the 
12:00  and  1:00  period  classes  will 
be  omitted. 

The  sole  purpose  of  Careers  Day, 
according  to  Dr.  Futcher,  is  to 
show  students  what  the  SDA  church 
has  to  offer  in  the  line  of  denomi- 
national employment.     The  day  is 
designed  to  encourage  students  to 
consider  working  for  the  denomi- 
nation after  graduation. 

The  following  personnel  will  be 
on  the  campus  to  advise  students 
concerning  their  future  plans: 
7  conference  presidents 
9  hospital  adininistrators 
Others  from  Southern  Union: 
J.  H.  Whitehead 
V.  W.  Becker 
H.  F.  RoU 
H.  E.  Metcalf 
Eric  Ristau 
5  local  conference  educational 

secretaries 
Academy  principals 
Union  associate  medical  and 
dental  secretaries 
These  men  will  be  discussing 
employment  situations  with  indiv- 
idual students.    Interviews  are  to  be 
ananged  throu^  the  department  heads 
of  the  fields  represented. 

During  the  interviews,  information 
will  be  taken  concerning  the  qualif- 
ications for  employment  of  the 
individual  seniors. 

The  interviews  have  in  the  past 
proven  to  be  beneficial  in  helping 
seniors  find  job  opportunities  in 
the  Southern  Union. 


The  academy  principals  will  be 
looking  for  deans,  teachers,  and 
other  staff  members. 

Medical  Technology  students  will 
be  encouraged  by  representatives  of 
Florida  and  Madison  Hospitals  to  take 
their  last  year  of  training  at  these 
hospitals. 

Others  will  be  encouraged  to  come 
back  to  the  Southern  Union  for 
employment  after  they  have  finished 
graduate  work  in  law,  medicine, 
denistry,  and  other  such  fields. 
There  is  also  opportunity  for  some 
financial  assistance  for  those  attend- 
ing graduate  school  who  have  been 
hired  by  certain  branches  of  the 
denominational  work  in  the  Union. 

Chapel  at  11:00  ajn.  will  be 
presented  by  Eld.  H.  H.  Schmidt, 
president  of  the  Southern  Union. 

Following  chapel,  luncheons  will 
be  held  in  designated  areas  for 
the  various  groups  of  interest. 
The  meals  may  be  charged  to 
the  Southern  Union.     Luncheon 
and  interview  areas  are  as  follows: 
Nursing  and  paramedical 

Main  dining  room 
Elementary  and  secondary 
education 

Large  banquet  room 
Ministerial 

Banquet  rooms  A-D 
Business  and  secretarial 
Student  Senate  Committee 
Room 
Pre-medical  and  pre-dental 
Student  Center  game  room 
The  interviews  will  be  from  2:00 
to  5:00  p.m. 

Dr.  Douglas  Bennett  will  arrange 
appointments  for  ministerial  groups 
with  the  conference  presidents  and 
ministerial  secretaries. 

Mrs.  Doris    Payne  and  Mrs.  Chris- 
tine Shultz  will  arrange  appoint- 
ments for  the  nursing  students. 
Paramedical  groups  wiU  have  appoint- 
ments arranged  for  them  by  Dr. 
Henry  Kuhlman. 

Pre-medical  and  pre-dental  group 
appointments  will  be  arranged  for  the 
students  by  Dr.  Huldrich  Kuhlman 
and  Dr.  M.  D.  CampbeU. 

Business  and  secretarial  group 
appointments  for  the  education! 
students  will  be  arranged  through 
Dr.  Wayne  VandeVere  and  Mr. 
Richard  Stanley. 

Dr.  Stuart  Berkeley  will  arrange 
appointments  for  the  educational 
students,  with  the  interviews  con- 
ducted in  the  educational  building. 
The  interviews  in  education  will  be 
conducted  aU  day,  starting  at  8:00 
ajn. 

Not  all  sections  of  the  college  are 
included  in  the  Careers  Day,  because 
it  is  aimed  specifically  at  the  opport 
opportunities  available  in  the  de- 
nomination.

Why  work  for  church? 


Tuesday    is    Denominational    Careers    Day,   a 
time   set   aside   for   consideration   of   the    professional 
opportunities   avaUaNe    in    the    Seventh-day    Adventist 
denominational   structure. 

Tie  day  is  designed  to  help  students  become 
more  aware  of  the  responsibilities  of  working  for 
God. 

In   light    of   this    purpose,   we   share   the   follow- 
ing   statements    from    the    pen    of   Mrs.    Ellen    G. 
White: 

"There   is   room   m   the   work   of   God   for   all 
who   are   fiUed   with    the   spirit   of   self-sacrifice. 
God   is   calling   for   men   and   women    who    are 
willing   to   deny    self  for   the    sake    of   others, 
willing   to   consecrate   all    they   have   and   are    to 
His   work.      Men   are   needed   who,   when   they 
encounter    difficulties,    will    move   steadily    on, 
saying.   We   will    not    fail   or    become   discouraged. 
Men   ar«    needed   who    will  strengthen   and    build 
up   the   work   that    others   are   trying   to    do." 
Reviev)   and  Herdd,    April   28,    1904 

"Dear   young   friends,    remember    that    it    is    not 
necessary   to   be   an    ordained   minister   in    order 
to   serve   the    Lord.      There   are   many    ways   of 
working   for   Christ.      Human    hands   may    never 
have   been   laid   on   you    in   ordination,   but    God 
can   give   you    fitness   for    His   service.      He   can 
work   through    you    to   the   saving   of   souls.      If, 
having   learned   in   the    school   of   Chrst^   you   are 
meek   and  lowly    in    heart.    He    will    give    you    words 
to   speak   for    Him." 
The    Youth's  Instructor,   February    6,    1902 

"The   church   is   organized  for   service,   and  in   a 
life   of   service   to    Christ   coimection   with   the 
church   is   one   of   the   first   steps.      Loyalty    to 
Christ   demands    the   faithful   performance   of  church 
duties.      This    is   an   hnportant   part   of  one's 
training;   and   in.  a   church   imbued   with    the 
Master's   life   it    will    lead    directly    to   effort    for 
the   world   without.      There   are   many   lines   in 
whuh:  the   youth  can   find   opportunity   for 
helpful    effort." 
Education,   pp.    268,    269 

"The   work   above   all    work,— the    busmess   above 
all   others   wluch   should   draw  and   engage    the 
energies   of   the   soul,— is   the    work   of   saving 
souls   for   whom    Christ   has   died.      Make    this   the 
main,   the   important   work   of  your   life.      Make 
it   your   special   life    work." 
The    Youth's  Instructor,   May   4.    1893

Letters 


Dear   Editor: 

Then    there's    the    matter    of  roadj 
It    seems    that    the    Hamilton   County 
Divison    of   Roads    has    decided   to 
make-as    the    sign    so    aptly    states- 
some    "Slow   road    repairs."       It 
has    in    the    short  ~  span    of   two 
months,    through    a    super-human  ef. 
fort,    given    us    a    badly    needed  dirt 
road    from    "Four   Corners"    to 
Summit.       After    many    arduous 
hours    on    the  job,    the    Division 
has    actually    been    able    to    work  the 
road    into    a    passable   jeep    trail. 

As    the    rainy    season    comes  upon 
us,    you   will,    I'm    sure,    notice   the 
water    collection    basins    provided  foi 
in    the    road    bed    itself-for    our 
convenience.       These    are    not   only 
desirable    as    storage    depots    for  any 
precious    water    that    can    be  saved, 
but    are    also    needed    environ- 
mentally,   decreasing    soil    erosion 
in    the    area. 

I    understand    that    due    to   a   re- 
cent   landslide,    earthquake,    or 
other    natural    disaster,    the    road 
has    become    momentarily    grameled. 
Rest    assured,   however,    that    the 
boys    down    at    the    "HCDOR"   will 
have    our    road    back    in    shape   in 
no    time,    complete    with    built   in 
drainage    ditches,    rock    quarrys, 
water   holes,    dust    bowls    and    many 
other   modem    conveniences    of 
mechanized    America,    maybe    even 
some    which   we    haven't    thought  of 
yet. 

Let    me    say    that    I    am    proud 
to    be    Uving   where    such    great 
advances    are    made    in    a    state's 
Wghway    system,   yes,    even    daily. 
I    am    sure    that    the    road    will 
eventually    fall    again    into    its 
original    state    of   asphalt    and 
disrepair;   but    until    then,    let   us 
rejoice    greatly    and    be    exceeding 
gjad    for    our    dirt    road. 

As    for    me,    well,    I'm    building 
a   car    wash    at    each    end.

Sept.    26,    1973 

"Last  year  the  church  experienced 
a  real  shortage  of  certified  teachers 
cast  of  the  Mississippi,"  according  to 
Dr.  Stuart  Berkeley,  chairman  of  the 
education  department.     "We  could 
have  easily  placed  50-75  teachers  in 
the  church  this  year.     In  recent 
years,  there  has  come  to  be  a  need 
for  male  teachers  in  the  early  years  of 
grade  schools.     The  stigma  is  off-males 
are  being  placed." 

Schools  outside  of  the  denomina- 
tion in  the  Southeast  have  also  ex- 
perienced a  shortage  of  teaciiers. 
"If  they're  willing  to  go  where  the 
needs  are,  we  can  place  them,"  Dr. 
Berkeley  added. 

A  great  need  has  arisen  for  sec- 
ondary level  teachers  in  industrial 
arts,  especially  in  the  public  school 
systems.     Math  and  science  are  two 
other  areas  of  teaclung  concern. 

The  wages  of  a  teacher  for  the 
denomination  approximately  equal 
that  of  the  public  school  teacher. 
Increases  in  salary  occur  with  ex- 
perience, especially  within  the 
SDA  church. 

Denominational  teachers  make 
around  S6,500  a  year,  with  re- 


sustcntalion,  and  Social  Security. 
Most  benefits  available  to  ministers 
are  also  available  to  teachers. 

Students  who  wish  to  obtain  place- 
ment within  the  denomination  should 
contact  the  principals  and  superin- 
tendents in  the  conference  wliere  they 
desire  employment. 

For  employment  outside  the  de- 
nomination, the  student  should  make 
application  to  the  school  in  which 
desires  to  be  employed. 

For  more  information  concerning 
the  education  program,  contact  Dr. 
Stuart  Berkeley,  chairman  of  the  ed- 
ucation department,  and  plan  to 
attend  the  luncheon  Tuesday  in  the 
large  banquet  room. 

Nursing    and    Paramedical 

Tliere  are  an  unlimited  number  of 
jobs  available  in  the  Florida  and  Tenn- 
essee Conference  in  Adventist  hospitals. 
The  hospitals  are  looking  for  nurses 
and  other  personnel  who  are  dedicated, 
consecrated  workers  for  God. 

Florida  Hospital  and  Madison  Ad- 
ventist Hospital  have  opportunities 
for  as  many  nurses  who  are  willing 


to  work  any  one  of  these  three 
shifts: 

7:00  a.m.  -  3:30  p.m. 

3:00  p.m.  -  11:30  p.m. 

11:00  p.m.  ■  7:30  a.m. 

The  starting  salary  for  a 
nurse  is  $700  a  month,  with  increases 
per  annum. 

A  two  weeks  vacation  is  paid  after 
one  year  of  work  in  the  hospital. 
After  five  years  of  work,  the  vacation 
length  is  increased  to  three  weeks. 
One  sick  day  is  allowed  per  month. 

There  is  no  difference  in  salary  be- 
tween the  baccalureale-degree  nurse 
and  the  associate-degree  nurse.     The 
only  difference  is  that  the  bacca- 
laureate nurse  has  more  opportunity 
for  rising  to  a  liiglier  position  of 
responsibility. 

For  more  information  regarding 
nursing  or  paramedical  professions, 
contact  Mrs.  Doris  Payne,  Mrs. 
Christine  Shultz,  or  Dr.  Henry 
Kuhlman,  and  plan  to  attend  the  lun- 
cheon Tuesday  in  the  main  dining 
room  of  the  cafeteria.

Office   Administration 

The  demand  for  competent 
xretaries  is  great  across  the  nation, 
jith  demands  increasing  yearly.     At 
he  present  time,  the  secretary  is  at 
he  top  of  the  list  as  far  as  employ- 
nenl  opportunities  are  concerned, 
recent  study  showed  that  ample 
nployment  for  secretaries  was  avail- 
able for  the  next  decade. 

The  church  needs  secretaries.     Many 
lof  the  medical  institutions  are  forced 
\o  hire  from  outside  the  denomination 
cause  of  a  lack  of  qualified  Seventh- 
Iday  Adventist  applicants. 

Educational  institutions,  conferences, 
land  publishing  houses  are  always  in 
■search  for  qualified  secretaries. 

Last  year  the  National  Secretary 
lAssociation  voted  to  let  Seventh- 
Iday  Adventist  secretaries  take  the 
■Certified  Public  Secretary  exam  on 
■a  week-day  rather  than  on  Saturday. 
Bnow,  Adventist  secretaries  have  the 
Ijopportunity  of  attaining  the 
^highest  level  in  their  profession. 

Business 

The  denomination  is  in  the  need  of 
competent  businessmen.     The  many 
facets  of  the  organizational  structure 
of  the  church  requre  many  well- 
trained  people  to  work  in  the  denom- 
inational work  as  businessmen. 

The  church  operates  scores  of 
hospitals  that  require  the  knowledge 
and  foresight  of  a  dedicated  Christian 
businessman.     Administration,  account- 
ing, personnel  directing,  and  many 
other  such  areas  are  in  need  of  com- 
petent men  and  women  experienced 

business  knowledge. 

Seventh-day  Adventists  have 
always  believed  in  the  education  of 
youth,  no  matter  what  the  costs.     As 
a  result,  numerous  educational  in- 
stitutions have  sprung  up  all  over  the 
world.    These  institutions  need 
competent  businessmen  to  oversee 
the  financial  and  business  operations 
of  the  various  organizations. 

The  local  conferences  also  need 
the  guidance  of  dedicated  accountants 
and  business  managers.

most  dynamic  ways  of  spreading  the 
Adventist  message,  also  needs  workers 
to  assure  that  the  best  and  most 
economical  ways  are  being  employed 
in  the  work. 

The  Southern  Union  has  opportun- 
ities for  an  auditing  internship. 
Under  this  program,  the  intern  works 
with  the  Union  auditor  and  has  the 
opportunity  to  visit  the  various  de- 
nominational institutions.    This 
allows  a  student  to  see  what  area  of 
the  work  he  prefers  and  also  to  be- 
come acquainted  with  prospective 
employers. 

For    more    information    concerning 
opportunities  available  in  business 
contact  Dr.  Wayne  VandeVere, 
chairman  of  the  business  admini- 
stration department.    Plan  to  attend

Senate  Committee  Room.

Sept.    26,    1973 


A   progressive    and   growing   church 
was   established   in    Hixson    early    this 
last    summer   after   many    months   of 
searching    for   a    place   to    hold    the 
church   services.      The   congregation 
is   presently    renting    facilities   from 
the    Ashland   Terrace   Christian 
Church,   but    it    has   already   begun 
making   plans   for   building   a    sanc- 
tuary   of   its   own.      A   plot    of 
land    has   been    purchased    on    Hixson 
Pike,   three   miles   west   of   the 
Northgate    Mall.      They    are    hoping 
to   worship   in    their   own    sanctuary 
by    the   fall    of  next    year. 

When    the   Hixson    congregation 
organized   into    a   branch   Sabbath- 
School    in   January,   no    one    realized 
how   fast    it   would    grow.      By 
late    April    it    became    a    company. 

The    next    step   of  organization 
is   becoming   a   full-fledged   church. 

The    original    date    for    the   or- 
ganization   into    a    full    church   was 
September    IS,   but    due    to   some 
unforseen   circumstances,   it    is    now 
set   for    this   coming   Sabbath, 
September    29. 

Tliis   summer   the   members   of 
the   Hixson   church    forged    ahead 
in   their    program   of  community 
witnessing.      Several    members   are 
giving   Bible   studies,   and    others 
have   gone   house-to-house    and 
signed   up   many    people    for    the 
Voice    of  Prophecy    correspondence- 
courses.       A    very    successful 
Vacation    Bible    School   was    con- 
ducted  under    the    leadership   of 
Brenda    Luster.      The    average    daily 
attendance    was   35    children-most 
non-Adventists. 

Another   factor    that    helped    the 
church   grow,   was   the    student 
pastor    program.       Under    the    direct- 
ion  of   the    pastor.   Eld.    Jerry 
Gladson,   four   students   learned 
through    experience    the    ways    to 
be    an    effective    spiritual    leader    in 
the    church.       The    students    who 
participated    in    this    program    were 
Ken    Wilson,    Bill    Broome,    Del 
Johnson,    and   John    Davis. 

As    a    result    of   their   work    this 
summer,   several    Bible    studies 
were    started. 


The    Southern    Accent 


The    student    pastor    program 
will   continue    through    this    school 
year    under   the   leadership   of   two 
students-John    Garner   and    Bill 
Shelly. 

One   of  the    biggest    projects 
started    in   the    Hixson    area    this 
summer   was   the    Abundant    Life 
Center,   formerly    known    as    the 
Salt    Mine. 

Youth   outreach    in   the    conununity 
was    the    main    emphasis    at    first. 
On    Saturday    nights,    topics    of 
interest   were    discussed   with    the 
young   people. 

Recently,   the    Center    opened 
a    new   phase    of  its   work,   and   it 
is   now    a    health    food    store.      The 
director,    Chuck    Luster,    is    asking 
for    volunteers   to    help   run    the 
store    for    a    few    hours    each    week. 
Anyone    interested    is    advised   to 
call    Luster    at    396-3276. 

As    the    work    expands    in    Hixson, 
more    people    are    needed    to    help 
witness    to    the    residents    of    this 
community.       It    is    the    aim    of   the 
Hixson    Seventh-day    Adventist    church 
to    let    every    home    in    the    area 
know   about    the   church    and   its 
beliefs. 

Students   are    invited   to    help 
with    the    Hixson    Project.       Trans- 
portation   to    the    Hixson    church 
leaves    from   Wright    Hall    every 
Sabbath    morning   at    8:45    a.m. 


All    Home    Economics    Majors, 
including    Foods   and   Nutrition, 
Interior    Design,    and    General 
Home    Economics,   are   invited 
to    supper   on    October   3    at 
6.00    p.m.       Get    your    free 
ticket    from    the   receptionist 
in    Summerour    Hall    any    morning. 
October    1    is   the    last    day    to 
get    a    ticket.

The  Faculty  Senate  meeting,  in  its 
second  regular  session  of  the  1973-74 
academic  year,  acted  on  several  recom- 
mendations, including  one  of  particular 
interest  to  students. 

Acting  on  the  recommendation  of 
the  Student  Affairs  Conunittee,  the 
Senate  has  approved  the  wearing  of 
slacks  by  women  in  the  Student 
Center  after  7  pjn. 

Even  thou^  the  Senate  has  passed 
this  matter,  it  will  not  be  enacted  for 
a  period  of  four  weeks.    This  time 
period  is  to  allow  other  faculty  mem- 
bers to  petition  the  action  to  the 
Faculty  Assembly  for  repeal,  if  they 
so  widi.    According  to  reliable 
sources,  there  is  a  distinct  possibility 
of  this  happening. 

StudenU  Kay  Waller  and  Bob 
Zima  were  in  attendance  at  this  meet- 
ing of  the  Senate  as  members,  having 
been  temporarily  appointed  to  these 
posts  by  SA  President  Leclare 
Litchfield.    Also  in  attendance  was 
John  Smith,  SA  executive  vice- 
president. 

The  Senate  is  currently  engaged 
in  the  revision  of  the  Faculty 
Handbook.    They  approved  the 
following  revisions. 

Grievance  Procedures 

If  any  faculty  member(s)  feel  he 
has  cause  for  grievance  in  any  matter 
not  involving  dismissal,  and  he  has 
failed  in  his  attempts  to  resolve  the 
issue  on  a  personal  basis,  he  may 
petition  the  Faculty  Affairs  Committee 
for  redress.     The  petition  shall  set 
forth  in  detail  the  nature  of  the 
grievance  and  shall  state  against  whom 
the  grievance  is  directed.     It  shall 
contain  any  factual 


contain  any  factual  or  other  data 
which  the  petitioner  deems  pertinent 
to  his  case.     Submission  of  a  petition 
will  not  automatically  insure  considera- 
tion of  the  case  by  the  committee. 
If  the  committee  decides  the  facts 
merit  arbitration  on  its  part,  it  will 
seekd  to  bring  about  a  settlement 
satisfactory  to  all  parties  concerned 
The  committee  will  report  its  find- 
ings and  recommendations  to  the 
parties  involved.     Items  of  a  personal 
nature  will  be  held  in  confidence  by 
the  committee. 

Faculty  Dismissal 
Each  member  of  the  faculty  U 
expected,  by  his  attitude,  behavior, 
beliefs,  and  interpersonal  relationships, 
to  enhance  the  intellectual,  spiritual, 
and  social  atmosphere  of  the  campus. 
Failure  in  one  or  more  of  these  as- 


Ihe  faculty  affairs  committee  shall 
appoint  a  hearing  committee  of  five 
members  of  the  faculty  assembly-a 
chairman,  two  from  a  list  of  four 
names  submitted  by  the  president  and 
two  from  a  list  of  four  names  sub- 
mitted by  the  faculty  member,  but 
not  later  than  thirty  days  from  the 
time  the  petition  was  received.     The 
faculty  member  may  bring  a  counsel 
of  his  choice  to  the  hearing.     The 
parties  involved  shall  make  every 
effort  to  present  the  most  reliable 
evidence  available  and  the  committee 
shall  conduct  the  hearing  in  a  manner 
which  is  just  and  equitable  to  both 
the  administration  and  the  faculty 
member.     Within  seven  days  of  the 
close  of  the  hearing,  the  committee 
shall  forward  its  report  to  the  presi-

Formal  dismissal  proceedings  against 
a  member  of  the  faculty  are  initiated 
by  a  letter  from  the  president  to  the 
faculty  member  notifying  him  of  the 
president's  intention  to  recommend 
his  dismissal  to  the  board  and  the 
reason  for  this  action.     Such  notifi- 
cation shall  be  given  at  least  sixty 
days  in  advance  of  the  board  meeting 
at  which  the  dismissal  recommendation 
will  be  made.     Ordinarily,  first-year 
faculty  members  should  receive  notice 
of  dismissal  proceedings  no  later  than 
March  I  and  all  others  no  later  than 
January  I.     However,  if  gross  and 
inexcusable  inefficiency,  neglect  of 
duty,  personal  misconduct,  or 
repudiation,  defiance  or  subversion  of 
the  standards  and  teachings  of  the 
Seventh-day  Adventist  Church  as  set 
forth  in  the  statement  of  the  beliefs 
in  the  Seventh-day  Adventist  Year- 
book is  involved,  notification  of 
dismissal  proceedings  may  be  rruide 
at  any  time. 

A  faculty  member  who  has  received 
written  notification  of  dismissal  proce- 
edings may,  within  twenty-one  days  of 
such  notification,  petition  the  faculty 
affairs  committee  for  a  hearing  of 
his  case.     Upon  receipt  of  such  peition 


the  faculty  member,  read  the  report 
of  the  hearing  committee  along  with 
his  recommendation  for  dismissal  at 
the  board  meeting.     The  faculty  mem- 
ber may  appear  with  his  counsel,  who 
shall  also  have  the  privilege  of  speak- 
ing, before  the  board  at  this  time. 
This  appearance  constitutes  his  appeal 
to  the  board.     While  the  hearing  is 
pending,  if  the  president  deems  it 
necessary,  the  faculty  member  may  be 
suspended,  but  his  salary  will  continue 
at  least  until  the  board  takes  an  action 
on  the  case. 

Scheduling  and  Coordination  of 
Curricular  and  Extraccuricular 
Activities  as  related  to  the 
Academic  Program

2.  That  field  trips  include  no  mart

The   Southern    Accent 

MV 

booth 

exhibited 

at  fair 


The  Abundant  Life  Center,  a  pro- 
ject of  the  Off-Campus  Ministry  of 
the  MV,  was  represented  by  a  booth 
at  the  Chattanooga-Hamilton  County 
Interstate  Fair  last  week. 

The  booth  was  set  up  to  show 
fair  visitors  that  there  is  a  better  way 
of  life,  according  to  Chuck  Luster, 
director  of  the  Center.    Literature, 
fihn  strips,  and  personal  contacts  by 
those  running  the  booth  dealth  with 
"anything  conducive  to  a  rich,  abun- 
dant Ufe." 

The  booth,  located  in  the  Exhibits 
Tent,  was  centered  around  God's 
natural  remedies  for  an  abundant 
life.  The  eight  remedies,  as  outlined 
by  Mrs.  EUen  G.  White,  were  lighted 
by  blinking  lights.  The  remedies  are: 
rest,  fresh  air,  sushine,  trust  in  God, 
temperance,  proper  diet,  exercise,  and 
water. 

The  film  strips  and  projector  were 
purchased  from  Eld.  Richard  Banon, 
director  of  the  Health  and  Temperance 
Department  of  the  Lake  Union  Con- 
ference, during  his  recent  visit  to  the 
SMC  campus  for  a  week  of  temperant- 
living  emphasis. 

The  films  were  continuous-running, 
three-minute  8imn  movies  depicting 
the  four  dimensions  of  abundant  liv- 
ing-physical, social,  mental,  and  spirit- 

The  booth  at  the  fair  has  been  the 
largest  advertising  and  promotional 
thrust  of  the  Center.    The  financing 
of  it  came  from  the  Hixson  church, 
and  from  the  On-Campus  department 
of  the  MV. 

The  booth  took  over  two  months 
to  build.  It  is  completely  transport- 
able, and  can  be  used  at  other  such 
fairs  at  other  times. 

Luster  estimates  that  the  Center 
gave  away  over  2,000  magazines,  such 
as  Ufe  and  Health  and  Listen. 
Several  hundred  people  were  also  sign- 
ed up  for  the  "Wayout"  program 
offered  by  the  Voice  of  Prophecy. 

A  mobile  clinic  was  also  used  by 
the  Center.  The  van  was  run  by 
student  nurses  giving  blood  pressures. 
The  fair  officials  expressed  their  sur- 
prise that  someone  would  be  willing 
to  donate  such  a  medical  service  to 
I  people  for  no  charge. 

The  fair  was  held  from  Monday 
through  Saturday  night. 

The  Abundant  Life  Center  is 
located  on  the  Hixson  Pike  in  Hixson, 
Tennessee.    The  outreach  program  is 
designed  to  reach  every  age  level  and 
every  type  of  personal  preference, 
says  Luster.    The  Center  conducts 
seminais  in  drug  use,  mountain  climb- 
ing, and  many  other  aspects  of 
living  abundantly. 

The  Center  invited  the  well-known 
radio  personality  Chickamauga 
Charlie  to  visit  the  health  food  store 
in  Hixson.    He  came,  planning  to 
spend  only  five  minutes  looking  around 
the  store.    He  ended  up  staying  for 
about  two  hours,  discussing  the  various 
aspects  of  healthful,  Chrisitan  living.

The  first  meeting  of  the  1973-74 
Student  Senate  convened  Monday  evening 
at  7:30.  Bill  Shelley,  MV  President,  open- 
ed the  meeting  with  a  short  devotional. 

Miss  Ellen  Zollinger,  one  of  those 
responsible  for  the  planning  of  the 
interior  decor  of  the  Student  Center, 
spoke  to  the  senators  about  the  scaling 
in  the  senate  meeting  room  and  asked  for 
their  evaluation  of  it. 

She  explained  that  the  admittedly 
unconventional  furniture  was  chosen  to 
increase  the  orientation  of  the  room 
more  toward  student  meetings  and 
other  activities  and  to  discourage  the 
scheduling  of  regular  classes  in  the  room. 

Reasons  for  the  cxclusing  of  a  fall 
free  day  from  this  year's  academic 
calender  were  presented  to  the  Senate 
by  Dr.  Lawrence  Hanson,  chairman  of 
the  Math  department.  He  cited  as  the 
primary  reason,  the  comparitively  short 
number  of  teaching  days  in  the  fall 
semester. 

Dr.  Hanson  also  talked  with  the 
senators  about  the  functions  of  the 
Faculty  Senate  and  its  relationship  to 
the  Administration,  Faculty  and  Student 
Senate. 

SA  Parlimentarian  Steve  Jones  then 
made  a  brief  presentation  to  the  senators 
on  the  basic  elements  of  parlimentary 
procedure.

Accent 


Still  160C  an  hour 

The  student  who  arrived  at  SMC  to  begin  the  1971-72 
school  year  found  the  tuition  at  S780  per  semester;  a 
head  of  lettuce  at  S.  1 8  a  head;  gas  at  S.29  per  gallon;  and 
the  campus  wage  at  SI  .60  per  hour    For  the  72-73  school 
year  the  tuition  rose  to  S848  per  semester;  a  head  of 
lettuce  rose  to  $.20;  gas  had  risen  to  S.34  per  gallon;  the 
campus  wage  was  still  SI  .60  per  hour.  This  year,  tuition 
has  risen  to  S888.  Added  to  this  is  the  S40  minimum  per 
month  cafeteria  bill,  multiplied  by  7  months  of  school, 
which  equals  S280  +  S888.  This  year  we  also  have  the 
S7S  General  Fee  which  comes  out  of  the  S300  the  student 
pays  in  advance.  The  S75  General  Fee  is  a  relatively  new 
animal,  but  is  listed  in  the  catalog  as  paying  for  the 
Southern  Memories,  Student  Association  fees,  etc.  So 
the  student  is  conceivably  paying  S75  +  S280  +  S888 
which  equals  SI  243.  A  head  of  lettuce  costs  $.40  and 
you  can  usually  find  a  gallon  of  gas  for  $.40  if  you  look 
long  enough.  The  campus  wage  is  still  S1.60. 

Last  February  26,  1973,  Mr.  Charles  Fleming  appeared 
before  the  Student  Senate  and  discussed  the  $40  mini- 
mum rate  for  the  cafeteria.  It  was  mentioned  during  his 
visit  that  the  cost  of  education  at  SMC  was  continually 
rising  as  the  campus  wage  was  remaining  constant, 
which  in  effect  puts  the  student  between  "the  rock  and 
the  hard  place."  His  counsel  was  to  not  worry, Congress 
would  pass  the  minimum  wage  next  year.  One  senator 
noted  a  raise  in  the  minimum  wage  would  never  pass. 
Mr.  Fleming  disagreed  and  history  has  proved  him  correct. 
Congress  raised  the  minimum  wage  last  month,  but  our 
President  vetoed  it  a  week  later. 

Where  does  all  this  leave  the  student?  He  is  making 
the  same  $1 .60  per  hour  to  pay  for:  the  tuition,  which 
has  risen  from  $780  to  at  least  $963,  not  counting  the 
$40  minimum  cafeteria  fee;  a  head  of  lettuce  (and  other 
foods)  which  was  risen  from  $.1 8  a  head  to  $.40  a  head; 
a  gallon  of  gas  which  has  risen  from  $.30  a  gallon  to 
$.40. 

Not  a  great  deal  of  commentary  is  needed  to  get  the 
point  across.-by  "Moose"  Smith

"Brick  and  mortar  do  not  make  up 
a  school."  -Elder  J.H.  Whitehead, 
treasurer  of  the  Southern  Union 
Conference,  Monday  at  the  Student 
Center  ribbon-cutting. 

"Maybe  we  can  get  some  sort  of 
delivery  out  here  (in  Collegedale)." 
-John  Heath,  Collegedale  Postmaster, 
Thursday  at  his  appointment  ceremony. 


Dear  Editor: 

I  would  like  to  compliment  Mr 
Grange  and  the  staff  on  the  many  jm. 
provemenls  over  last  year's  cafeteria 
services,  I'm  sure  many  are  result  of 
the  better  facilities  of  the  new  kitchen 
But  it  does  appear  that  the  staff  is 
trying  harder. 

I  do  however,  have  a  couple  of 
complaints.  One  Sunday  afternoon 
on  my  way  to  a  ballgame,  1  was  not 
permitted  to  enter  the  dining  room 
because  of  my  clean,  plain,  but 
white  T-shirt.  The  gentleman  behind 
me  was  wearing  a  dirty,  faded  and  lorn 
blue  one  and  he  was  not  asked  to  leave' 
I  don't  see  the  logic  behind  this  petty 
rule  and  wish  something  could  be  done 
My  other  complaint,  more  imperative 
than  the  first,  concerns  the  amount  of 
food  served  that  is  deep-fat  fried. 
I  have  heard  many  people,  dorm  students  I 
village  students,  and  faculty  comment  on 
this.  1  always  thought  that  one  of  the 
main  reasons  for  not  serving  meat  in 
our  institutions  was  because  of  the 
excess  of  fats  in  the  meats.  If  we 
merely  replace  animal  fat  for  vegetable 
fat  we  have  accomplished  little.  1  hope 
maybe  some  small  changes  could  lake 
place  to  prepare  the  same  foods  other 
ways. 

Sincerely, 
Jim  Donaldson 


Road  condition 

Ed.  note-Last  Wednesday  we  pub-

between  Four  Corners  and  Summit. 
Tliursday  we  received  the  following 
news  release  from  the  Tennessee  House 
of  Representatives: 

"Our  rural  road  system  is  the  most

Rural  Road  Study  Committee  of  the 
House  of  Representatives. 

"Our  committee  is  going  to  try  to 
fmd  out  what  has  happened  to  the  rural 
roads  system  over  the  last  several  years 
It  does  no  good  for  our  farmers  to  raise 
the  best  cotton  and  soybeans  in  the 
South  If  they  can't  get  them  to  market  " 
the  mid-state  Democrat  continued.       ' 

The  committee  is  studying  the 
entire  problem  of  rural  roads  from 
funding  to  the  best  available  techniques 
and  materials  for  construction  and 
surfacing.  The  committee  report  will 
also  include  a  time  schedule  of  recom- 
mended improvements  with  cost  estimates 
and  recommendations  for  financing 

DePriest  stated,  "We're  going  to 
bring  Tennessee's  roads  out  of  the  bourse

Collegedale  police  force  - 
'not  a  Gestapo' 


Before  last  June,  when  Douglas  E. 
Keller  packed  his  family,  bags,  and 

i  years  of  police  experience  to  move 
here  from  Florida  to  become  College- 
dale's  new  city  manager  and  police 
[  chief,  the  community's  police  depart- 
I  ment  may  fairly  have  been  described 
I  as  less  than  a  moving  force. 

Back  then,  the  four  policemen 
I  provided  the  city  with  one  patrolman 
Ion  duty  each  shift,  issued  six  or  seven 
l-traffic  citations  monthly,  and  were  not 
Iburdened  with  much  complaint  work 
lin  the  peaceful  religious  hamlet. 

Keller  brought  a  shakeup,  or  crack- 
down as  some  residents  apparently 
think.  Today,  Collegedale's  police 
force  is  at  least  moving,  if  nothing  else. 

But  there  appears  to  be  something 
else. 

A  detective  bureau;  an  identification 
[department;  a  bureau  of  public  safety; 
and  relations;  a  bomb  demolition  team; 
two  additional  full-time  policemen, 
plus  Keller;  numerous  training  courses 
for  policemen  and  participatory  programs 
for  citizens  from  school  age  through 
adulthood;  a  volunteer  "reserve"  police 
force  which  worked  800  hours  in 
August— all  arc  among  the  things  Keller 
has  initiated. 

With  the  20-member  reserve, 
Collegedale  fields  four  men  in  two 
patrol  cruisers  around  the  clock.  Con-

centrating  on  traffic  violations  and 
attempting  to  reduce  accidcnis-the  city's 
worst  problems,  police  wrote  80 
traffic  citations  in  August. 

During  holidays,  six  patrolmen 
in  three  cruisers  prowl  the  town's 
23  square  miles  on  each  shift. 

And,  says  Keller,  town  residents 
who  before  did  not  call  the  police 
about  problems  are  now  calling.  "We're 
here  to  persuade  the  people  we  wanted 
to  serve  and  convince  them  we  are 
capable." 

Keller,  apparently  torn  between  en- 
thusiasm and  training  for  police  work 
and  trying  to  moderate  his  approach 
to  an  acceptable  pace  for  the  town's 
citizens,  indicates  some  have  been 
bewildered,  perhaps  disgruntled  with 
his  methods. 

"Some  people  have  called  to  complain 
and  seem  to  think  we're  running  a 
Gestapo,"  he  says,  "but  that's  not  true. 
We  simply  are  trying  to  do  our  job  and 
serve  the  city,  to  earn  our  pay." 

Referring  to  the  rise  in  the  number 
of  traffic  citations,  Keller  says  the 
force's  seven  officers  who  have  been 
certified  in  radar  proceedures  have  been 
instructed  to  give  violators  a  generous 
speeding  margin  before  issuing  a  ticket. 

"We're  not  nit-picking  and  when 
someone  gets  a  ticket,  they  really 
deserve  it,"  he  says.  "We  aim  to  give 
the  citizens  the  benefit  of  the  doubt 
and  a  warning  rather  than  a  citation 
if  it  appears  that  would  help  in  gaining 
public  confidence  and  respect." 

Furthermore,  reports  Keller,  primary 
emphasis  in  the  department  is  on  police

professionalism  and  courtesy. 

"We're  here  to  serve  in  the  police 
profession  rather  than  enforce,  and 
service  to  citizens  and  courtesy  are  the 
hallmarks  of  professionalism. 

"If  there  are  any  complaints  about 
an  officer  being  discourteous,"  says 
Keller,  "I  check  it  our  personally.  If 
it's  true,  I'm  going  to  fire  that  officer." 

Keller's  experience  spans  almost  all 
phases  of  operation  in  Fort  Lauderdale's 
metropolitan  police  force-from  patrol 
and  detective  work  to  public  relations, 
safety  training,  supervisory  and  academy 
instructor  work.  He  has  attended  and 
taught  seminars,  gone  through  several 
FBI  schools  and  is  a  certified  instructor 
for  the  National  Safety  Council's 
driving  programs. 

Training  in  these  areas  is  being  in- 
corporated into  Collegedale's  police 
department-mandatory  defensive 
driving  courses  for  policemen  and  city 
employees;  radar,  identification, 
weapons,  detective  and  patrol  work, 
arrest  procedures,  public  relations  and 
safety,  and  other  courses  are  being  re- 
quired not  for  fulltime  but  for  reserve 
officers. 

police  academies,  Keller  wants  to 
enroll  his  men.  If  the  courses  are  not 
offered,  he  gives  them  himself 

The  20  reserve  officers  who  worked 
800  hours  in  August  also  took  205 
course  hours  in  these  areas,  reports 
KeUer. 

"We  aren't  just  putting  men  in 
uniforms,"  he  emphasizes.  "We're 
training  them  before  they  get  their 
uniforms  and  while  they're  wearing 
them." 


For  students,  elementary  school 
youngsters  can  get  a  membership  card 
in  the  Junior  Safety  League  after 
completing  an  instruction  course  and 
can  have  their  bicycles  registered  and 
inspected  three  times  yearly. 

Police  Safety  League  membership 
for  teen-agers  follows  a  16-hour  traffic 
safety  course.  Other  courses  are,  or 
soon  will  be  available  for  college  students 
and  adults. 

Keller  says  Collegedale  has  seven  or 
eight  prowler  calls  monthly,  and  he 
worries  because  "prowlers  turn  into 
burglars  or  peeping  toms."  His  patrol- 
men keep  a  "door-shaking"  check  on 
businesses  from  dark  to  dawn,  but 
otherwise,  the  occasional  fight  or 
larceny  constitues  the  city's  crime. 

Perhaps  these  too  will  diminish 
with  Collegedale's  new  efforts.  If 
Keller  has  his  way,  they  will. 

"Collegedale  is  the  finest  city  in 
the  finest  state  in  America,"  says 
Keller,  "and  we're  going  to  work  to 
make  it  even  better.  That's  the  whole 
theory  behind  the  reorganized  force, 
to  prevent  crime  and  accidents."-by 
Hany  Austin

reading  on  the  secondary  level,  behav- 
ioral objectives,  and  curricula.

'Nature 

Nook' 

to  be 

used  as 

outside 

classroom 


On  the  south  side  of  the  Home 
Economics  Building,  also  known  as 
Summerour  Hall,  there  is  an  outdoor 
classroom  in  the  making.  The  project 
was  optimistically  slated  to  be  finished 
by  the  beginning  of  this  school  year, 
but  the  completion  date  has  been  moved 
forward,  and  work  is  continuing. 

The  "Nature  Nook,"  as  coined  by 
Mr.  Charles  Lacey,  superintendent  of 
the  Grounds  Department,  has  advanced 
beyond  the  blue-print  stage,  but  has 
recently  been  stalled.  With  a  skeleton 
summer  work-crew  and  the  flooding  of 
Sept.  13  which  completely  washed  away 
three  lawns  that  Grounds  was  working 
on,  Mr.  Lacey  has  not  had  time  to 
finish  the  project. 

To  date  the  ground  has  been  cleared, 
the  hill  terraced,  and  shrubbery  planted. 
The  split  logs  for  benches,  the  poles 
for  floodlights,  and  the  gravel  for  the 
terrances  are  all  ready  for  installment. 

Plans  began  last  year  for  this  outside 
classroom  when  Mr.  Lacey  wanted  to 
make  -the  ugliest  place  on  the  SMC 
campus"  into  something  useful.  In 
addition  to  what  has  been  done  already, 
he  plans  to  install  electrical  outlets 
for  a  projector  and  a  loudspeaker  system; 
there  will  also  be  a  blackboard,  a  podium, 
and  the  planting  of  an  evergreen  ■'screen  ' 
for  privacy. 

Once  the  classroom  is  completed,  it 
can  be  used  by  "the  Pathfinders,  any 
Sabbalh  School  class,  any  class  teacher, 
at  any  time  of  day  or  night,"  says  Mr. 
Ucey.  -by  Everett  Wahelmsen 


Student  Senate,  continued  from  page  1 

Each  senator  was  requested  to 
vote  for  23  students  from  a  list  of 
eligible  candidates  for  Who '^i  Who 
among  students  in  American  Universit.es 
and  Colleges. 

Senate  President  John  Smith  asked  the 
senators  for  approval  of  a  group  of 
informal  floor  rules.  They  were 
unanimously  approved  and  are  as 
follows: 

/    77icrc  are  certain  issues  in  which  it  is 
necessary  for  Senators  to  present  without 
address  by  the  Dean  or  other  administra- 
tive officers.  In  these  cases  affirmative 
and  negative  teams  will  he  assigned,  or 
elected.   The  affirmative  will  uphold  the 
subject,  the  negative  will  uphold  the 
status  quo.  For  instance,  in  the  subject- 
"Should  girls  be  allowed  to  wear  slacks 
in  the  Student  Center?",  the  pro  would 
hold-'Yes,  girls  should  be  allowed  to 
wear  slacks  in  the  Student  Center. '  The 
con  would  hold  'No  they  should  not. ' 

Senators  should  be  allowed  to  vol- 
unteer for  the  particular  side  they  wish, 
regarding  any  particular  issue.  If  no 
one  volunteers,  then  sides  should  be 
assigned  by  the  Chair  in  consultation 
with  the  parliamentarian.  This  can  be 
done  by  alphabetical  order,  precinct 
number,  or  any  systematic  way  the 
Senate  chooses. 

Assignment  of  presentation  will  be 
done  two  weeks  ahead  of  time.  For 
instance,  assignment  for  the  meeting  of 
October  1J>,  would  be  done  on  October  1. 
It  is  most  desirable  Senators  will  volunteer 
for  subjects  which  interest  them.  How- 
ever, it  is  also  necessary  we  view  each 
issue  as  open  minded  as  possible.   There 
will  be  times  when  an  unattractive 
subject  comes  for  discussion.  It  is 
foreseeable  at  these  times,  sides  could 
be  assigned  rather  than  elected.  As 
stated  before  though  assignment  would  be 
done  in  a  systematic  manner,  and  all 
would  eventually  have  active  part  in 
presentations. 

2.  The  pro  would  have  the  first  pres- 
entation.  This  would  involve  four  to 
to  seven  minutes.  The  con  would  follow 
with  the  same  time  limit  imposed.  After 
this,  the  floor  is  open  for  questions 
from  the  Senators  for  up  to  ten  minutes. 
If  needed,  this  time  limit  may  be  extend- 
ead 

edbya  majority  vote  of  the  Senators  to 
such  time  as  they  shall  deem  appropriate. 

After  the  Senators  questions,  there 
will  follow  an  additional  seven 
minutes  of  questions  from  the  non- 
Senate  visitors  present  if  desired.   This 
time  can  be  extended  once  for  five 
minutes  by  a  majority  vote  of  the 
Senators.  After  all  discussion  the  nega- 
tive will  close  with  a  three  to  five  minute 
summary.  Afterwards  the  pro  summar- 
ies will  come  to  a  vote. 

While  the  Senator  is  presenting  his 
case  he  may  not  be  interrupted  except 
by  the  Chair  or  Parliamentarian. 

During  discussion  it  is  to  be  kept  in 
mind  we  are  discussing  topics  and  not 


individuals.  Personalities  should  be 
avoided  at  all  cost,  and  all  questions 
or  comments  are  to  be  toward  the  subie 
at  hand.  ' 

3.  The  agenda  as  mentioned  above  shall 
be  published  24  hours  after  the  last 
previous  Senate  meeting. 

One  reason  for  this  is  to  give  those 
presenting  the  sides  of  the  issue  ample 
time  to  prepare  their  case.  If  other 
Senators  have  input  on  the  issue,  they 
should  relate  it  to  those  responsible  far 
presentation.  Another  reason  is  to 
give  the  Senators  ample  time  to  spe(^ 
to  their  constituents  &  measure  their 
interests  on  the  subject. 

These  items  placed  on  the  agenda 
would  desirably  be  specifically  stated 
by  the  Senators.  If  there  is  no  suggesHoi, 
from  the  Senate,  the  Chairman  in  consul- 
tation with  the  Parliamentarian  will  be 
left  to  decide. 

Subjects  not  on  the  agenda  will  not 
be  discussed  except  when  deemed 
vital,  and  then  only  in  a  limited  manner 
at  the  end  of  the  Senate  meeting. 

Any  visitor  who  wishes  to  address 
the  Senate  and  is  not  on  the  agenda 
will  be  allowed  time  at  the  close  of  the 
business  on  the  agenda.  If  this  is  past 
the  hour  designated  for  close  of  the 
meeting.  Senators  will  not  be  re- 
quired to  stay.  The  reason  for  this 
stipulation  is  to  discourage  unplanned 
items  arising  in  which  the  Senate  lias 
done  little  preparation  or  spoken  little 
to  their  constituents.    Visitors  are 
allowed  time  to  question  relative  to  the 
issue  under  paragraph  2. 

4.  Some  topics  will  not  relate  themscim 
to  the  pro/con  approach.   These  would  bt  \ 
instances  when  the  Senate  is  addressed 

by  various  metnbers  of  the  administra- 
tion on  topics  such  as,  "What  should  die 
school  do  with  the  available  secular 
chapel  time?"  etc.  In  these  cases  Sen- 
ators will  sometimes  be  expected  to 
take  polls  of  their  constituents,  engage 
in  rap  sessions,  etc.,  and  then  present 
their  findings  and  questions  after 
address  by  the  speaker. 

Under  these  new  rules,  two  of  Ihc 
five  issues  will  be  considered  at  the 
next  Senate  meeting.  They  will  be 
I )  Whether  the  yearbook  in  it's  prcsciil 
form  should  be  abolished,  (on  the  pro 
side  of  this  issue  will  be  Senators  Zimu 
and  Landcss,  and  on  the  con  side. 
Senators  Marsh  and  Palmer);  and  2) 
should  the  residents  of  the  women's 
residence  halls  be  penalized  for  laie 
minutes.  On  the  con  side  of  this  issue 
will  be  Senators  Fillman,  Lyics  and 
Zima,  and  on  Ihe  pro  side.  Senators 
Holland  and  Marctich. 

SA  treasurer  Dim  Bogar  presented 
to  Ihc  Senate,  Ihc  final  financial  stale- 
mcnt  for  last  school  year.  The  stalc- 
mcnl  was  unanimously  approved. 

The  meeting  was  adjourned  at

for  Senate  elections 


J  Note-The  following  article  is 
%enl  interview  with  with  John 
"  Smith  regarding  the  recent 
^  and  the  Student  Senate. 
1  /icceiil  's  questions  are  set 
Moose's  answers  are  set 
lingular  body  type. 

mur  opinion  as  Chairman  of 

tident  Senate,  how  did  the  elections 

L? 

|disappointed  actually,  but  as 

^t  myself  as  anyone  else. 
pBw  many  people  voted? 
Idbn'l  have  the  exact  figures  with 
IjiOw.  It  was  roughly  570, 1  think 
jut  the  figure  is  misleading. 

Ml,  there  are  approximately  1 135 
iii'tory  students  and  400  village 
Ijills.  Of  course,  all  my  figures  are 
jj  but  it  ends  up  with  a  30%  turn- 
Bfiunting  village  students,  and  a  50% 
pin  not  counting  village  s'udcnls. 
]/U  do  you  attribute  the  simll 

.:i  the  village  to? 
^n't  know.  I'm  a  village  student 
',  and  I  guess  1  am  typical.  Most 
Sits  who  live  in  the  village  are 
|d  and  older.  Most  have  children 
lbs  which  occupy  a  great  deal  of 

Jbbably  the  furthest  thing  from  their 
M  is  to  go  out  of  their  way  to  vote 
;  a  Senate  which  really  can't  do 
ich  lor  them. 

Another  problem  is  what  I  said  a 
nulc  ago,  having  the  polls  located  at 
loiivcnicnt  places.  I  could  kick  my- 
f  for  having  the  voting  in  Lynn  Wood 
ill.  That  was  my  mistake.  I  guess  it 
IS  a  good  place  a  few  years  ago  when 
irybody  had  classes  there.  We  had 
[here  last  year  loo,  and  so  I  just 
lowed  suit  and  decided  to  have  it 
Ire. 

In  the  future,  I'm  going  to  try 
Mething  different.  We'll  have 
ling  for  six  meals  in  the  cafeteria 
finning  at  breakfast  one  day  and 
ding  at  supper  the  next;  we'll  have 
both  nights  in  the  dorm,  and  the  last 
(lit  at  room  check:  the  last  day,  we'll 
'  to  SCI  up  a  booth  outside  the  Post 
Pice  for  village  students;  and  have  more 
blic  relations. 

Of  course,  these  are  tentative  plans 
d  will  liave  to  approved  by  the  Senate. 
Hven  though  there  was  a  50%  turn- 
It  in  the  dorms.   Were  you  disap- 
inted? 

Yes,  I  guess  1  was.  I  think  we  should 
!  able  to  get  a  70%  turnout  or  even 


higher.  And  we  probably  will  when  we 
make  it  less  of  a  hassle  to  vote. 

Now  that  the  elections  are  over  and 
we  have  a  Senate,  what  do  you  want 
todowitKit? 

Once  again,  1  think  we  have  to  be 
practical.  It's  important  to  me  that  the 
Senate  meetings  go  smooth.  The 
parliamentarian,  Steve  Jones,  and  1 
have  drawn  up  some  procedures  which 
I  think  would  help.  They  have  to  be 
approved  by  Senate  so  I  won't  go 
into  them.  Of  course,  if  the  Senate 
doesn't  want  to  use  them,  they  wouldn't 
work  anyway.  But  first  things  should 
be  taken  care  of  first. 

What  are  your  goals  for  Senate? 
I  do  have  definite  goals,  things  I 
would  like  to  see  happen.  But  I'm 
one.  What  do  the  students  want? 
That's  what  is  important,  and  that's 
the  beauty  of  the  Senate.  There  are 
many  things  coming  up.  Already  this 
year  we've  had  the  change  in  football, 
the  mixed  swimming  issue,  girls  slacks 
in  the  Student  Center,  &  other  matters 
in  which  the  Senate  could  have  had  a 
large  contribution  to  make.  One  big 
thing  this  year  is  the  "annual"issue. 
There  are  quite  a  few  Senators  interested 
in  doing  away  with  it.  That'll  be  coming 
up  soon.  Then  there's  late  minutes,  and 
TV  censorship.  I  imagine  there  will  be 
some  discussion  on  both  of  those  in  the 
first  couple  of  meetings. 

Do  you  have  particular  goals  of  your 
own? 

Yes  I  do.  1  want  to  make  it  a  very 
good  year. 

A  very  good  year?  Can  you  narrow 
it  down  to  any  specifics? 

1  could,  but  I  prefer  not  to.  If  my 
goals  and  directions  are  out  of  line  with 
the  majority  of  the  student  body,  then 
I'm  wrong.  I'd  rather  lead  the  way  they 
want  to  go  than  the  way  they  don't.  1 
will  say  this,  I'd  still  like  to  get  a 
train  signal  up,  before  one  of  us  gets 
killed    You  know  some  kids  from  Chat- 
tanooga did  get  killed  last  December. 
I  would  also  like  to  get  a  scholarship 
fund,  and  a  tutoring  program  started. 
I  would  also  like  to  do  something 
for  the  village  students,  and  I  think  if 
we  can  help  them,  then  they  will  be  more 
■  interested.  If  they're  more  interested 
then  they'll  take  part.  And  if  everyone 
takes  part,  we  can  make  SMC  a  better 
place  to  get  an  education.  And  that 
is  important.

Collegedale  receives 
new  Postmaster 


John  Heath  was  appointed  post- 
master of  the  city  of  Collegedale  Aug. 
25.  Mr.  Heath,  who  was  formerly 
officet-in-charge,  succeeded  Mrs. 
West,  who  resigned  last  November. 

Mr.  Heath  comes  to  Collegedale 
with  13  years'  service  in  the  postal 
service  in  the  Chattanooga  area.  He 
assumed  his  office  last  Oct.  30  at  a 
ceremony  at  the  post  office,  when  he 
received  his  certificate  from  Frank  C. 
Moore,  the  Sectional  Center  Manager  of 
the  U.S.  Postal  Service. 

Also  present  at  the  ceremony  were 
Collegedale  Mayor  Fred  Fuller,  R.C. 
Mills,  SMC  busmess  manager.  Dr. 
DeWitt  Bowen,  commissioner  of 
roads,  and  relatives  of  Mr.  Heath. 
The  appointment  was  announced  by 
Carl  C.  Ulsaker,  Regional  Postmaster 
General  for  the  Southern  Center. 


Heath  is  presently  conducting  a  , 
survey  into  the  possibiliy  of  installing 
a  curb  deliveiy  service  for  the  College- 
dale  area,  a  move  necessitated  by  inad- 
equate boxes  in  the  Collegedale  post 
office.  The  service  is  now  provided  by 
the  Ooltewah  postal  service. 

The  survey  is  to  decide  if  the  servkie 
would  be  a  city  delivery  or  a  rural 
delivery.  A  city  delivery  involves  a 
uniformed  postman  who  drives  a  postal 
vehicle;  a  rural  delivery,  instead,  involves 
a  postman  without  a  uniform  who 
drives  his  own  cat  and  is  able  to  sell 
stamps  and  money  orders.  The  survey 
is  designed  to  determine  the  number  of 
famUies  that  would  be  benefit  from  the 
service  . 

Mr.  Heath  lives  in  East  Brainard 
and  has  four  boys:  Perry,  Richard, 
Scott,  and  Steven,  -by  Bruce  Qosser

The  Southern  Accent 


Oct.  3,  1973 


O    Sailing 
lyceum 
scheduled 
for  Oct.  1 3 


On  October  13,  John  Biddle,  acclaim- 
ed as  "the  world's  foremost  yachting 
cinematograplier."  will  present  a  90 
minute  lecture-film  entitled  "A  Sail  for 
All  Seasons." 

This  program  will  lake  the  place  of 
the  originally  scheduled  program  on  the 
college  calendar.  Irv  Wermont's  "The 
Man  With  the  Computer  Mind." 

According  to  Mr.  Jan  Rushing,  co- 
ordinator of  the  1973-1974  Artist/ Ad- 
venture Scries,  the  film  will  cover  all 
kinds  of  sailing,  from  pleasure  to  racing. 
It  will  be  an  all  around  film  for  sailing 
during  all  four  seasons  of  the  year,  and 
at  all  places  in  the  world. 

Through  all  of  his  experiences,  it  was 
the  lure  of  the  sea  that  eventually  pre- 
dominated in  Biddies  life.  Years  of 
ocean  and  bay  sail  racing,  from  1946 
to  1956,  also  made  his  job  of  "road" 
salesman  seem  painfully  uninspiring. 
His  avocations  of  photography  and 
sailing  were  combined. 

He  filmed  a  yacht  race  to  Bermuda  in 
1956  while  a  crew  member  on  one  of 
the  entries.  From  this  material  came  his 
first  show  length  film  on  sailing  and  his 
career  as  a  sailing-film-lecturer  on 
sailing,  plus  numerous  short  films  for 
associations,  manufacturers,  and  tele- 
Tickets  for  the  John  Biddle  show, 
as  well  as  the  William  Wendom  program 
for  the  following  Saturday  night,  went 
on  sale  in  the  Student  Center  on  October 
1 .  On  October  4,  the  tickets  will  go  on 
sale  in  the  Campus  Shop. 

Holders  of  l.D.  cards  will  not  be 
charged  for  the  Biddle  program.  Prices 
for  those  not  having  l.D.  cards  will 
range  anywhere  from  $  1 .00  to  $2.00, 
depending  upon  where  the  seats  are 
located.

Three  SMC 
graduates 
hired  as 
B.S.  nursing 
instructors 

Southern  Missionary  College  has  I 
recently  employed  three  of  its  own  I 
graduates  in  the  B.S.  nursing  ptogiJ 

Miss  Bobbie  Piatt  graduated  froul

Spanish  students 
progress  at  own  rate 


Spanish  students  this  year  are  learn- 
ing with  a  new  programmed  approach 
developed  by  Mr.  Helmutt  Ott, 
assistant  professor  of  modern  languages. 
Instead  of  being  tied  down  by  the  slower 
students  or  struggling  to  keep  up,  a 
student  can  now  work  at  his  own  pace. 

Says  Mr.  Ott,  "The  student  is  the 
constant  factor.  The  time  and  the 
material  are  the  variables." 

To  provide  more  individual  attention, 
Mr.  Ott  has  divided  each  class  into  small 
study  groups  of  five  to  seven  students 
who  are  working  at  about  the  same  pace. 
He  says,  "We  need  real  situations  in 
which  real  people  talk." 

When  a  student  begins  a  lesson,  he 
goes  to  the  language  lab  for  three 
class  periods  for  individual  study  and 
practice.  He  meets  with  his  group 
the  fourth  class  period  for  additional 
practice  and  discussion  of  any  problems. 
During  the  fifth  class  period,  the  group 
meets  with  the  teacher  for  more  drilling 
and  some  final  explanations.  Then, 


if  they  feel  ready,  they  can  take  the 
test. 

In  order  for  a  student  to  go  on  to  the 
next  lesson,  he  must  get  an  A  or  95%  on 
the  test.  If  he  does  not,  he  may  re-take 
the  test  with  no  reflection  on  his  grade. 
The  test  includes  both  written  and  oral 
questions. 

Every  two  weeks,  the  entire  class 
meets  with  the  teacher,  at  which  time 
Spanish  culture  is  studied.  Faculty 
members  and  other  individuals  in  the 
community  are  invited  to  speak  and 
show  slides  or  movies. 

The  final  grade  will  be  based  on  the 
number  of  lessons  completed  by  the 
student.  If,  at  the  end  of  the  year,  the 
student  hasn't  finished  enough  lessons 
to  get  the  grade  he  desires,  arrangements 
can  be  made  for  him  to  continue  until 
he  has  finished,  Mr.  Ott  explains.

Fiaplain  Desrt^ond  Cummings  Jr.     (Photo  by  Doug  Faust) 


The  Nursing  Department  has  four 
new  teachers  in  its  Associate  degree 
program  this  year.  They  are  Mrs.  Janet 
Meyers.  Mrs.  Virginia  Martin,  Mrs.  Mary 
Lou  Cummings  and  Mrs.  Marie  Krall. 

Mrs.  Meyers  teaches  maternal  and 
child  care.  She  comes  to  SMC  from 
Illinois  Wesleyan  University,  Normal, 
111.,  where  she  was  a  nursing  teacher. 
She  holds  B.S.  and  Masters  degrees  from 
Loma  Linda  University. 

Mrs.  Martin  is  a  graduate  of  Union 
College.  Her  husband,  Roger,  graduated 
from  SMC  in  May  of  this  year.  She 
spent  the  last  three  years  teaching 
nursing  courses  at  Cleveland  Community 
College,  Cleveland,  Tenn. 

Mrs.  Cummings  is  the  wife  of  Eld. 
Des  Cummings,  Jr.,  the  SMC  chaplain. 
She  is  a  graduate  of  SMC  and  holds  a 
B.S.  degree  in  nursing. 

Mrs.  Krall  graduated  from  Columbia 
Union  College  with  a  B.S.  in  nursing. 
She  has  been  teaching  at  DaJton  Junior 
College,-  Dalton,  Ga.,  and  was  previously 
with  the  state  vocational  nursing  program. 
Her  husband  is  an  architectural  designer 
at  McKee's  bakery. 

Mrs.  Martin,  Mrs.  Cummings,  and 
Mrs.  Krall  will  all  be  teaching  in  the 
area  of  medical-surgical  nursing. 

The  Associate  degree  nursing  pro- 
gram at  SMC  now  has  20i4  full-time 
equivalent  teachers.  This  is  an  eight 
per  cent  increase  over  last  year's  19 
teachers.  The  numbei  of  students,  how- 
ever, has  risen  almost  20%,  from  158 
last  year  to  189  this  year.  This  year's 
sophomore  class  is  four  students  larger 
than  the  freshman  class  of  last  year, 
despite  a  high  freshman/sophomore 
dropout  rate  in  other  programs.

Softball  season 
nears  completion 


With  Softball  season  coming  to  a 
close  Chrispens  remains  undefeated  in 
fast  pitch  play  with  a  9-0  record. 
Chrispens  eliminated  the  other  fast 
pilch  teams  last  week  as  they  clinched 
the  fast  pitch  title  by  knocking  off 
Corbett  9-6  and  Cockrcll  4-2.  This 
leaves  Chrispens  with  three  remaining 
games  and  the  other  teams  with  at  least 
four  losses,  thereby  giving  Chrispens 
the  fast  pitch  title.  In  other  action  on 
the  fast  pilch  circuit  last  week  Spears 
ripped  Hale  7-3,  Cockrcll  whipped  Spears 
7-3,  Hale  shutout  Cockrcll  4-0,  Corbett 
downed  Spears  74,  and  Cockrcll  out- 
slugged  Corbett  11-6. 

Wiehn  lost  his  bid  for  an  unde- 
feated season  as  Okimi  downed  him 
10-6.  Wiehn  di3  rack  up  two  more  wins, 
though,  by  romping  Davis  19-5  and 
shelling  White  14-2.  In  other  slow 
pilch  action  Zollinger  nipped  Okimi 
25-22,  Okimi  coasted  by  White  29-8, 
Davis  beat  Okimi  14-5,  Zollinger 
took  two  games  from  Davis  12-1 1 
and  22-11,  and  Zollinger  won  his 
fourth  game  last  week  by  taking  a 
7-0  forfeit  from  White. 

Only  one  game  was  played  in  the 
women's  soflbail  league  last  week  as 
Walkins  defeated  Ledford  11-10. 
Watkins  started  the  scoring  in  the 
bottom  of  the  first  inning  with  three 
runs  on  four  hits.  Ledford  came  right 
back  in  the  lop  of  the  second  inning  to 
pull  ahead  with  four  runs  on  two  hits. 
Walkins  came  to  bat  swinging  in  the 
bottom  of  second,  collecting  six 
more  runs  on  five  hits  to  lead  after  two 
innings  9-4. 

In  the  third  inning  Ledford  cut  that 
lead  by  two  with  a  home  run  by  Lou 
Ledford  and  some  facy  base  stealing 
by  Nelda  Denton.  Watkins  went  score- 
less in  the  third  inning.  Ledford  put  the 
pressure  on  Watkins  by  scoring  four  more 
runs  in  the  top  of  the  fourth  and  last 
inning,  leaving  Watkins  one  run  behind. 
Walkins  tied  the  game  at  10-10  in  the 
bottom  of  the  fourth,  and  wi.th  no  outs 


and  one  on  base  Melody  Skorelz 
brought  in  the  winning  run  with  a  single 
to  left  center. 

The  men's  dub  golf  tournament 
was  held  Sunday  at  the  Moccasin  Bend

$1 7,000  goal  missed  by  $1 ,568.42; 
Taylor  blames  lack  of  student  participation 


As  the  money  poured  in,  it  became  clear  that  the  $17,000  goal  was  not  going  to  be  reached. 


$25,000 

gain 

expected 

in  SMC 
budget 

this  year 


Last  year  there  was  much  talk  of  slashed 
budgets  in  almost  every  department  of  the 
college.  Effort  toward  economy  and  reduc- 
tion of  expenses  was  taken,  wherever  poss- 
ible. And  despite  all  these  efforts,  the 
overall  operation  of  the  college  suffered 
a  loss  last  year  of  approximately  $222,000. 

In  the  area  of  instructional  supplies  alone, 
there  was  a  $27,000  overrun  of  a  projec- 
ted budget  of  $60,000. 

To  a  certain  degree,  the  loss  was  pre- 
dictable, i.e.,  the  tertiporary  cafeteria  oper- 
ation. However,  a  significant  amount  of 
it  can  be  directly  attributed  to  a  somewhat 
unpredictable  factor  -  enrollment. 

The  enrollment  last  year  remained  at  a 
level  roughly  equivalentto  the  enrollment 
of  the  previous  year.  But  the  budget  and 
expenses,  despite  certain  cutbacks,  incre- 
ased, thereby  creating  the  aforementioned 
loss. 

In  retrospect,  it  is  interestmg  to  note 
that  the  last  year  in  which  the  operation 
of  the  college  posted  a  gain  was  1970-71; 
It  amounted  to  $58,000.  During  the 
1971-72  year,  the  college  suffered  a  loss  of 
$148,000. 

This  year,  however,  is  a  different  picture. 
The  fuU  time  equivalency  (a  combination 
of  both  part  time  and  full  time  students  to 
equal  an  approximate  full  time  students) 
enrollment  increase  this  year  is  118  students. 

What  effect  will  this  increased  enroll- 
ment have  on  the  college  budget? 

According  to  College  Manager  R.C. 
Mills,  the  operation  of  the  college  should 
post  an  approximate  gain  of  $25,000  this 
year.  This  is  due  in  part,  of  course,  to  the 
enrollment  increase. 

In  conclusion.  Mills  responded  to  the 
recent  attack  of  the  wage  policy  of  the 
college  by  stating  that  the  minimum  wage 
wUI  be  increased  to  $1.90  per  hour  next 
semester.

slated  for 

Alumni 

Weekend 


For  the  first  time  in  15  years,  the  combined 
efforts  of  SMC  and  Collegedale  Acaderny 
ingathering  bands  failed  to  reach  the  set 
goal.  The  grand  total  of  this  year's  solicita- 
lionaddsupto$15,43!.58.     In  the  total 
effort,  more  than  600  students  and  faculty 
contacted  over  16,000  people  and  covered 
over  90  locations,  the  farthest  being 
Gatlinburg  and  Cherokee  and  the  closest 
being  Chattanooga. 

Last  year,  over  $  1 9,000  was  raised  and 
this  year's  goal  was  set  at  $17,000  for  the 
college,  Collegedale  Academy  and  Spalding 
Elementary  School,  and  a  combined  goal 
for  the  three  schools  and  the  Collegedale 
Church  was  set  at  $24,000. 

Many  of  the  locations  where  students 
canvassed  made  for  an  interesting  trip  in 
itself.  The  ten  bands  going  to  Oak  Ridge, 
sponsored  by  H.  H.  Kuhlman,  professor 
of  biology,  left  in  mid-morning  and  upon 
arrival  at  Oak  Ridge  toured  the  Museum 
of  Atomic  Energy,  then  began  their  can- 
vassing after  lunch. 

Other  trips  included  the  Atlanta  trip 
sponsored  by  E.  0.  Grundset,  associate 
professor  of  biology,  and  Rudolf  Aussner, 
associate  professor  of  modern  languages; 
and  trips  to  Signal  Mountain  under  Eld. 
Des  Cummings ,  Jr.,  college  chaplain,  and 
Lookout  Mountain,  under  Dr.  Marvin 
Robertson,  professor  of  music  and  Dr. 
Donald  Dick,  professor  of  speech. 

While  night  drew  on,  William  Taylor, 
director  of  college  relations,  drew  close 
to  the  hopeful  end  of  a  fast. 

Taylor  blamed  the  lack  of  student  partici- 
pation as  the  main  reason  the  $1 7,000  goal  was 
not  reached. 

Hot  chocolate,  hot  apple  cider,  apples, 
and  cookies  were  provided  so  that,  as 
Mr.  Taylor  put  it,  the  health  minded 
students  could,  at  best,  have  a  choice.

Adios  to  the  Yearbook? 

^    ,^-v  Over  the  past  few  years,  much  criticism  has  been  leveled  at  the

fiinaBl  for  the  Memories.  ,,.,..  t 

Slated  for  the  SA  Senate  meeting  of  October  1 5  is  the  issue  of 
putting  the  yearbook  to  lest. 

Before  any  rash  actions  be  taken  by  the  Senate,  the  AcceiU 
strongly  recommends  that  an  in-depth  study  be  given  into  the 
publications  of  both  the  Memories  and  the  Joker  to  see  what 
alternatives  are  feasible.  With  a  total  elimination  of  the  yearbook 
mav  come  many  resErets.  ..         ...         ,. 

The  Accent  recommends  a  solution  to  the  problem  which  would 
be  a  compromise  between  leaving  the  yearbook  as  it  now  is  and 
completely  throwing  it  out.  The  solution  would  entaU  a  total  re- 
vamping of  the  Memories  and  Joker  into  one  umted  publication 
which  would  come  out  in  a  hard-bound,  two-volume  set. 

With  the  increasing  enrolment,  there  is  evident  need  for  a  hard- 
bound version  of  the  Joker  that  would  not  be  rendered  lifeless  (as 
recent  Jokers  have  been)  by  mid-year  from  over-use. 

According  to  Memories  Editor  Harry  Haugen,  a  hard-bound 
volume  of  the  Joker  could  be  in  the  hands  of  the  students  by  the 
first  week  of  October.  The  fffst  volume,  with  a  creative  editor, 
could  be  more  than  just  a  Super  Joker.  Rather,  it  could  be  chromcle 
of  the  events  of  the  latter  portion  of  the  year,  whfch  was  not  covered 
in  the  previous  yearbook. 

The  second  volume  of  the  yearbook  would  be  much  the  same  as 
the  present  Memories,  and  would  tie  published  at  the  end  of  the 
second  semester.  Along  with  the  second  volume  would  also  be 
issued  a  covo-  to  keep  volumes  I  and  II  as  a  set. 

The  notable  differences  between  the  existing  situation,  and 
the  new  concept  of  publKation  would  be  a  unity  of  content, 
coverage  of  the  full  year  cycle  of  events,  and  an  end  to  the 
duplication  of  the  "mug  shots." 

All  this  could  be  done  for  the  same  (or  even  less  than)  the 
present  cost  of  both  publications. 

No  matter  what  course  of  action  the  Senate  decides  to  take, 
the  Accent  strongjy  suggests  that  the  editors  of  both  the  Joker 
and  the  Memories  be  assigned  the  duty  of  receiving  competetive 
bids  for  the  printing  costs. 

The  Senate  should  also  set  deadlines  on  these  publications 
from  which  the  editors  salaries  would  be  docked  proportionately 
to  the  lateness  of  the  delivery  (similar  to  the  system  used  to 
encourage  the  Accent  editor  to  publish  a  full  number  of  issues.) 

This  is  by  no  means  the  only  possible  solution,  but  is  is  an 
alternative  to  making  a  decision  which  might  be  regreted  in  the 
decades  to  come. 


^A  New  Song' 

The  majority  of  SMC  students  have  been  brought  up  in  a 
religious  atmosphere,  many  becoming  mured  to  the  Christian 
message  because  of  the  ritualistic  format  of  a  religious  service. 

A  sermon  in  music  was  presented  Sabbath  in  the  CoUegedale 
Church  that  was  a  refreshing  change  from  the  traditional  order  of 
formalism.  Elder  Gary  Patterson,  pastor,  and  Elder  C.L.  Brooks, 
Sabbath  School  secretary  for  the  Southern  Union,  along  with  the 
help  of  the  College  Chorale,  conducted  the  worship. 

Those  who  missed  the  worship  service  in  CoUegedale  missed 
a  fine  example  of  the  advice  given  in  Isaiah  42;10  -  "Sing  unto 
the  Lord  a  new  song."

Letters 


Dear  Editor, 

The  men  of  Talge  are  sure  glad  the 
Jokers  were  published  this  year.  We  ha. 
almost  lost  hope.  Asyou  know,  theJoitJ 
is  the  most  widley  read  magazine  i 
Hall. 

Wlien  the  publication  finally  appeared  I 
there  was  no  secret  in  the  circulation 
proceedures,  as  one  could  follow  the  trail 
of  empty  boxes  and  trash  left  behind,  Bgl 
as  we  poured  over  our  much  needed  reftj 
ence  manuals,  some  strange  things  appei 
We  found  that  several  names  had  been 
changed  to  protect  the  innocent.  Also 
wlien  1  opened  my  copy  the  two  middle  I 
pages  fell  out.  And,  1  hoped  phone  r 
would  have  been  included. 

I'm  not  trying  to  run  down  this  year's  I 
edition  of  the  Joker,  these  things  can  be  I 
expected  when  they  are  issued  so  shortly  I 
after  registration.  After,  all,  any  kind  of  I 
Joker  is  better  than  no  Joker  at  all. 

Sincerely,  I 
BiU  Taylor)

Orlando  campus 


Artist  Adventure  series 
juggled  but  intact 


The  Saturday  night  programs  as 
listed  for  Oct.  13  and  Oct.  20  in  the 
Calendar  of  Events  both  have  been 
changed. 

On  Oct.  1 3 ,  instead  of  Irv  Wermont's 
"The  Man  with  the  Computer  Mind," 
John  Biddle  will  present  his  film  and 
narrative,  "Yachts  Under  Sail."  Mr. 
Wermont  has  had  to  cancel  his  entire 
tour  for  this  year  because  of  illness. 

Mr.  Jan  Rushing,  co-ordinator  of  the 
1973-74  Artist  Adventure  Series, 
hopes  that  Mr.  Wermont  will  be  able  to 
present  his  program  next  year,  because 
"he  has  a  marvelous  command  of 
memory." 

Paul  Tripp,  who  was  scheduled  to 
present  his  "WiU  Rogers-U.S.A."  Oct.  20 
is  unable  to  keep  this  appointment. 
Because  of  problems  with  his  work  he  has 
also  been  forced  to  cancel  his  entire  tour 
for  this  year. 

Instead,  William  Windom,  well- 
known  humorist  and  actor,  will  present 
"Thurber,"  a  performance  on  the  life 
of  James  Thurber,  U.S.  humorous  writer 
and  artist.  Mr.  Windom  is  best  known 
for  his  performance  in  "My  World  and 
Welcome  to  It." 

Both  of  these  programs  will  be  in 
the  physical  education  center  at  8  p.m. 
For  I.D.  card  holders  there  is  no  charge 
for  the  John  Biddle  program. 
Tickets  for  non  card  holders  are  $  1 .00 
and  $2.00.  Prices  for  tickets  for  the 
■William  Windom  program  are  as  follows: 
I.D.  card  holders;  no  charge,  $  1 .00,

1 1  ■  A  program  iniated  by  Mrs.  Kathy 
I      Tiinson,  associate  chairman  of  the  B.S. 
nursing  program  on  the  Orlando  campus, 
has  now  been  adopted  for  use  by  the 
Florida  Hospital  in  Orlando. 

Five  years  ago  Mrs.  Hinson  felt  that 
a  class  in  natural  childbirth  was  needed. 
She  also  felt  that  fathers  should  be 
included  in  the  delivery  room  at  the 
time  of  the  births  of  their  children. 

Arrangements  were  made  with  the 
Rorida  Hospital  to  use  the  facilities 
to  teach  the  class.  Mrs.  Hinson  directed 
the  program,  but  the  actual  teaching 
w>s  done  by  the  junior  nursing  students. 

At  first  many  of  the  doctors  were 
unsure  of  the  merits  of  such  a  program, 
but  most  of  their  fears  were  soon  allev- 
iated. 

The  parents  who  attended  the 
classes  were  pleased,  and  told  their 
friends  about  the  program.  The  enrol- 
ment increased  until  the  class  had 
reached  its  present  size  of  250. 
The  hospital,  seeing  the  wide 
public  acceptance  and  popularity 
of  classes  Parent  Education  de- 
cided to  take  charge  of  the  program 
juid  establish  it  on  a  permanent 
basis.  Although  the  nursing  students 
ate  still  assisting  with  the  classes, 
two  hospital  staff  members  are 


managing  them. 

The  classes  are  six  weeks  long, 
and  start  every  two  months.  Both 
the  husband  and  wife  attend,  and 
the  instructors  teach  them  what  to 
expect  during  the  delivery.  Some  of 
doctors  are  now  coming  and  giving 
lectures  on  such  topics  as  anesthesia 
and  planned  parenthood. 

Mrs.  Hinson's  latest  innovation, 
based  on  the  concept  of  the  family 
as  a  whole  unit,  is  to  allow  children 
to  visit  their  mother  in  the  hospital 
shortly  after  delivery  and  see  their 
new  brothers  and  sisters.  This  is  still 
on  an  experimental  basis,  and  only 
the  families  participating  in  the 
program  are  allowed  to  take  advant- 
age of  these  benefits.

ventist  Nurse's  Association  and  the 
wife  of  Orlo  Gilbert,  assistant  professor

Kenneth  Spears,  dean  of  student 
affairs,  graduated  from  SMC  in  1 966 
and  completed  a  master  of  arts  in 
business  administration  at  Middle 
Tennessee  State  University,  Murfrees- 
boro,  Tenn.,  this  summer.  Before  his 
present  position  he  was  the  assistant 
business  manager  at  SMC.  He  and  his 
wife,  Mildred,  have  three  children.  Susan 
Steve,  and  Karen. 

Dr.  Kenneth  Burke,  assistant  profes- 
sor of  food  science,  graduated  from  SMC 
in  1959  with  a  B.S.  in  chemistry.  He 
received  a  master  in  education  degree

S.C..  and  took  a  traineership  in  bio- 
chemistry from  Vanderbilt  University, 
Nashville,  in  1968.  Dr.  Burke  came  to 
SMC  in  1972  after  his  position  as  a

nutrition  from  Rorida  State  University 
in  Tallahassee.  His  dissertation  is  on 
"Site  and  Effect  of  Protein  Nutriture

oftheDay  of  Atonement.  Previous 
to  teaching  at  SMC,  Eld.  Gladson  was 
the  pastor  of  the  Boulevard  SDA  Church 
in  Nashville.  He  and  his  wife,  Laura, 
have  two  daughters,  Joanna  Kaye,  and 
Paula  Ray. 

Duane  Houck,  assistant  professor

of  philosophy  degree  in  botany  en 
absentia  from  Iowa  State  University  in 
November.  He  graduated  from  Emman-

B.A.  in  biology  and  from  the  University 
of  North  Carolina  in  1956  with  a  master 
of  arts  degree  in  botany.

CARTA  neglected  in  Collegedale 


The  Chattanooga  Area  Regional 
Transportation  Authority  (CARTA)  has 
been  serving  Collegedale  for  one  month  as 
of  Tuesday  of  this  week,  but  it  appears 
that  few  residents  have  been  taking  ad- 
vantage of  the  new  serivce. 

Robert  Ronka,  assistant  general 
manager  of  CARTA,  says  of  the  Col- 
legedale run,  "Up  to  now  the  people  of 
Collegedale  have  been  enthusiastic,  and 
Iwe'd  like  them  to  show  this  by  being  our 
passengers."  He  is  quick  to  add  that 
since  this  Collegedale  route  is  new,  and 
because  the  oudying  areas  of  Chat- 
tanooga are  sparsely  populated,  he 
expects  it  will  take  time  to  build  up 
patronage. 

On  June  30,  1 97 1 ,  CARTA  officially 
came  into  being.  With  a  $3,698,743 
grant  from  the  Department  of 
Transportation,  and  bids  from  several 
surrounding  communities,  CARTA 
began  buying  transit  vehicles,  drawing 
up  plans,  and  painting  the  old  Southern 
Coach  Lines  buses.  On  Jan.  28.  1973, 
ISouthern  Coach  Lines  was  turned  over  to 
CARTA  and  the  new  service  began 
loperating.  Along  with  the  new  CARTA 
icame  a  "new  look:"  refreshing  blue  and 
Iwhite  "commuters";  colorful,  modern 


seating;  and  a  new  information  center, 
where  by  calling  266-0101  an  in- 
dividual can  complain  or  obtain  infor- 
mation. 

The  fare  for  the  Collegedale- 
Chattanooga  ride  is  50  cents,  and  the 
routing  Is  as  follows: 

OUTBOUND-CoUegedale  Shopping

Two  SMC 

music 

majors 

head  for 
Forest  Lake 


Two  senior  music  majors  Dennis 
Hunt  of  Berrien  Springs,  Mich.,  and 
Chervl  Berkeley  of  Collegedale,  have 
bee.  assigned  to  Forest  Lake  Academy 
as  s  uderu  leachers  this  semester,  accord- 
ing to  Dr- Stuart  Berkeley,  chairman  of 

the  Education  Department. 

They  are  participants  in  a  pilot 
program  which  would  send  students  as 
Sent  student  teachers  to  Adventist 
boarding  academies  throughout  the 

Southern  Union.  ^„,i„„„ 

The  two  students  will  leave  College- 
dale  immediately  following  mid-tcrrn 
examinations  and  will  reside  in  the  dormi- 
tories on  the  FLA  campus  until  the 
Christmas  holidays. 

Hunt  will  be  assisting  Mrs.  Patricia 
Silvers,  the  academy  band  director; 
Cheryl  will  assist  J.D.  Bledsoe,  key- 
board instructor.  Both  students  will 
serve  as  counselors  in  their  dormitories 
and  wUl  totally  involve  themselves  in  the 
boarding  school  program. 
I  Dr  LaVeta  Payne,  professor  of  education 
and  psychology,  and  an  unspecified 
faculty  member  of  the  Music  Depart- 
ment will  be  SMC's  supervising  teachers 
and  will  visit  FLA  periodically  to  advise 
the  two  students. 

"This  arrangement  represents  a  de- 
parture from  the  traditional  practice  of 
SMC  whereby  the  student  teachers  have 
been  assigned  to  area  schools,"  says  Dr. 
Berkeley.  "If  this  pilot  project  is  suc- 
cessful the  Education  Department  hopes 
to  assign  from  five  to  ten  elementary  and 
secondary  teachers  to  an  Adventist 
campus  which  will  serve  as  a  student 
teaching  center  for  a  particular 
semester," 

This  plan  is  being  followed  in 
other  Adventist  colleges  and  is  common 
in  public  colleges  and  universities. 
Encouragement  for  this  new  arrange- 
ment has  come  from  students  and  ed- 
ucational administrators  in  the  Southern 
Union  who  have  long  desired  that 
student  teachers  could  receive  directed 
experience  in  boarding  academies  and 
Adventist  multi-grade  schools. 

Final  action  on  the  plan  has  not  yet 
been  taken.

New  Sabbath  School 
system  gets  under  wq 


A  new  Sabbath  School  program,  des- 
ianed  to  involve  more  students  in  a  tnore 
p°ersonal  way,  was  begun  last  Sabbath  on 
the  SMC  campus.  The  one  large  Sabbath 
School  formerly  held  in  the  physical 
education  center  was  replaced  by  hree 
smaller  ones  held  in  Darnells  HaU    1 1 , 
Thatcher  hall  worship  room,  and  the 
Student  Center  auditorium. 

Each  Sabbath  Scliool  has  four  student 
superintendents  who  are  individually 
responsible  for  one  program  per  month. 
Though  all  Sabbath  Schools  have  the 
common  theme  "God's  Promises  and  How 
He  Honors  Tliem,"  the  weekly  program 
may  follow  a  more  specific  theme  chosen 
by  the  superintendent. 

About  70  people  attended  Daniells  HaU 
Sabbath  School  where  Superintendent 
Sandy  Davis,  a  freshman  from  Phoenix, 
Arizona,  began  with  song  service  accom- 
panied by  the  piano.  The  program  follow- 
ed the  usual  format  with  Scripture  and 
prayer,  a  mission  story,  and  special  music, 
and  ended  by  dividing  into  three  groups 
for  the  lesson  study. 

"The  main  thrust  if  my  Sabbath 
School  is  to  have  short  preliminaries  so 
we  can  get  down  to  the  important  part- 
the  lesson  study,"  says  Sandy.  "We  will 
follow  the  lesson  quarterly  temporarily, 
but  as  each  teacher  gets  to  know  his  _^ 
class  they  may  decide  what  to  study." 
All  teachers  are  students. 

Meanwhile  in  the  Student  Center, 
Superintendent  Jerry  Mobley,  a  sophomore 
from  Goldsboro,  N.  C,  opened  Sabbath 
School  with  the  lesson  study.  The  cube 
room  overflowed  its  capacity  forcing 
some  Sabbath  School  members  to  take 


their  cubes  and  move  into  the  main  loll 
Since  the  building  has  no  piano,  To] 
Mobley,  a  freshman  from  Goldsboro,)! 
used  Us  guitar  to  lead  song  service.  ' 
lack  of  a  piano  or  fixed  seating  providj 
a  relatively  informal  atmosphere.      1 

"These  Sabbath  Schools  are  stude  J 
oriented"  says  Robert  Warner,  assotiiif 
professor  of  industrial  education  andl 
year's  Sabbath  School  sponsor.  "Wei 
to  portray  God's  interest  in  our  dailyJ 
and  encourage  student  involvement  ii 
Sabbath  School  program." 

A  fourth  Sabbath  School  wUl  bekij 
in  the  physical  education  center  this« 
It  was  cancelled  last  week  due  to  Ta 
Show  preparations  in  the  building. 

When  asked  what  lesson  will  be  ijJ 
regularly,  Jerry  replied,  "We  will  be  si 
ing  both  the  quarterly  and  Steps  toCL 
hitting  the  highlights  of  each.  1  will  J 
a  general  discussion  for  the  quartetlyj 
divide  into  groups  of  ten  or  less  for  tlj 
Steps  to  Christ.  But  other  superintei/ 
may  want  to  study  the  same  material] 
differently."  Again,  all  teachers  are 
students. 

"Standing  Room  Only"  desctibesi 
situation  at  Thatcher  Hall.  Special  n 
and  a  mission  story  followed  song 
service,  and  Eld.  R.  D.  Francis,  assocal 
professor  of  religion,  completed  the 
program  with  a  general  lesson  studya 
stewardship.  Discussion  was  hesitauli 
first  but  grew  more  lively  as  the  lessoil

Report  of  the  Meeting 

of 
Board  of  Trustees 

October  1 ,  1973 


1.  The  McKee  Bakery  lease  was  considered 
and  adopted,  as  presented  by  Dr.  Frank 
Knittel,  from  the  College,  and  Ellsworth 
McKee,  president  of  the  McKee  Baking 
Company.  The  new  lease  provided  for  the 
sale  of  the  small  plot  of  ground  on  which 
part  of  the  facilities  of  Plant  No.  2  now 
stand,  and  also  called  for  a  continuation 
of  the  lease  which  the  McKee  Baking 
Company  now  has  in  relation  to  the 
buUiUng  and  grounds  occupied  by  Plant 
No.  1.  The  new  lease  calls  for  an  annu^ 
lease  fee  of  $110,000,  which  wUl  be  used 
to  defray  the  cost  of  new  buildings  recently 
constructed  on  the  campus. 
2.  The  Board  approved  an  initial  affirmative 
action  statement,  which  is  required  by  fed- 
eral law.  The  affirmative  action  statement 
declares  that  Souther  Missionary  College 
will  employ  people  without  regard  to  sex 
or  ethnic  origin.  The  law  does  permit  a 
parochial  coUege  to  select  its  employees 
from  the  membership  of  the  specific  church 
;hich  supports  the  college. 
3.  The  Board  voted  that  within  the  guideline 
as  established  by  the  General  Conference, 
Southern  Missionary  College  would  accept 


the  equivalent  of  no  more  than  five  per  cent 
of  its  operating  budget  from  any  govern- 
ment agencies  annually.  This  currently 
would  restrict  SMC  to  no  more  than  $150, 
000  a  year  for  operating  income  from  any 
government  agencies,  including  state  and 
federal  governments.  This  amount  is 
considerably  more  than  SMC  has  accepted 
in  the  past. 

4.  APersonnell  Committee  was  appointed 
by  the  Board,  and  the  work  of  this  comm- 
ittee will  be  to  study  in  depth  the  total 
campus  program  and  bring  recomendations 
to  the  Board  relating  to  various  feautres  of 
the  college  program  and  the  personnell 
involved.  It  will  be  the  task  of  this  comm- 
ittee to  study  the  entire  economic  picture 
of  the  college  and  to  report  to  the  Board 
any  recomendations  whereby  costs  can  be 
cut  without  injury  to  the  college  program. 
This  committee  will  make  a  cost  analysis  of 
all  the  academic  offerings  on  the  campus 
and  will  be  reporting  its  findings  to  the 
college  senate,  but  will  be  making  its  reco- 
mendations directly  to  the  Board.  The 
committee  is  comprised  of  the  following: 
Dr.  Wayne  VandeVere,  Dr.  Mitchell  Thiel, 


Dr.  Lawrence  Hanson,  Dr.  Tom  Zwemer, 
Dr.  Ben  Wygal,  Dr.  Frank  Knittel,  Dr. 
Cyril  Futcher,  Elder  Vernon  Becker,  Elder 
Robert  C.  Mills,  Mr.  Robert  Merchant. 

5.  The  Board  gave  initial  approval  for  the 
Business  Department  to  have  for  its  E.A. 
Anderson  summer  workshop,  a  program 
designed  primarily  for  pastors  of  larger 
churches  and  those  who  are  beginning  their 
careers  in  conference  treasurer  offices. 
The  workshop  will  feature  instrucion  in 
basic  management  skills,  church  finance, 
and  general  fiscal  accountability  and 
responsibility  for  church  leaders. 

6.  Dr.  Ray  Hefferlin  was  granted  a  summer 
service  leave  for  1974  for  research  and 
study.  . 

7.  The  1973-74  school  budget  was  approvea 
by  the  Board.  A  budget  for  the  current 
school  year  is  always  presented  to  the  Boaro 
early  in  the  school  year  after  the  actual 
enrollment  statistics  are  available.

(photo  by  Doug  Faust) 

The  residence  hall  forums,  being  held 
for  the  first  time  on  a  regularly  scheduled 
basis  this  year,  are  already  taking  shape 
as  vehicles  of  open  and  informal  com- 
munication between  faculty  and  students. 
Kenneth  Spears,  dean  of  student  affairs, 
and  President  Frank  Knittel  are  in  the 
residence  halls  during  worship  time  one 
night  every  month  to  conduct  question 
and  answer  sessions. 

The  purpose  of  the  forums  is  to 
deal  with  issues  concerning  campus  Ufe 
and  to  answer  any  questions.  Under- 
standing between  the  administration 
and  the  student  body  is  one  of  the  chief 
objectives,  with  care  being  taken  not  to 
discuss  individual  personalities. 

By  participating  in  the  forums  stu- 
dents are  given  a  chance  to  voice  their 
views  on  most  topics  and  possibly 
influence  changes  of  rules.  The  forums 
are  also  to  be  informationally  helpful 
to  the  student  body. 

Minimum  board,  telephones,  dress 
code,  and  late  minutes  have  been  the   ■ 
most  common  topics  discussed  so  far. 
The  fonim  schedule  is  printed  in  the

another  major  performer  for  an  appear- 
ance in  the  Dec.  8  program.  He  de-

but  no  definite  plans  have  been  made. 

Dr.  Christensen,  who  says  minerology 
is  taught  in  alternate  years  due  to  a 
limited  amount  of  interest,  recently 
acquired  a  cutting  and  polislung  machine 
which  is  a  great  asset  to  the  class.

Softball  season 
takes  final  swing 


Today  marks  the  end  of  the  softball 
season,  with  the  ALL-STAR  games  to  be 
played  tomorrow  evening.  Tlie  final 
statistics  will  be  in  next  week's  Accent. 

Chtispens  won  two  more  games  last 
week  to  make  liis  record  11-0.  Corbett  and 
Hale  fell  to  the  bats  of  Chrispens,  both 
by  the  score  of  7-3.  In  other  games  last 
week.  Spears  whipped  Cockrell  7-2, 
Corbett  ran  by  Cockrell  4-2,  and  Cockrell 
took  a  7-0  forfeit  from  Hale. 

Wiehn  ended  Ws  season  last  week  with 
an  1 1-1  record  givinR  him  the  slow  pitch 
title  this  year.  Wiehn  won  all  three  games 
he  played  last  week  as  he  out-slugged 
Zollinger  1 2-7,  shut  out  Davis  9-0,  and 
eased  by  Okimi  14-7.  In  other  games, 
WTiite  bombarded  Okimi  23-9  and  Okimi 
took  Davis  by  the  score  of  13-8. 

In  women's  softball  last  week,  Casil 
defeated  Watkins  10-7  and  the  Academy 
team  just  slipped  by  Ledford  12-11.  The 
game  between  Casil  and  the  Academy  will 
most  likely  determine  which  team  wins 
the  women's  league  title. 

Hawaiian  football  begins  Sunday  with 
both  men's  and  women's  teams.  Volley- 
ball will  also  start  on  Sunday  with  teams 
being  represented  by  dorm  sections  plus 
a  faculty  team  and  an  off-campus  team. 
Football  will  be  played  from  5:30-6:45 
p.m.  and  volleyball  will  be  played  from 
7:30-8:30  p.m.

Nursing 
Center- 

next  new 

building 

on  campus 


The  next  building  to  be  constructed 
at  SMC  will  likely  be  a  nursing  center, 
according  to  Charles  Fleming,  Jr.,  general 
manager  of  finance  and  development. 

SMC  has  about  400  nursing  students 
this  year,  is  operating  the  largest  nursmg 
school  in  Tennessee  and  is  0"^  ot  the 
few  in  the  United  States  to  offer  both 
the  A.S.  and  B.A.  degrees  in  nursing. 

To  accomodate  the  large  number  ol 
nursing  students  and  faculty,  this  build- 
ing will  include  offices  for  25  instructors, 
lecture  rooms,  seminar  rooms  and 
laboratories.  The  most  probable  site 
under  consideration  for  a  building  ot 
this  magnitude  is  just  south  ol  the 
parkinglot  of  McKee  Library. 

The  basic  hold-up  presently  in 
the  planning  and  construction  of  this 
nursing  center  is  that  it  is  not  yet  ade- 
quately financed.  Mr.  Fleming  stated 
that  SMC  is  within  $  1 ,000  of  ha«ng 
enough  funds  to  finance  the  budding 
without  having  to  borrow. 

A  definite  decision  concermng  the 
nursing  center  is  expect  to  be  reaphed 
at  the  Dec.  6  meeting  of  the  Board, 
by  Bev  Benchina 


New  plus  and  minus 
grading  system 
initiated 


Mid-semester  grades  should  appear  in 
dormitory  mailboxes  on  Oct.  24, 
iccording  to  Dr.  Arno  Kutzner,  director 
of  admissions  and  records. 

Teachers  are  being  issued  computer 
rosters  of  their  classes,  which  they 
must  return  with  grades  marked  in  by 
5:00  p.m.  Monday.  The  computer  will 
sort  the  grades  into  reports  to  students 
ind  parents,  and  print  them  inside 
imvelopes  for  distribution. 

The  envelopes  will  then  be  separated 
and  taken  to  the  dorms  and  post  office. 
Dormitory  students  will  receive 
grades  via  their  dormitory  mailboxes, 
and  village  students'  grades  will  be 
mailed  to  them. 

The  grades  are  expected  to  be 
processed  without  any  probems,  since 
Dr.  Kutzner's  office  is  using  the  same 
system  used  for  the  last  grade  report. 
Next  time,  however,  there  will  be 
a  small  change  in  the  procedure. 
Teachers  will  mark  grades  on  an  optical 
scanning  form  similar  to  those  used 
in  recording  chapel  attendence,  thus 
saving  one  more  step  in  the  process  and 
hopefully  decreasing  both  time  and 
errors. 

The  grades  themselves  will  look 
different  this  time.  For  the  first  time 
in  the  history  of  Southern  Missionary^ 
College,  letter  grades  will  include  "  +  " 
and  ' -  ". 

Calculating  one's  GPA  (grade  point 
average)  is  much  the  same  under  the 
new  svstem.  To  help  figure  GPA  (or 
ratlier,  what  it  would  have  been  with  a 
B  in  chemistry  instead  of  a  C,  since  the 
computer  does  it  automatically)  the 
following  table  indicates  how  many 
grade  points  each  letter  grade  is  worth. 


A  4.0  C-^  2.3      D-      0.7 

A-  3.7  C  2.0      F       0.0 

B+  3.3  C-  1.7 

B  3.0  Dt  1.3 

B-  2.7  D  1.0 

Assuming  a  student  had  the  following 
grades: 

B/3hrs      A/2hrs      B-/3hrs      C-f/4his 

A-/3hrs 
he  would  calculate  his  GPA  as  follows: 
Multiply  the  number  of  hours  in  each 
course  by  the  number  in  the  table 
above  showing  the  numerical  equivalent 
of  the  letter  grade  received.  Record 
the  resulting  numbers  under  a  column 
labeled  "Points."  Then  add  all  the 
'Points"  together,  and  divide  the 
resulting  sum  by  the  number  of  credit 
hours  taken  during  the  grading  period. 
The  result  is  the  student's  GPA.

Late  nninutes 

abolished  by 

Women's  Dorm  Council 

*-.;/  .«  Uy,  ■■»■  ijniir  rfxifipncp  hall 


Last  Thursday  the  Women'; 
Dormitory  Council  voted  unanimously 
10  abolish  late  minutes.  Under  the 
late  minute  policy,  women  dormitory 
residents  receiving  over  30  late  minutes 
per  semester  were  deprived  of  late 
leave  privileges.  Effective  last  Monday 
night  the  women  receive  no  cummula- 
tive  total  as  such,  but  instead,  are  asked 
to  sign  in  at  the  door  in  order  to 
save  time  for  the  resident  assistants  and 
the  women.  Closing  time  is  still  10:30 
p  m  and  women  who  habitually 
misuse  the  privilege  will  be  dealt  with 
individually.  Following  is  the  announce- 
ment made  to  the  Thatcher  and  Jones 
residents  from  Mrs.  Florence  Stuckey, 
dean  of  women;  . 

Minute  by  minute  bookeeping  oj 
your  late  entry  will  no  longer  be  at- 
tempted. However,  you  are  still  ex- 


pected to  be  in  your  residence  hall 
by  closing  time  each  evening  unless 
you  have  made  previous  arrangements 
to  be  out  later.  Any  late  entry  will  be 
noticed.   You  will  be  notified  when  the 
matter  needs  to  be  brought  to  your 
attention.   You  will  then  receive  a 
warning.  The  next  rime  you  create 
a  necessity  for  an  interview  concerning 
your  late  entry  you  will  forfeit  your 
late  leaves  for  two  weeks.  Continued 
delinquency  in  this  area  will  result  m 
further  disciplinary  action.  There  will 
be  times  when  a  late  entry  is  unavoidable. 
If  you  feel  that  you  have  a  good  reason 
for  not  being  in  your  residence  hall 
at  closing  time  please  talk  to  Dean 
Stuckey.  Jones  Hall  residents  will 
talk  to  Dean  Eldred

TV  Censorship 


Many  questions  have  been  raised  within  the  past  few 
weeks  concerning  the  matter  of  the  monitonng  of  the 
viewing  of  television  on  campus.  There  s«ms  to  be 
reason,  therefore,  for  some  explanation  of  th.s  action. 

Many  comments  concerning  the  relative  maturity  and 
judgment  of  college  students  have  been  made  in  support  ot 
leaving  students  to  their  own  judgment  as  to  what  they 
should  watch  on  the  campus  televisions.  1  would  be  the 
first  to  agree  that,  as  individuals,  coUege  students  should 
have  as  much  latitude  as  possible  in  making  personal 
decisions.  I  also  would  be  quick  to  add  that  the  personal 
habits  of  students  that  have  been  formed  prior  to  then- 
coming  to  college  are  basically  the  ones  which  jyill 
prevail  during  the  time  they  are  a  student.  Thus,  the 
student  who  has  been  an  indiscriminate  television  viewer 
prior  to  his  arrival  on  campus  is  probably  the  one  who 
cannot  see  the  point  in  having  someone  else  determine 
what  programs  he  should  now  watch. 

Television,  properly  used,  can  be  rewarding.  As  a  medium 
of  communication  it  has  no  equal.  But,  improperly  used, 
there  is  no  doubt  that  it  can  be,  and  perhaps  is,  the  most 
effective  tool  that  Satan  has  to  absorb  people's  time  and 
interest. 

Obviously  there  is  no  way  of  knowing  what  Mrs. 
White's  evaluation  of  television  viewing  per  se  would  be. 
However,  since  the  majority  of  the  programs  that  are 
viewed  on  television  are  of  an  entertaining  nature,  perhaps 
it  would  be  well  to  look  at  some  counsel  given  in  this 
area. 

Probably  no  one  would  question  the  fact  that  television 
programming  is  centered  around  excitement  and 
amusement.  Yet  we  find  such  statements  as:  "The 
desire  for  excitement  and  pleasing  entertainment  is  a 
temptation  and  a  snare  to  God's  people,  and  especially 
to  the  young."  "It  is  Satan's  policy  to  fill  the  mind  with 
a  desire  for  worldly  amusement  that  there  may  be  no  time 
for  the  question,  how  is  it  with  my  soul?"  {CT-325) 

To  say  that  we  should  have  no  television  on  campus  is 
an  attempt  to  take  the  easy  way  out.  (This  thought  passed 
through  my  mind  many  times.)  This  would  be,  to  some 
extent,  "throwing  the  baby  out  with  the  bath  water." 
There  is  much  produced  on  television  that  is  good,  ed- 
ucational and  rewarding.  There  is  that  which,  we  would 
all  agree,  is  not  proper  for  Christians  to  watch.  There 
are  also  a  host  of  programs  that  are  between  two  cate- 
gories. It  is  in  this  area  that  subjective  decisions  must  be 
made  as  some  of  these  would  be  permissable  to  watch 
whfle  others  would  be  offensive. 

Obviously,  when  judgmental  decisions  are  made,  every- 
one does  not  agree  that  they  are  right  and  proper. 
Nevertheless,  it  is  imperative  that  they  be  made.  They 
should  be  made  with  proper  consideration,  prayer  and  as 
much  knowledge  of  the  subject  as  possible.  When  such 
decisions  are  made,  those  who  wish  to  disagree  have  a 
perfect  right  to  do  so.  Hopefully,  these  protests  would 
be  made  in  the  right  way  and  in  the  spurit  of  constructive 
criticism.

We're  Sorry 

Last  week  an  Accent  reporter  wrote  that  the 
minimum  campus  wage  would  be  raised  to  $1.90 
per  hour  next  semester.  This  information  was 
incorrect.  The  campus  wage  probably  will  not 
be  changed  unless  Congress  raises  the  minimum 
wage  to  something  other  than  $1.60  per  hour. 
The  Accent  apologizes  for  this  error.

All  things 
are  possible 

In  class  last  week,  discussion  was 
centering  on  a  particular  problem.  In- 
deed the  problem  was  impressive,  but  I 
was  surprised  when  a  colleague  said, 
"Nobody  could  ever  do  that."  Since 
then,  I  have  been  pondering  what  it  is 
that  limits  our  ability  and  our  vision 
as  mortal  students  at  SMC.  First  of 
all  I  consider  we  are  granted  our 
abilities  and  time  by  the  Almighty. 
But,  He  has  left  these  responsibilities 
with  us,  so  to  speak.  President  Kennedy 
said,  "Here  on  this  earth,  God's 
work  must  truly  be  our  own."  As 
SMC  students  we  can  surely  buy  that. 
Virgil  said  "They  are  able  because 
they  think  they  are  able,"  Virgil, 
as  others  when  speaking  on  the  subject, 
failed  to  put  a  limit  on  age.  Neither 
did  they  put  a  limit  on  numbers. 

Martin  Luther,  a  single  young  monk, 
began  the  Protestant  Reformation. 
A  young  general  in  his  late  twenties, 
Alexander  the  Great,  extended  his 
empire  to  the  limits  of  almost  the 
world.  A  young  woman  in  her  early 
twenties,  Joan  of  Arc,  reclaimed  all  of 
France.  Thirty -two  year  old  Thomas 
Jefferson  declared  that  all  men  are 
created  equal.  And  need  we  forget  that 
Jesus  Christ,  in  his  early  thirties,  changed 
the  world.  All  I  have  mentioned  were 
young,  all  leaders.  All  began  alone.  Is 
there  any  limit  to  what  one  can  do? 
Yes,  but  some  of  the  world's  greatest 
movements  were  begun  by  one  person, 
one  young  person. 

Each  of  us  has  feared  failure.  Jesus 
feared  it  too.  And  risk  is  involved  in 
any  venture.  The  Apostle  Paul  spoke 
a  great  deal  of  love,  but  never  did  he 
guarantee  it  would  not  hurt.  I  tend 
to  believe,  though,  that  the  glory 
is  not  in  never  falling,  but  in  rising 
every  time  we  fall.  And  we  will  fall, 
because  we  are  fallible  humans.  However,  I 
will  we  let  fear  stop  progress?  Confucioui  | 
said  "It  is  better  to  light  one  small 
candle  than  to  curse  the  darkness." 
Robert  Kennedy  believed,  "the 
work  of  our  own  hands,  matched  to 
reason  and  principle,  will  determine  des- 
tiny." Are  we  not  determining  it  now? 

So,  I  doubt  the  veracity  of  a  state- 
ment "nobody  could  ever  do  that." 
Martin  Luther  did  it.  Joan  of  Arc 
did  it.  Thomas  Jefferson  did  it. 
We  can  do  it,  too,  in  our  life  time.

History  of  SMC  -  'The  School  of  His  Planning' 


.    wiiere  does  one  begin  to  tell  tlie 
Istory  of  the  growth  of  an  educational 
Pinstitution  which  has  grown  over  the 
past  eight  decades  from  23  students  to 
{veil  over  1500?  Certainly  the  emphasis 
cannot  be  placed  upon  the  quantity  of 
students  graduated,  because  the  school 
has  primarily  strived  for  the  quality  of 
character  in  its  students.  Let's 
start  at  the  chronological  beginning, 
back  in  1892.  In  this  year  a  church 
school  was  started  in  Graysville,  Tennes- 
see, A  small  classroom  was  rented  above 
the  general  store.  Twenty-three  students 
were  enrolled,  with  tuition  set  at  a  mere 
four  dollars  per  month. 

For  two  years  the  school  was  held 
in  the  room  above  the  store.  Then, 
when  it  was  moved  into  a  new  building, 
jt  became  known  as  Graysville  Academy. 
The  enrollment  was  65,  and  for  $100 
cash  and  working  1  'A  hours  per  day,  a 
student  could  pay  his  way  through  a 
school  year  in  Graysville. 

In  1896,  the  name  was  changed  to 
Southern  Industrial  School.  Then, 
five  years  later  it  was  changed  again  to 
Southern  Training  School. 

The  school  continued  growing,  and  by 
1916,  the  plant  facilities  had  almost 
outgrown  the  limited  acreage  available  in 
Graysville.  It  was  decided  to  relocate 
the  school,  and  after  much  deliberation, 
a  suitable  location  was  found  at  what 
was  then  known  as  Thatcher's  Switch 
(referring  to  the  switch  on  the  nearby 
railroad).  The  land  was  on  a  farm  owned 
by  Jim  Thatcher,  and  the  name  College- 
dale  was  given  to  the  community  that 
was  anticipated  to  grow  in  the  valley. 

With  the  relocating  to  the  new 
location,  the  name  Southern  Junior 
College  was  given  the  school. 

Crude  buildings  began  to  appear  on 
the  school  grounds.  The  first  permanent 
building  to  be  built  on  the  grounds 
after  the  opening  of  school  was  the  store. 
The  living  conditions  for  the  students 
weie  unsuitable,  but  more  and  more 
students  were  asking  for  admission. 
Things  back  in  1916  were  quite 
different  than  today.  For  instance,  the 


first  New  Year's  Eve  at  Southern 
Junior  College  was  celebrated  by  six 
girls  quietly  sneaking  out  of  bed.  They 
ate  a  small  snack  in  one  of  the  girl's 
rooms,  and  then  just  as  quietly  returned 
to  bed.  Some  time  later  the  faculty 
heard  of  the  celebration,  and  the 
girls  were  suspended  from  school. 

One  cold  winter  night  a  young  damsel 
slipped  in  the  snow  as  she  was  walking 
to  her  night  work  shift  at  the  print  shop. 
For  this  misdemeanor  the  girl  was 
campus  bound. 

And  incidentally,  back  in  1916,  no 
faculty  member  owned  a  car. 

In  1917,  Maude  Jones  Hall  was 
built.  It  still  stands  today  as  one  of  the 
women's  dormitories.  Originally,  it 
was  built  to  be  used  as  a  men's  dormitory, 
but  women  were  the  first  to  occupy  it. 
Later,  however,  it  did  become  a  men's 
dormitory,  but  several  years  later  it  was 
given  back  to  the  women.  When  it  was 
built,  the  porch  of  Jones  Hall  had  loose 
boards  which  would  fiy  up  when  a 
person  stepped  on  them. 

Only  crude,  dirt  roads  led  into 
CoUegedale.  Students  who  wanted  to 
do  any  shopping  in  Chattanooga  had  to 
catch  a  train  at  Thatcher's  Switch  at 
9:00  a.m.  They  would  return  from  town 
at  6.00  p.m. 

The  college  has  suffered  severe  finan- 
cial pressures.  In  1922,  the  budget  for 
the  coming  year  was  S4,000  more  than 
the  funds  available.  The  Board  of 
Trustees  felt  that  the  school  could  only 
be  shut  down,  but  just  before  the  chair- 
man of  the  board  called  for  a  vote. 
President  Lynn  H.  Wood  asked  to  meet 
with  the  faculty.  At  the  faculty  meeting, 
the  faculty  donated  the  S4,000  out  of 
their  salaries.  The  business  manager 
offered  to  work  for  nothing  if  only 
gasoline  would  be  supplied  in  order  for 
him  to  get  to  and  from  Chattanooga  to 
carry  on  the  college's  business.  Teachers 
without  families  volunteered  to  work  for 
half-pay. 

Time  passed  and  the  enrollment 
continued  to  increase.  In  1923,  the 
General  Conference  voted  to  give  $25000 


toward  the  building  of  an  administration 
building.  The  building  was  to  cost 
$70,000,  but  the  first  shovel  of  earth 
was  turned  without  knowing  where 
the  remaining  $45,000  was  to  come 
from.  The  building  was  named  Lynn 
Wood  Hall,  in  remembrance  of  the 
devotion  of  the  college's  second 
president. 

Southern  Junior  College  continued 
growing  at  a  rapid  rate,  and  the  time 
came  for  enlarging  the  college  to  the 
status  of  a  four-year  institution.  In 
1944,  the  General  Conference 
approved  the  request  of  the  Southern 
Union  Conference  to  raise  the  school's 
status  to  that  of  a  sixteen-grade  insti- 
tution. 

Along  with  the  change  in  status 
came  a  change  in  name.  The  new  name 
for  the  institution  was  Southern 
Missionary  College.  It  was  announced 
then  that  the  new  name  was  "a  grand 
name,  a  descriptive  symbol  of  an  in- 
stitution dedicated  to  the  training 
of  workers  for  God-Southern 
Missionary  College-a  missionary, 
one  sent  forth  to  preach  the  gospel, 
the  first  duty  of  every  Christian. 
Many  will  go  to  foreign  lands,  but  all 
may  be  missionaries  in  whatever  calling 
they  pursue." 

In  May,  1 946,  a  class  of  six  students 
participated  in  the  first  graduation  of 
the  senior  college. 

As  time  passed,  it  became  apparent 
that  the  college  needed  to  be  accredited. 
Accredation  would  permit  pre-medical 
students  to  take  all  their  work  at  SMC 
before  entering  the  medical  college  at 
Loma  Linda.  It  would  also  make  it 
possible  for  graduates  to  receive  teacher 
certification.  Students  could  also 
continue  to  study  in  graduate  schools 
after  graduafing  from  SMC. 

The  application  for  accredation  was 
preceded  by  seven  years  of  planning 
and  building  at  the  college.  During 
these  years  of  preparation,  several 
faculty  members  earned  doctorate 
degrees,  and  the  library,  science  building, 
and  music  hall  were  erected.  It  was 


during  this  period  that  the  college 
progressed  at  a  more  rapid  tempo  than 
at  any  other  period  in  its  history. 

Southern  Missionary  College  was 
accredited  in  1950  upon  its  first 
application. 

During  1961  and  1962,  Southern 
Missionary  College  conducted  a  self-study 
program  in  co-operation  with  the 
Southern  Association  of  Colleges  and 
Schools,  the  accrediting  agency  of  which 
SMC  is  a  member.  Dr.  K.M.  Kennedy 
directed  the  study. 

The  self-study  was  designed  by  the 
Southern  Association  to  aid  colleges 
in  taking  a  systematic  look  at  their 
past,  present,  and  future  plans. 

The  Southern  Association  re-affirmed 
the  accredaUon  of  the  college.  Also, 
the  Nursing  League  for  Nursing  extended 
recognition  with  full  accredation  to 
SMC's  department  of  nursing,  the 
highest  a  division  of  nursing  can  receive. 

Two  years  ago  (1971-72),  SMC  was 
up  again  for  re-accreditation.  A  self- 
study  of  the  college  was  directed  by 
Dr.  Melvin  Campbell.  The  institution  was 
once  again  fully  accredited  by  the 
Southern  Association.  Every  10  years 
the  college  will  have  to  be  re-accredited~ 
the  next  time  being  in  1982. 

Today,  Southern  Missionary 
College  is  one  of  the  foremost 
Seventh-day  Adventist  colleges. 
Enrollment  figures  this  year  have 
broken  all  previous  records. 

But  as  the  college  grows  larger, 
sending  more  and  more  graduates 
around  the  world,  too  often  the  humble 
history  of  SMC  is  overlooked.  It  is 
necessary  to  look  in  the  past  to  under- 
stand the  present  and  to  acess  the  future. 
The  college  is  what  it  is  today  because 
of  what  it  was  yesterday.  The  history 
of  the  college  assures  one  that  "We 
have  nothing  to  fear  for  the  future, 
except  as  we  shall  forget  the  way  the 
Lord  has  led  us."  (Testimonies  to 
Ministers,  p.  31- j

Nicaragua 
to  be  recipient  of 
Vesper  offering 

The  Nicaragua  mission  project  will  be  the  recipient  of 
Friday  night's  special  offering  to  be  given  by  the  students  and 
alumni  of  Southern  Missionary  College. 

The  annual  operating  budget  for  the  project  is  $12,000, 
according  to  Mr.  Rudolf  Aussner,  faculty  sponsor  of  student 
missions. 

When  asked  how  much  the  missions  committee  expected 
from  this  offering,  Mr.  Aussner  declined  to  state  any  figures. 
However,  he  reiterated  that  the  income  needed  is  a  substantial 
amount,  and  added,  "We  don't  refuse  any  donations!" 

Dawan  Pleska,  the  two-year-old  mission  station  in  Francia 
Sirpi,  originated  with  the  students  and  alumni  of  SMC.  It  has 
been  staffed  and  financed  by  them,  also.

NICARAGUA 

Elder  Aussner  addressed  the  Senate 
regarding  the  Nicaragua  project.  He 
pointed  out  that  the  project  was  begun 
by  SMC  students  and  that  without 
SMC  students  the  project  would  fall 
through  due  to  lack  of  personnel  and 
lack  of  finances.  He  cited  a  need  for 
new  buildings,  medicines,  and  a  jeep. 
He  also  explained  that  students  who 
spend  time  in  Nicaragua  receive  no 
financial  assistance,  no  college  credit, 
and  even  have  to  pay  their  own  traveling 
expenses.  He  said,  "  I  believe. ..it  should 
be  possible  to  raise,  somehow,  $1,000  a 
month." 


NEXT  MEETING 

The  Senate  will  be  taking  action  on 
his  request  at  the  Senate  meeting  of 
November  12.

Cross  Country  Run 
to  be  held  Oct.  21 

Weigand  hopes  to  place  in  top  ten 


Heinz  Wiegand,  a  "70  graduate  of 
SMC,  likes  to  run  10  to  15  mUes  a  day. 
Wiegand  first  became  interested  in 
track  after  he  was  drafted  in  March  of 
1971  and  was  stationed  at  Walter  Reed 
Army  Hospital  in  the  Washington  D.C. 
area. 

While  on  active  duty  at  Walter  Reed. 
Wiegand  joined  the  D.C.  Roadrunner 
Track  Club,  which  is  set  up  to  bring 
about  competition  amonst  the  450 
members  of  tlie  club.  In  April  of  1972 
Wiegand  took  part  in  the  well-known 
Boston  Marathon,  a  26.2  mile  race  in 
wliich  more  than  1 ,200  athletes  took 
part,  and  placed  1 17. 

Wliile  stationed  at  Fort  Detrick  in 
the  fall  of  '72  Wiegand  won  four  first 
places  at  the  First  Army  Track  and  Field 
Competition  at  Fort  Ritchie.  Wiegand 
ran  times  of  15:35  in  the  three  mile 
run,  9:56  in  the  two  mile  run,  4:35 
in  the  one  mile  run,  and  33:1 1  in  the 
six  mile  run. 

In  February  of  1973  Wiegand  placed 
third  among  237  entries  in  the 
Washington's  Birthday  Marathon  at 
Beltsville,  Maryland.  There  were  170 
finishers.  The  24-year-old  Wiegand 
posted  a  time  of  2  hours  28  minutes  and 
51  seconds  for  the  26  mile  385  yard 
course,  which  makes  three  loops  through 
farmlands  and  rolling  hills  of  the  National 
Agricultural  Research  Center. 

Today  Heinz  Wiegand  lives  in  College- 
dale,  Tennessee.  Wiegand  averages 
70-100  miles  a  week  every  1 2  weeks, 
then  rests  a  week  and  tlien  returns  to 
running. 

Wiegand  hopes  to  place  within  the 
top  10  finishes  during  the  News- 
Free  Press  Cross-Country  Run  to  be 
held  on  the  SMC  campus  this  Sunday, 
October  31.  Next  year  Wiegand  plans 
to  run  the  National  50  mile  champ- 
ionsliip  race  in  New  York  City.  The 
top  three  go  to  London,  England  to 
get  the  dubious  pleasure  of  running 
the  European  double  marathon  champ- 
ionship .(52  miles).  Wiegand  also  plans 
on  running  in  the  1976  Olympic  Trails 
Marathon. 

"I  jun  for  health,  daily  challenge, 
enjoyment,  gain  a  hearing  to  witness 
for, Christ,  and  the  serenity  running 
gives  me  (especially  the  good  shower 
afterwards),"  Wiegand  says. 

Phil  Castleberg,  a  former  SMC  stu- 
dent and  friend  of  Wiegand,  is  being 
sponsored  by  the  American  Heart 
Associafion  on  a  2,900  mile  jog  across 
the  U.S.A.  (from  Seattle,  Washington,  to 
Delaware  Bay)  next  summer  to  help 
raise  funds  for  the  March  of  Dimes, 
promote  health,  and  be  a  positive 
witness  for  Christ. 

This  First  Annual  News-Free  Press 
Cross  Country  Run  starts  at  2  p.m., 
October  21st,  at  the  gym  of  SMC. 
There  will  be  a  six  mile  run,  a  one  mile

Softball  season  came  to  an  end 
last  week  with  Chrispens  losing  his 
last  game  of  the  season  to  Spears  by 
the  score  of  2-1 .  Chrispens  came  back 
the  next  niglit,  however,  to  whip  the 
All-Stars  by  the  score  of  9-1 .  In 
other  regular  season  play  last  week 
Corbett  knocked  off  Cockrell  4-1 , 
Spears  battled  to  a  3-3  fie  with  Hale, 
and  Hale  took  a  7-0  forfeit  from  Corbett. 

Only  one  game  was  played  last  week 
in  men's  slow  pitch  as  Davis  slipped  by 
Zollinger  8-7. 

There  were  no  games  played  in  the 
women's  Softball  league  last  week. 
A  game  between  Casil  and-the  Academy 
may  be  played  soon  to  determine  the 
wirmer  of  the  league. 

Hawaiian  football  starts  today  in- 
stead of  Sunday,  as  earlier  scheduled. 
According  to  the  last  report  there 
will  not  be  a  women's  football 
league,  due  to  lack  of  interest. 
The  women's  volleyball  league  hopes 
to  start  its  season  this  week.  Men's 
voDeyball  has  not  materialized  yet, 
since  the  Hawaiian  football  season  is 
taking  a  slow  start.  Further  details 
on  football  and  volleyball  will  appear 
in  next  week's  issue  of  the  Accent 

Plans  are  still  under  way  for  a  cross- 
country run  on  Sunday,  to  be  sponsored 
by  the  Chattanooga  News  free  Press 
and  Chattanooga  Track  Club  Inc. 
Details  on  this  event  are  printed  in 
another  part  of  this  issue.

•          Lincoln  library  collection 
._, .  ;*omo       imanvvolumes,  especial 


I     Last  August  Dr.  Vernon  Thomas, 
aSeventh-day  Adventist  physician 
living  in  Texas,  presented  McKee  library 
with  a  gift  of  50,000  books,  including 
two  very  valuable  historical  collections. 

biitial  contact  was  made  with  Dr. 
Thomas  when  the  college  learned  he  had 
a  Civil  War  collection  consisting  of 
hundreds  of  books  and  many  periodicals 
as  well  as  hand-written  letters,  news- 
Pa[>ers,  and  other  materials  covering  the 
Chril  War  period. 

As  negotiations  for  the  Civil  War 
collection  were  underway,  Dr.  Thomas 
informed  the  college  that  he  had  iii 
previous  years  acquired  a  very  signifi- 
cant collection  of  Abraham  Lincoln 
memorabilia  from  Mr.  John  W.  Fling 
«.  in  Illinois. 

Included  in  the  collection  are  some 
non-library  materials  such  as  cancelled 
checks  of  Presidents  Lincoln  and  Madison, 
photographs  by  Brady,  the  official 
1  government  photgrapher  during  the 
Civa  War,  and  protraits  of  Lincoln. 
In  addition  to  the  Civil  War  and 
Lincoln  collections,  Dr.  Thomas  had 
f!O,00O  or  more  volumes  of  important 
ubraiy  materials,  including  a  J  ,000- 
volume  collection  of  Ozark  history 
Mid  a  substantial  number  of  current 
TOiunes  on  art.  Also  included  in  his 
iioldings  is  a  10,000-piece  record 

Many  of  the  materials  which  Dr. 
inomas  accumulated  for  his  rare 
uorary  were  purchased  by  him,  al- 
yoBgh  some  of  the  materials  had  been 
Oonated  by  people  who  knew  of  his 
™erest  in  Civil  War  history .  , 

j*.  Thomas  has  constantly  expressed 
"*!sire  to  have  his  libnary  material 
MC  for  study,  research  and  general 
id  it  is  considered  a  signal  honor 
IC  have  been  selected  as  the 
!nt  for  his  collection. 


SMC  was  a  logical  site  for  this 
coBection  due  to  its  location  in  the 
heart  of  Civil  War  country.  Another 
factor  in  its  favor  is  the  fact  that  SMC 
had  a  specific  plan  which  was  presented 
to  Dr.  Thomas  for  the  housmg  ot  his 
materials.  This  consisted  of  utilEing 
the  penthouse-the  third  floor  of  the 
Ubriry-as  a  special  facUity  to  house 
,the  coUection,  enabling  the  coUection 
■jto  be  totally  encapsulated  withm  its 

l°"p^fof  the  library  material  from  Dr 
Thomas  has  arrived  on  campus  and  within 
the  next  two  weeks  the  remainder  is 
«pS  to  arrive    The  present  matenal 
is  now  being  sorted,  classified  and 
faSted.  It  will  take  severa^  months 
to  classify  the  matenal  and  made  it

National  Politics 
felt  at  SMC 

In  the  last  two  weeks  Americans  have  ol«erved  momentous 
events  at  the  highest  levels  of  government.  Tliese  even  s 
have  a  great  del  of  relevance  and  wUI  be  monumental  m 
deteSg  the  course  of  our  lives.  Buy  why  should  anyone 
2ltat«S?ld  in  what  has  happened?  wfrv  ?hould  anyone  be 
more  concerned  with  the  resignation  of  Sp™  Amew  than 
Se  National  League  Playoffs?  There  are  probably  those  who 
stUl  think  AichiOald  Cox  is  a  name  brand  of  clothes, 
Elliot  Richardson  is  Secretaij-  of  Health,  Education,  and 
Welfare;  and  William  Ruckelhaus  is  a  building  in  Manhattan. 
Does  it  matter  who  these  people  are?  If  you  ve  ever  read 
political  novels,  you  will  agree  this  entire  sordid  attair 
resembles  one.  Let  us  consider  why  these  events  and  people 
are  important  to  students  at  SMC. 

The  Nixon  admuiistration  has  had  much  to  say,  and 
much  to  do  in  regard  to  education.  Loans  have  grown  harder 
to  come  by;  grante  are  more  scarce;  the  minimum  wage  raise 
was  vetoed  by  the  President.  Therefore,  we  are  earmng  less 
money  to  pay  for  the  rising  costs  of  college  and  the  nsmg 
costs  of  food.  1  discovered  this  summer  cases  where  students 
were  being  forced  to  drop  out  of  school  because  their 
educational  grants  were  being  discontinued.  So  as  students, 
especially,  we  wlio  depend  on  our  own  income  to  pay  for 
the  costs  of  college,  we  are  being  direcdy  affected  by  the 
shake-up  in  the  Nixon  administration. 

There  has  been  a  higher  turn-over  rate  in  the  Nixon  staff 
and  cabinet  than  that  of  Franklin  Roosevelt.  FDR  was  in 
office  for  over  twelve  years.  Daniel  Schur  of  CBS  News 
mentioned  Saturday  night  that  there  have  been  five  Attorney 
Generals  in  the  last  eighteen  months.  Never  in  the  history  of 
our  nation  has  a  Vice-President  resigned  under  threat  of 
criminal  indictment.  Nixon's  former  staff  members  have 
been  indicted  for  many  different  crimes  -  perjury,  burglanf, 
extortion,  bribery,  etc.  If  nothing  else  this  comment  on  the 
Ftesident's  ability  to  judge  character  or  else  his  taste  in 
character.  So  we're  faced  with  a  food  shortage,  a  rismg  cost 
of  living,  an  empty  Vice-President's  office,  and  possible 
impeachment  procedures,  in  fact,  the  call  for  impeachment 
has  been  sounded  by  democrat  and  republican.  AU  these 
variables  have,  and  will  affect  the  President's  abDity  to  govern. 
He  cannot  possibly  meet  his  domestic  responsibility  when 
administrative  problems  are  occupying  his  time  and  interest. 
Domestic  affaiis  are  those  such  as  education,  economic 
problems  etc.  The  president  does  not  have  time  to  deal  with 
these  problems  and  congreee  would  not  co-operate  if  he  did. 
The  country  is  then  caught  in  the  middle,  with  the  student 
at  the  short  end  of  the  middle. 

We  have  looked  briefly  how  we  are  affected  as  students. 
Let  us  now  look  at  how  we  are  affected  as  Seventh-day 
Adventists.  As  adventists  we  are  very  reliant  on  civB 
Hberties.  When  speaking  of  crvH  liberties  most  people  are 
referring  to  freedom  of  religion  assembly,  the  press  etc. 
There  has  been  enough  comment  on  Watergate  and  all  the 
unpiications  involves  But  how  could  it  affect  religious 
liberty?  One  major  side  effect  is  the  American  public  can 
become  so  complacent  they  could  care  less  about  religious 
discrimination.  If  there  is  no  concern  about  the  ethics  or 
our  highest  national  office  and  it's  conduct,  who  could 
seriously  care  about  an  obscure  group  of  Seventh-day 
Adventist?  People  have  ceased  Being  surprised  at  'earth 
shattering  developments'  in  the  field  of  consitutional  law. 
We  are  more  interested  in  the  soap  operas  than  the  Watergate 
Hearings.  We  are  more  interested  in  the  National  League 
play-ons  than  the  resignation  of  Vice-President  Agnew. 
But  the  hope  for  our  future  lies  not  in  the  soap  opera, 
rather  in  the  constitution. 

Ellen  White  comments  in  Fundamentals  of  Christian 
Education  (p.  475^  "...  (we)  partake  with  them  in  the  sins 
which  they  commit  while  in  office."  It  is  my  understanding 
as  an  admitted  layman,  she  referred  to  those  for  whom  we 
vote.  In  Collegedale  the  count  stood  approximately  770 
for  Nixon  and  44  for  McGovern.  It  is  a  sobering  thought  to 
consider  we  are  partially  responsible  for  the  state  of  anairs 
we  face  today.  Whether  this  is  due  to  the  lack  of  interest 
or  ignorance  changes  matters  littie. 

We  have  heard  some  people  say  they  don't  believe  in 
heaven  or  hell.  Their  behef,  however,  changes  little  the 
existance  of  both.  We  have  heard  ourselves  say  we  don't 
however,  believe  in,  or  aren't  interested  in  pohtics.  Our 
beliefs,  however,  changes  littie  the  existance  and  effect  of 
politics  in  our  academic,  social,  and  religious  lives.

Haunted  Mansion 

For  those  many  of  you  who  get  a 
special  kind  of  thrill  from  goblins,  witches, 
and  ghosts  in  the  dark,  there  is  a  treat  in 
store  at  the  WDXB-sponsored  Haunted 
Mansion. 

The  Mansion  is  open  free  to  visitors 
Monday  through  Saturday  seven  o'clock 
until  midnight  through  October  31.  It 
is  located  at  1 101  Forest  Avenue,  just 
off  Walnut  Street,  in  north  Chattanooga. 


No  Contact  Sport 

Ed.  note~The  following  article  vw, 
written  by  Dr.  Melvin  Campbell  in  tW  I 
defense  of  Hawaiian  flagball. 

We  invite  your  reactions  to  this 
article  in  the  form  of  a  letter  to  the 
editor. 

The  "no  contact  sport"  rule  could 
have  some  far-reaching  effects  on  the 
intramural  programs  at  SMC. 
Although  primarily  aimed  at  six-man 
flag  football,  it  could  well  be  applied 
to  basketball  as  it  is  played.  It  must 
be  stated  that  nowhere  is  it  proper  or 
legal  to  push,  shove,  hit,  or  knock  dovt.1 
in  basketball  (yet  at  times  it  is  used  as  T 
a  strategy)  as  it  is  in  football. 

It  is  very  difficult  under  these 
contact  conditions  to  maintain,  let 
alone  develop,  a  Christian  spirit. 
Quarterbacks  with  clean  jerseys  and 
basketball  guards,  who  never  receive 
an  elbow  conceibably  can  be  great 
Christian  athletes.  But,  those  on  the 
line  and  under  the  boards. ..well, 
that  is  another  story.  Hopefully 
the  "no  contact  rule"  will  omit 
the  pugilistic  nature  of  the  intramural  j 
program.  Yet  it  will  not  remove  the 
fierce  competition.  (The  latter  is  a 
subject  that  needs  study.) 

Both  basketball  and  football  have 
become  spectacular  sports  avidly 
played  by  the  men  and  watched  by  tktl 
women  to  the  delight  of  the  men. 
Which  brings  up  another  point  - 
intramural  activities  for  the  women 
(and  equal  coverage  in  the  Accent's 
sport's  page). 

It  would  seem  that  in  the  vast  num. 
of  sports,  many  of  which  have  carry^nj 
value,  encouragement  could  be  given  L 
to  the  less  pugilistic  sports.  SpecificaliJ 
tennis,  tracK  and  field,  golf,  badmilloi,! 
volleyball,  canoeing,  swimming,  skiing,r 
ping  pong,  archery,  sailing,  bowling, 
softDall,  handball.  Yet  none  of  theseii 
the  major  intramural  activites. 

It  is  true  that  one  cannot  identify 
himself  with  the  Sunday  television 
superstars  playing  the  above  sports, 
but  it  is  hoped  that  one  can  find  physic 
exercise,  mental  release,  fellowslup, 
fun,  and  hopefully,  a  better  Christian  I 
spirit  as  a  result.

Actor Windom  discusses  SMC 


Saturday  evening  Mr.  WUIiam  Windom, 
,nhablv  best  l<nown  for  his  role  in  the 
LTevlion  series  "My  World  and  Welcome 
1  It  "  performed  in  the  physical  education 

""hc  remained  on  the  SMC  campus  Sun- 
rtiv  visiting  with  students,  playing  tennis, 
7„d  running  in  the  afternoon  track  meet. 

Following  is  an  interview  conducted 
by  the  Acceni  staff  at  lunch  in  the  cafe- 
teria: 


What  was  your  first  impression  of  the 
College  here? 

Well,  there  are  several  colleges  which 
you  this  same  impression.  It's  a 
mall  tight,  little  community,  based 
lither  more  or  less  loosely  on  their  rehg- 
lius  Eroup.  Some  are  tighter,  some  are 
tot  as  tight.  I  lil<e  a  small  college  better. 
I  tliink  it's  a  gorgeous  campus.  1  just 
J(e  the  attitude  1  see  around  here.  It 
feems  to  be  healthy. 

What  did  you  expect  when  you  heard 
Sou  were  scheduled  to  perform  at  a  place 
\lled  Southern  Missionary  College? 
I  My  agent  said,  "They  are  Seventh-day 
Idventists.  You  had  better  not  count  on 
"y  tennis  for  Saturday."  That's  about 
1  he  told  me. 

I  You  don't  necessarily  teach  only 
lisiicnaries  here  who  are  then  going  out 
isave  the  world.  You've  got  about  100 
lligion  majors  here,  and  the  rest  of  them 
;e  involved  in  other  studies. 
[  When  did  you  arrive  on  the  SMC

mpusr 

1  sneaked  in  here  yesterday  (Saturday) 
lunch,  and  sneaked  right  out  again 
lien  I  saw  everybody  all  dressed  up. 
fcerybody  was  all  spiffed  up,  and  I 
lought,  "Well,  no.  It  looks  like  a  line 
■people  who  are  seriously  intent  on 
spectablites,  and  they  don't  want  me 
Siting  in  here."  So  I  drifted  right  out 
ain.  1  went  back  and  took  a  nap. 
[Have  you  ever  had  any  contacts  with 
wth-day  Adventists  before  you  came 
'e? 

Yeah,  and  that's  the  thing  I'd  like 
to  speak  about.  I  have  a  theory  that  your 
home,  your  telephone,  and  your  mailbox 
,aie  inviolable.  And  1  have  been  fighting 
iWc  mail,  unsolicited  phone  calls,  and 
iBBple  knocking  on  my  door  ever  since 
Jlcan  remember. 

Now,  1  could  be  in  the  shower,  I  could 
be  asleep,  I  could  be  reading,  or  I  could 
be  crying  quietly  in  the  corner,  but  here 
comes  somebody  with  a  whole  list  of 
stuff.  I'm  not  sure  if  they  are  all  Seventh- 
liay  Adventists.  but  they  are  on  the  relig-

policy 


I  don't  know  if  they're  a  front  man 
for  a  gang  of  car  thieves,  a  sex  nut,  or  a 
dope  addict.  All  I  know  is  that  they  are 
interrupting  me  unsolicitedly,  so  go  away. 
And  if  they^re  religious  and  sincere,  I'm 
sorry,  but  go  about  it  in  another  way.  I'm 
not  interested  in  having  my  privacy  inter- 
rupted that  way. 

What  alternatives  would  you  suggest 
for  a  religious  organization  to  undertake 
in  order  to  spread  their  beliefs? 

Put  it  in  the  paper.  Advertise.  Put  it 
where  I  can  find  it  if  I  choose  to  look  for 
it.  Don't  come  and  pound  me  on  the 
head  with  it. 

They've  always  been  polite  and  charm- 
ing people.  They  don't  get  pushy  if 
you  tell  them  no,  but  occasionally,  they 
catch  you  at  an  awkward  time. 

Whether  you're  selling  bird  seed  or 
religion,  I'll  come  to  you  when  I  want 
something.  And  I  can  find  you  m  the  _ 
phone  book  or  the  classified  ads.  That  s 
my  opinion.  . 

How  did  you  get  into  actmgf 

Fooling  around  in  school-you  know, 
school  plays.  It  seems  to  me,  you  learn 
acting  by  watching  good  and  had  acting, 


and  making  up  your  own  mind.  There's 
a  lot  of  bad  acting  to  watch  in  the  movies. 

What  do  you  think  of  the  current  trend 
in  the  movies? 

They're  supposed  to  be  getting  back  to 
hearts  and  flowers  now.  However,  there 
is  a  way  of  doing  a  nude  scene  that  is  fas- 
cinating, even  if  it's  only  the  back  of  your 
hand  that's  nude.  It  can  be  gorgeous, 
artistic,  veiled,  shadowed,  or  whatever 
you  want  to  do  to  make  the  human  body 
appear  beautiful. 

What  are  some  of  the  films  you  have 
been  in?. 

"To  Kill  a  Mocking  Bird,"  "Escape 
from  the  Planet  of  the  Apes,"  "The 
Man,"  and  some  real  bombs,  too. 

Areyou  thinking  of  doing  a  pilot 
show  on  television? 

I'm  thinking  of  it.  No  body  else  is. 

Do  you  think  that  much  of  the 
problem  of  television  today  is  that  it  is 
addressed  to  about  a  fifth-grade  audience? 

I  suppose  the  problem  of  it  is  the  prob- 
lem with  the  automobile  industry.  It 
is  catering  to  the  market  that  pays  the 
price.  Suppose  you  came  out  with  a 
a  big,  safe  car,  guaranteed  to  last 
ten  years,  and  cost  SS.OnO.  Would  you 


buy  it,  or  would  you  keep  on  year  after 
year  with  the  new  models?  Which  would 
.you  buy?  I  think  the  big,  safe,  husky  car 
that  lasts  ten  years  is  a  good  buy,  but 
I'm  not  the  market.  That  isn't  what  the 
people  want. 

How  do  your  live  performances  com- 
pare with  working  on  television? 

It's  like  bullfighting  with  a  bull  as  like 
bullfighting  with  a  wheelbarrow.  One's 
real,  and  one's  fake.  Television  and 
movies  are  fake.  There's  nothing  real 
about  them.  You  can  get  bored  with  an 
audience.  You  can't  get  bored  in  the 
movies. 

How  was  last  ni^t's  audience? 

On  a  scale  of  one  to  ten,  if  ten  was 
(the  top),  you  would  receive  about  six. 
The  thing  that  upset  me  was  that  I  got 
more  laughs  out  of  the  announcements 
than  out  of  the  show. 

Do  you  find  the  studen  ts  here  typical 
of  most  college  groups  that  you  run  into? 

.Yeah,  same  type  of  people  exactly. 
Not  that  I'm  trying  to  say  everybody's  the 
same.  There  is  the  quality  of  enthusiasm, 
interest,  good  manners,  and  accepting 
me  on  almost  an  equal  level.  I  find  that 
very  intriguing.  I  like  that. 


The  Faculty  Senate  met  Monday 
afternoon  and  voted  that  field  trips, 
including  Bible  Conference,  SA  wor- 
shops,  NlV  workshops,  trips  by 
musical  groups,  and  other  similar 
activities,  may  not  include  any  more 
than  one  day  of  regularly  scheduled 
classes  per  semester.

"It  could 

besi  be  described  as  painting  on  cloth 
usins  a  different  media-dye  instead  of 
oils." 

Tie-dving,  an  art  Western  designers 
borrowed  from  .Africa  and  Southeast 
Asia,  uses  hiiidlili^s  lu  resist  dyes. 
The  iiriisi  biiidM.1(ilh  with  rub  ei

desiies    Wren  the  cloth  is  dippe  1  into 
dye  ihe  bound  portions  retain  the 
original  color,  creating  conlrasting 
patterns. 

Banking  originated  in  India,  then 
spread  througlroul  the  Far  East, 
concentrating  on  the  island  of  Java  in 
Indonesia.  To  batik,  one  applies  wax 
to  cloth  where  the  original  color  is 
to  be  retained,  then  dips  the  cloth  in 
dye.  For  more  intricate  patterns  a 
Ijanting  tool,  which  resembles  a  pipe 
with  a  spout  on  one  end.  is  filled  with 
hot  wax  and  drawn  across  the  cloth  in 
the  pattern  desired. 

To  repeat  a  pattern  consistently  over 
a  large  area,  dye  is  applied  to  one  end  of 
a  Ijap,  a  wooden  or  plastic  stamp  with 
the  desired  pattern  carved  into  one  end, 
then  pressed  onto  the  cloth  while  wet. 
Direct  application  involves  painting 
characters  directly  onto  cloth  with  dye. 

The  finished  cloth  may  be  used  for 
anything  tlie  artist  wishes,  such  as 
clothes,  pillows,  panels,  screens,  lamp- 
shades, or  quills. 

The  upper-division,  two-hour  class 
will  be  offered  from  1 :0Q  p.m.  to 
3:00  p.m.  on  Mondays  and  Wednesdays 
second  semester.  Thougli  intended 
mainly  as  an  elective  for  interior  design 
majors,  it  will  also  count  as  an  applied 
art  for  general  education  requirements. 

Miss  Zollinger  received  her  B.S. 
degree  from  SMC.  While  obtaining  her 
M.S.  degree  in  Interior  Design  and  Crafts

Report  of 
1973  Fall  Council 


At  the  1973  Fall  Council,  the 
following  items  specilically  relating 
to  SMC  were  voted  by  the  general 
session.  Full  minutes  of  the  entire

those  items  directly  affecting  the 
SMC  program  can  be  noted  here. 

1    The  Fall  Council  must  approve 
all  formal  tours  organized  by  any  unit 
of  the  church.  Among  those  approved 
were  two  tours  affecting  Southern 
Missionary  College.  The  first  of  these 
is  a  tour  to  Europe  sponsored  by  the 
German  Department  of  the  college  and 
Collegedale  Academy,  which  will  take 
place  in  May  1974.  The  second  lour 
approved  is  one  sponsored  primarily 
by  the  Georgia-Cumberland  Conference 
under  the  aitspices  of  the  college. 
This  is  ill  hatmonv  with  a  General 
ConleiciKc  iiciiuii  that  all  lours  must 
come  under  ilic  uliimate  sponsorship 
of  one  of  ihc  church  colleges  in  North 
America. 

2.  The  General  Conference  session 
for  1975  was  confirmed  for  Vienna, 
Austria.  Pre-session  meetings  will  be

General  Conference  session  ilsell  will 
be  July  10-19,  1975.  The  1974  Fall 
Council  will  be  held  October  9-1 7  at 
Loma  Linda  University. 

3.  The  General  Conference  in  the 
past  has  had  a  Department  of  Radio 
and  TV.  and  other  departments  of  the 
General  Conference  have  handled  various 
area  of  communication.  At  the  Fall 
Council  these  were  pulled  together  under 
a  general  deparlnieni  now  called  the

SOS  club 

makes 

plans  for 

coming  year 


The  Southern  Outdoor  Society 
(SOS)  went  on  a  joint  backpacking 
trip  last  weekend  with  the  outdoor 
club  of  Oakwood  college,  Huntsville, 
Ala  ,  camping  in  a  national  park  in 
northern  Alabama. 

The  SOS  is  also  planning  hikes, 
campuig  trips,  canoeing,  horseback 
ndmg,  and  an  all  day  caving  trip  to 
Tumolini;  Ruck  Caverns  in  Alabama. 

The  Llub  meeti  once  or  twice  a 
month    "We  try  to  make  these 
meelmgs  be  of  an  instructional  nature." 
says  Rolland  Crawford,  vice-president 
of  the  SOS.  Edible  wild  loocfs  & 
mountam  climbing  are  some  of  the 
topics  that  have  been  discussed. 

hi  the  future,  the  SOS.  hopes  to 
have  d  bicycle  camping  trip  and

Feneral  education  requirennents 
re-examined  by  connnnittee 


as  well  as  students,  have  for 
lycars  complained  about  the  tew 
Ihanges  which  have  been  made  in 
Jicral  Education  requirements  of 
Jege  to  obtain  a  degree, 
e  years  ago  a  committee  was  set 
'  the  CER.  With  the  final  report 
IconcluMve,  it  produced  little  change  in 
le present  structure. 

Again  111  November,  1972,  the  faculty, 
uilents.  and  administration  prompted 
leFaculiy  Senate  to  form  a  second  com- 
ittee_ol  nine  members  to  update  the  pre- 
ous  report. 

Tlic  objectives  of  the  committee  were 
■  to  prepare  a  statement  of  philosophy 
r  general  education,  2).  to  prepare  and 
■sign  the  broad  areas  for  the  GER.  and 
■to  prepare  and  design  the  specific 
mses  under  these  areas. 
It  was  the  view  of  the  committee  to 
iw  the  General  Education  philosophy 
changed,  since  it  coincides  with  what 
P'ars  on  pagg  ^^^  ^f  (|,g  s|^(-  catalog 
"  "Statement  of  Objectives." 
ne  broad  areas  recently  selected  by

Boals  with  his  academic  advisor,  a

^.  the  GER  is  set  at  some  60  to  66

distinction  in  the  requirements  for  the 
B.S.,  B.A.,  and  A.S.  degrees,  abolishing 
the  necessity  of  a  minor  as  a  graduation 
requirement. 

Dr.  Wayne  VandeVere,  committee 
chairman,  stated,  "Students  have  given  us 
their  opinions  and  we  value  them  highly." 
He  continued  by  saying,  "The  committee 
issues  a  bi-monthly  report  to  the  Facutly 
Senate,  and  in  January,  1974,  we  will  sub- 


mit our  final  report  for  Senate  approval. 
If  our  program  is  approved,  it  will    ■ 
receive  its  initiation  in  the  1974-75 
academic  year. 

Dr.  VandeVere  went  on  to  say,  "There 
are  many  school  today,  according  to  our 
studies,  that  have  instituted  plans  similar 
to  this,  and  with  much  success.  I  feel, 
along  with  the  other  committee  members, 
that  this  program  is  desperately  needed 
and  will  be  widely  accepted."

UFO  watchers,  take  note: 

There  will  be  a  bright  light  in  the 
sky  from  November  1  through  late 
December,  but  the  object  has  already 
been  identified. 

It  will  be  the  giant  comet  Kohoutek. 
The  comet  is  expected  to  be  among  the 
brightest  this  century,  according  to  I  odd 
Ettien,  president  of  the  Barnard  Astro- 
nomical Society. 

The  comet  will  be  featured  at  a 
public  observing  session  October  27 
at  the  Jones  Observatory  in  Chattanooga. 

Kohoutek  is  already  zipping  across  the 
sky,  but  it  is  currently  visible  in  Collegedale 
only  with  the  use  of  telescopes  and  bi- 
noculars. 


The  comet  can  be  seen  with  the  naked 
eye  from  November  1  as  it  moves  slowly 
southeastward  in  the  morning  sky. 

By  December,  it  should  be  south  of 
the  briglit  star  Spica,  and  possibly  as 
bright  as  the  North  Star  Polaris.  It  will 
grow  dramatically  in  brightness  until 
December  28,  when  it  may  be  bright 
enougli  to  see  in  the  daytime  sky  if  the 
sun  is  blocked  out  by  one's  liand.

at  the  20  yard  line. 

4.  The  ball  carriers  must  run  to  avoid 
"tacklers".   Deliberate  charging  of  an 
opponent  isa  15  yard  penalty.   (Officials 
will  use  the  same  judgement  on  charging 
and  blocking  by  offensive  and  defensive 
players  as  in  basketball.  "Brushing 
contact"  and  unavoidable  contact  is 

not  willful  "charging". 

5.  Ball  carrier  cannot  use  a  "stiff- 
arm"  or  ward  off  the  defender. 
(Penalty  15  yards!. 

6.  No  charging,  blocking  or  body 
contact  by  the  defense  is  permitted. 
(Penalty  15  yards). 

7.  If  a  defensive  player  tackles  an 
opponent,  where  the  runner  was  in 
the  clear,  and  in  the  opinion  of  the 
referee  would  have  scored  except  for 
being  tackled,  a  touchdown  shall  be 
allowed.   If  a  defesive  player  reaches 
across  the  body  of  the  ball  carrier 

to  pull  the  flag  and  contact  is  made, 
the  responsibility  of  the  contact  lies 
with  the  defensive  player.  Penalty  is 
15  yards  unless  in  the  officials  opinion 
the  tackle  was  flagrant. 

8.  On  the  80  yard  field: 

a.  A  touchback  will  be  put  into  play 
on  the  20  yard  line.    


b.  The  halves  are  to  start  with  a 
free  kick  from  the  20  yard  line, 
the  receiving  team  must  have  two 
men  on  the  40  yard  line. 

9.  Offensive  players  must  operate  under 
the  same  blocking  and  no  charging  rules. 
(Penalty  -  15  yards).  An  offensive 
player  in  front  of  the  bait 

t  stop  his  run  when  a  defender 


mity. 


10.  The  ball  carrier  is  down  at  the  spot 
where  the  "tackier"  pulled  out  one  of 
the  flags.  (Unnecessary  roughness  by 
the  tackier  or  elbowing  by  the  runner 
isa  15  yard  penalty.)  In  the  event  of 
a  flag  dropping  without  being  pulled 

by  a  tackier,  the  runner  is  now  down  until 
a  defender  touches  him. 

1 1 .  On  kick-off  and  punt  returns  the 
3  Pass  rule  is  not  in  effect.  The  kick 
receiver  must  carry  the  ball  or  backward 
pass  or  lateral  (For  the  '73  season  the 
ball  may  not  be  carried  over  the  goal; 
therefore,  the  kick  receiver  cannot 
score). 

12.  The  defensive  team  must  be  5  or 
more  yards  behind  the  line  of  scrimmage 
until  the  ball  is  snapped,  except  that 
when  the  ball  is  inside  the  10  yard  line, 
they  shall  be  half  the  distance  to  the 
goal  line  from  the  scrimmage  line. 
(Offside  penalty  ■  5  yards). 

13.  Unsportsmanlike  conduct  of  a  gross 
and  willful  nature  or  curbing,  shall 
cause  that  player  to  be  eliminated  from 
the  game  and  his  team  shall  be  penalized 
half  the  distance  to  the  goal.  (Repeated 
penalties  by  a  player  or  team  can  incur 

a  suspension  from  the  league.) 

14.  "Sleeper"  piay-if  all  offensive  players 
come  from  the  huddle,  it  is  defensive 
team's  responsibility.   Offensive  players  cai 
line  up  anywhere.   If  there  is  no  huddle, 
offensive  team  must  line  up  within 

15  yards  of  the  ball. 

15.  Guarding  the  flag  by  bending  at  the 
waist,  holding  the  ball,  or  having  an 
arm  over  the  flag  while  the  defender 

is  attempting  to  take  the  flag,  shall 
be  penalized.   (Loss  of  down  from

'Pineapple  Flagball'   kicked  off 


Some  corrections  need  to  be  made 
iTom  last  week's  sports  section.  In 
men's  slow  pitch  play  ZoUineer  beat 
Davis  8-7  instead  of  the  other  way 
aroimd  as  was  printed  in  last  week  s 
issue.  This  would  make  Zollinger  7-5 
and  Davis  2-9  in  the  final  won-Ioss 
standings.  Wiehn  ended  the  men's 
slow  pitch  season  last  week  as  they 
defeated  the  All-Stars. 

Tlie  women's  softball  season  ended 
last  week  as  Casil  defeated  the  Academy 
team  by  the  score  of  16-1 1  to  give  Casil  _ 
the  title.  Casil  will  now  play  the  women  s 
.Ml-Star  team  to  end  the  season. 

Tlie  teams  for  Hawaiian  football 
were  chosen  last  week.  There  are  two 
leagues  (National  and  Americaq),  with 
SIX  teams  in  each  league.  The  teams 
will  only  play  in  their  respective 
leagues,  the  first  game  of  the  season 
found  two  National  League  teams, 
Hellgren  and  Peden,  battle  to  a  34-26 
victory  in  favor  of  Hellgren.  This 
game  was  played  on  October  18th.  In 
tlie  game  Morgan  Hellgren  scored  1 8 
points  and  Brooks  Burnsed  scored  13 
points  for  the  winners  while  Wes 
Holland  and  John  Nafie  were  the 
-leading  scorers  for  the  losers  with  1 2  and 
8  points  respectively. 

On  Oct.  21  die  National  League  game 
between  Burnham  and  Reilly  ended  up 
in  a  decisive  victory  for  Burnham's 
team.  John  Maretich  (Burnham's  co- 
captain  and  quarterback)  connected  on 
six  touchdown  passes  to  five  different 
receivers  in  the  39-19  routing  of  Reilly. 
High  scorer  for  the  game  was  Tom 
(Tweeter)  Davidson  with  1 3  points  for 
the  winning  team.  In  tht  American 
League  Hayes  defeated  Landess  by 
the  score  of  34-1 2.  The  line  score  was 
not  turned  in  so  the  results  of  this 
game  will  be  run  in  next  week's 
paper. 

On  Oct.  22  in  the  National  Leaeue 
Peden  dumped  Reilly  with  a  score  of 
32-18.  Wes  Holland  led  the  scoring  with 
1 2  points  with  John  Nafie  pulling  in 
8  points,  both  for  Peden's  team. 

In  other  campus  sports  action  the 
women's  volleyball  league  has  started 
with  only  practice  games  having  been 
played  as  of  this  writing.

Bible  Conf. 
time 'ideal' 


Steve  Snow  leads  out  in  one  of  the  outdoor  religion  discussions  at  the  Bible  Conference  last  weekend.

Road  rally  slated 
for Sunday 

I         Tp-jme  that  have  driven  in 


Delta  Phi,  the 

„  club,  and  Central 

Camera  will  sponsor  a  road  rally 
Sunday  Afternoon  on  local  roads 
and  highways. 

According  to  Gary  Kinne 
and  Geny  Mobley,  organizers  of 
the  event,  the  rally  is  open  to 
participation  by  SMC  students, 
faculty,  and  staff,  as  well  as  Co- 
legedide  area  residents. 

Proper  timing,  rather  than  raw 
speed,  will  be  the  most  important 
factor.    Participants  will  leave  at 
one-minute  intervals  from  a 
parking  lot,  and  their  progress 
will  be  logged  at  several  check- 
points along  a  prescribed  route. 
State  and  local  traffic  laws  must 
be  obeyed  at  all  times. 

Each  participating  team  will 
consist  of  a  driver,  a  navigator,  and 
no  other  persons  may 
with  them.  Motor- 
:  be  permitted  in  the 


their  vehicle 


Teams  that  have  driven  i 
three  or  fewer  rallys  will  be 
entered  in  the  "novice"  class, 
while  the  more  experienced 
contenders  will  be  classified  as 
"rallyists."  Trophies  wiU  be 
awarded  in  each  class. 

Mobley  said  in  a  recent  interveiw 
that  the  navigator  is  a  key  element 
in  a  team.  He  should  have  a  bent 
towards  math,  and  the  tools  that 
will  enable  him  to  keep  constant 
track  of  the  average  speed  of  his 
vehicle  so  far  on  the  run.  Use  of  a 
stopwatch  is  recommended,  as  weu 
as  a  slide  rule  or  electronic  calculator 
(One  note  about  calculators: 
in  the  bright  afternoon  sun,  the 
small  red  "LED"  readouts  may  be 
difficult  to  see.) 

Participants  should  allow 
plenty  of  fuel  for  the  rally, 
which  wUl  extend  about  90  mUes 
and  will  take  about  two  and  one-hall 
hours  to  complete. 

Teams  wishing  to  sign  up  may 


sheets  to  be  posted  on 

bulletin  boards  in  the  dormitories 
and  Lynn  Wood  HaU.  Mobley 
recommends  that  particpants  that 
sign  up  early,  as  information  will 
be  distributed  to  teams  before  the 
event.  A  nominal  fee  for  entry  wiU 
be  charged.       by  John  Beckett 


Bill  Shelly,  religious  vice 
president  at  SMC,  believes  that 
the  timing  was  ideal  for  the  1973 
Bible  Conference  held  at  Indian 
Creek  Youth  Camp.  He  said 
that  since  it  was  held  just  after 
mid-term  tests,  that  it  gave  the 
students  a  chance  to  really  relax 
and  enjoy  the  conference. 

The  conference  was  held 
Oct.  25-27,  with  approximately 
125  SMC  students,  and  100 
Oakwood  College  students  in 
attendance.  Shelly  said  that  there 
existed  a  warm  feeling  between  the 
two  schools.  The  conference 
presented  a  unique  combination 
of  the  Christian  s  physical  and 
spiritual  life.  Dr.  Agatha  Thrash, 
and  Eld.  H.M.S.  Richards.  Sr., 

It  has  been  expressed  by  some 
students,  that  although  Dr.  Thrash 
at  times  had  the  students  sitting 
uneasy,  she  did  give  them  some- 
thing to  think  about.  At  the 
Thursday  and  Friday  meetings, 
she  presented  many  facts  and 
ideas  about  health  and  dress 
reform,  and  really  got  into  the 
"how's  and  why's"  of  these  subjects, 
reports  Shelly. 

The  Jubilates  sang  and  there 
was  plenty  of  Oakwood  music 
to  keep  thmgs  moving.  Tlie  students 
were  impressed  by  the  "relating 
ability"  of  Eld.  Richards.  He  spoke 
mostly  of  his  personal  experiences 
and  held  an  interesting  question 
and  answer  period  on  Sabbath 
afternoon. 

The  weekend  concluded  with 
a  commitment

Steps  are  currently  under  way 
oy  the  city  of  CoUegedale  to  take 
over  the  sewage  disposal  facility 
from  the  coUege  and  improve  it, 
pending  the  receiving  of  a  federal 
grant,  according  to  Colleged^e 
City  Manager  D.E.  Keller. 

Mr.  KeUer  pointed  out  that  the 
present  facility  does  not  meet 
federal  standards,  and  the  college 
cannot  afford  to  re-buUd  it  to  meet 
the  standards.  After  the  facility 
is  brought  up  to  the  standards,

to  the  system,  along 
with  the  coUege. 

He  also  said  that  to  totaUy 
complete  the  project  (running 
the  sewer  lines,  etc.)  would  probably 
itake  about  10  years. 
*      Sewage  disposal  in  Collegedale 
!is  a  problem  in  some  areas.  Mr. 
Keller  said  that  there  are  some

Collegedale  Distributers,  m 
revamping  it's  Eastern  United 
States  health  food  service,  has 
dropped  the  Forida  warehouse, 
and  is  building  a  new  enlarged 
warehouse  in  the  Collegedale 

"Our  new  warehouse  should 
tmished  and  in  use  by  December, 
stated  Don  Glass,  general  manager  of 
Collegedale  Distributers.  Construct- 
ion delays  have  delayed  completion 
of  the  warehouse,  but  at  this  time 
*  "  building  is  progressing  steadily. 

The  facility  at  the  1-75  in- 
terchange in  Ooltewah  along  the 
mtcrstate  will  more  than  double  the 
13,000  sq.  ft.  floor  space  of  the 
present  warehouse  in  the  College 

"The  Committee  of  100,  a 
eioup  of  SDA  businessmen  con- 
cerned with  developing  SMC, 
mil  own  the  $200,000  ware-house 
and  will  lease  the  building  to 
Collegedale  Distributors,    said 
Charles  Fleming  Jr.,  geneml 
manager  of  finance  and  develop- 
ment at  SMC. 

There  are  two  primary  reasons 
1  'or  the  erection  of  the  warehouse, 


according  to  Mr.  Glass.  First, 
the  inadequate  space  of  the 
Florida  warehouse  made  it  im- 
possible  to  stock  a  wide  variety  ot 
health  foods.  Second,  overhead 
will  be  reduced  with  one  central 
warehouse,  and  the  shipment  system 
will  go  through  one  office  at 
Collegedale  instead  of  duplicating 
inventory  and  shipping  crews  at 
both  Forest  City  and  Collegedale. 

Also,  expansion  of  services 
necessiatated  the  building  of 
warehouse  to  hold  increased 
inventory.  PresenUy,  Collegedale 
Distributers  ships  its  good  trom 
Miami  to  Detroit,  and  from 
Baltimore  to  Chicago;  and  they 
are  aiming  for  greater  service 
within  these  areas. 

Collegedale  Distributers,  as  a 
business  dosely  allied  to  the  college, 
funds  the  coUege  directly  from 
ts  near  $100,000  yearly  profits  and 
indirectly  througli  student  labor. 
Tlie  1973  fisca^  years  $12,2 10 
student  payroll  showed  a  $4,880 
gata  over  the  1972  fiscal  year.

Residue  of  an 

o       Alumni 
Weekend 

Ed.  iiore-Tlie  following  editorial  was  written  to  the 
ACCENT  by  an  alumnus  of  SMC.  Last  year  the  author 
uos  e.xecutive  rice  president  of  the  SA.  He  is  now  em- 
ployed as  assistant  manager  of  the  Adventist  Book 
Center  in  Orlando,  Florida. 

At  the  invitation  of  the  editorial  staff,  I  share  some 
impressions  of  my  first  Alumni  Weekend. 

As  dawn  filled  the  Georgia  hills  on  my  saga  north,  the 
trees  and  rolling  terrain  so  foreign  to  Florida  assured  me  that 
1  would  be  happy  to  see  the  same  old  place  again.  I  wasn't 
disappointed.  Dton't  kid  yourself;  SMC  is  a  good  place  to 
be  and  a  great  place  to  come  back  to.  To  be  a  student  is 
to  be  a  member  of  a  privileged  segment  of  society,  but 
many  appreciate  it  too  late. 

I  decided  Friday  was  to  be  a  day  of  exploring  the 
changes  in  people  and  places.  1  found  Hallock  busy 
for  once,  but  editors  have  always  been  that  way.  Litch 
is  not  the  ball  of  fire  he  once  was,  but  SA  presidents  are 
always  a  little  more  reserved.  Persons  have  changed,  but 
people  are  the  same. 

There  are  many  new  faces,  but  that's  not  anything  new, 
either.  And  the  whispered  queiy,  "Is  she  dating  anyone 
in  particular?"  stOI  seems  as  American  as  strawberry  milk- 
shakes in  the  C.K. 

Buildings  are  new,  but  there  are  always  new  buildings 
at  SMC.  The  students  center  is  a  boon  \o  student  comfort 
and  unity.  It  is  a  much  needed  addition.  Long  live  the 
Student  Center,  even  with  its  seemingly  omniscient, 
omnipotent,  and  omnipresent  monitors.  A  new  building, 
but  the  same  system. 

Friday  night  proved  to  be  a  genuine  revelation.  "Whosit's" 
theory  was  once  and  forever  proved  wrong.  The  seats  are 
just  as  hard  now  during  die  prolonged  meeting  as  the>. 
were  when  it  was  "their  alumni  weekend."  I  guess  I  do 
have  more  patience,  for  training  has  had  its  effects. 
Was  that  Pavlov's  idea?  Skinner's?  Probably  Knittel's. 
Ask  Mr.  Lamb. 

My  first  Alumni  Association  meeting  was  a  nearly 
traumatic  experience.  As  a  student  I  had  always  regarded 
the  alumni  as  a  "they  "  group.  Then,  as  if  to  put  me  down, 
reality  came  around,  and  I  was  forced  to  admit  that  I  am 
hopelessly  trapped  on  the  one-way  time  tram-downhill  since 
birth.  Death  begins  to  set  in  with  the  first  breath.  The 
alumni'  have  not  changed,  but  1  am  now  painfully  aware 
of  our  common  disease.  I'm  not  about  to  give  up,  for  I  am 
still  young,  but  time  is  inevitable. 

It  was  not  all  depressing,  though.  I  was  rejuvenated  by 
the  challenge  of  point  and  counter  point  1  remember  so 
well  from  one  short  year  ago.  A  college  campus  is  always 
vibrating  with  the  song  of  thought,  even  if  no  action  is 
forthcoming.  1  heard  new  songs  being  sung,  with  the  same 
old  vigor,  and  the  old  songs  have  been  re-leased  with  a 
persistence  known  only  to  students.  (And  lemmings.  I 
give  100  per  cent  moral  support  to  the  seemin^y  lost  cause 
of  "education"  versus  "students'-even  though  both 
sides  are  losing!) 

One  old  melody  heard  once  again  in  the  Senate  is  to 
steer  the  annual  in  new  directions.  Though  the  annual  has 
been  dormant  or  ages,  each  year  a  call  is  sounded  for  its 
phoenix  to  come  forth  reincarnated.  Why  not  ask  Marshall 
McCluen  to  join  the  revision  committee?  A  work  of  art 
would  be  a  refreshing  change. 

Distilling  the  impressions  upon  my  first  return  leaves  a 
residue  of  paradox  and  enlightenment.  It  seems  as  if 
everything  is  new,  but  its  stUI  the  same  institution 
Change  is  status  quo.  Faces  and  facilities  are  always 
chan^g;  but  the  purposes  of  the  institution  and  roles  of 
mdividuals  are  constant.  SMC  is  a  function  through  which 
people  are  processed.  Students  pick  their  course,  but  only 
a  precious  few  pioneer  their  own  paths. 

•  Tlie  institution  is  producing  the  same  play,  but  it's  lust 

the  next  act  on  stage  as  I  return  from  intermission.  The 
castmg  has  had  quite  a  turnover  and  the  costumes  are 
rm,!f;K"U'  r,™'  ""' '  ■'"'"  '^''^Sed  more  than  SMC. 
It  must  be  that  I  am  an  actor,  too,  and  by  sitting  in  the  box 
office  seats  wi  h  the  alumni,  I  see  my  former  role  played 

,  \^*'7u,^'^""?"^  ^'^''""<'  ^  ^"n  «*"  to  v'^ew  your 
lost  youth?  Nostalgia  is  fun,  but  it  is  fattening.  WhaT  S 
It  take  to  show  that  "alu.nni"  is  but  anotherrole  Te  we 
anything  more  than  roles?  Who's  watching  us  play  o,^  pLts' 

And  by  the  way,  does  God  judge  the  actor  or  the^t 
you  or  your  function?  And  what  is  the  difference

Men's  Club 
tournaments 


Dear  Editor, 

Tlierc  is  a  situation  on  our  campus 
that  lias  become  a  grievance  to  a  few  of 
us.  In  the  past,  the  SA  Recreation  Com- 
mittee has  been  responsible  for  the  or- 
ganization and  sponsorship  of  many 
sports  tournaments  throughout  the 
school  year.  It  has  been  generally  rec- 
ognized each  of  us  was  permitted  to 
enter  any  or  all  of  these  tournaments. 

During  the  past  two  years,  there 
has  been  a  trend  for  the  Recreation 
Committee  to  dack  off  in  the  tourna- 
ment activities  and  concentrate  on  the 
intramural  program.  This  slack  has  been 
taken  up  by  the  dormitory  men's  club 
each  year  until  this  year  all  the  tourna- 
ments that  have  been  run  so  far  have 
been  under  the  men's  club  jurisdiction. 
Now,  there  is  nothing  inherently  wrong 
with  the  men's  club  sponsoring  as  many 
tournaments  as  they  wish.  The  problem 
begins  when  the  SA  gives  over  aU  tourna- 
ments to  the  men's  club,  as  has  apparent- 
ly happened.  This  means  that  anyone 
who  lives  in  the  village  and  is  married 
is  excluded  from  these  tournaments 
unless  he  has  paid  men's  club  dues. 

Believe  me,  Mr.  Editor,  there  are 
some  good  athletes  who  reside  in  the 
village  who  could  and  would  add  to  the 
quality  of  competition  in  the  tourna- 
ments if  they  were  allowed  to  partici- 
pate. 

There  is  a  principle  involved  here, 
Mr.  Editor,  in  that  since  we  mairied 
village  students  have  paid  our  SA  dues

No  contact  impossible 


I  feci  compeition  is  necessary  in 
sports  of  all  kinds,  and  can  prove 
very  beneficial  if  properly  controlled. 
But  then,  isn't  competition  in 
the  classroom  fierce  to  get  the  top 
'""'*"'  —  perhaps  between  dcpaii- 


Dear  Editor: 

I  agree  with  Dr.  Campbell 
that  the  "no-contact  sport" 
rule  (SOUTHERN  ACCENT 
10-24-73)  could  have  some  far- 
reaching  affects  on  the  intramural 
program  at  SMC.  It  could 
cause  the  program  to  whither  and 
die,  or  maybe  to  change  a  few 
other  rules  due  to  existing  contact 
Would  this  mean  no  more  jump 
balls  or  screening  in  basketball? 
No  sliding  or  barreling  into  a 
catcher  blocking  the  plate  in 
Softball?  Or  no  blocking  a  spike 
in  volleyball  (due  to  possible 
contact  throu^  the  net)? 

There  is  no  way  you  can 
possibly  omit  all  contact  in  foot- 
ball, flagball,  keepaway  or  which- 
ever other  term  you  prefer. 
The  same  is  true  of  basketbaU. 
Whether  taping  for  a  pass, 
battling  for  a  rebound,  diving 
for  a  flag  or  scrambling  for  a 
loose  ball,  contact  will  occur. 

At  times,  it  is  difficult  to 
maintain  a  christian  spirit, 
but  no  more  difficult  than 
when  confronted  with  an 
unsympathetic  dean,  or  a 
two-faced  teacher. 

Don't  misunderstand  me.  i 
am  not  condemming  Hawaiian 
flagball.  1  think  its  an  excellent 
ADDITION  to  the  intramural 

program.  1  don't  think  it  should  ,,^^,j^n  ^^  ,u„  .u.  .n^vut

I  would  be  more  than  happy 
to  see  equal  coverage  of  women' 
activitcs  in  the  SOUTHERN  ACCENT,  ] 
provided  the  intramural  interest  wa 
equal.  The  men's  club  has  done 
an  outstanding  job  of  providing  a 
variety  of  activities  to  suit  one's 
particular  taste.  Currently  four 
activities  are  running  simuUan- 
eoulsy.  Not  that  the  ladies  of 
Thatcher  and  Jones  aren't  pro- 
viding suitable  activities  for  them- 
selves, but  how  many  of  our  wonei 
here  want  to  be  known  as  a  campus 
"super-jock?" 

True,  some  sports  offer  more 
"carry-over  value"  than  others,  Of 
all  14  listed,  I  noticed  1 2  were 
primarily  individual  activities. 
Is  this  significant?  How  may  one 
develope  teamwork  througli 
individual  activities.  And  there  is 
certainly  more  physical  exercise 
developed  througli  flagball  or 
basketball  than  through  ping- 
pong,  archery,  and  bowling? 
1  feel  it  should  be  pointed 
out  that  the  "rough,  contact" 
sports  such  as  basketball  and 
flagball  are  run  for  maybe

Sabbath  School 


Dear  Editor, 

I,  for  one,  am  pleased  with  the 
new  babbath  School  arrangement 
on  our  campus.  The  smaller  groups 
allow  for  greater  variety  a  more 
personal  approach,  and  more  par- 
ticipation. I  feel  more  involved. 

My  only  regret  is  that  more 


students  don't  take  advantage  of  JM 
Sabbath  School  programs.  There  s 
no  tuition  charge  for  this  class,  ana 
it  offers  a  blessing  that  will  really 
help  make  Sabbath  a  special  day. 
Try  it.  You'll  like  it! 

Sincerely,

Folk  singers 
to  perform 
Sat.  night 


October  3 1 ,  1 973  The  Southern  Accent 


Folk  singers  Steve  Addiss  and 
Bill  Crofut  will  appear  at  SMC 
Saturday  evening  at  8:00  p.m.  in 
the  physical  education  center. 

They  sing  the  music  of  all  ages 
and  continents,  and  a  single  concert 

include  elements  of  jazz, 
classical,  foreign,  and  folk  music. 
Their  approach  to  music  is 
nparalleled,  "Music  is  not  a 
niversal  language,"  they  say. 
It  has  to  be  learned  country  by 
country  so  as  to  reflect  the  unique 
pecial  quality  of  those  people 
it  belongs  to." 

They  will  present  music  from 
„  .epertoire  that  includes  songs  in 
32  languages  and  will  play  a  wide 
variety  of  instruments-five  string 
banjo,  six  and  twelve  string 
guitars,  French  horn,  flutes  of 
various  sorts,  harpsichord,  piano, 
Asi.'.n  tranh,  and  an  African  thumb 

Addis  and  Crofut  have  been 
sent  on  four  "Cultural  Exchange" 
world  tours.  They  have  visited 
Asia,  Africa,  Europe,  and  India. 

They  have  also  given  command 
performances  at  the  White  House 
and  the  United  Nations,  and  have 
been  awarded  a  Presidential 
Citation  for  their  contribution 
toward  "mutual  understanding 
between  the  people  of  the  United 
States  and  the  people  of  friendly 
nations  abroad." 

Addis  majored  in  music  under 
Walter  Piston  at  Harvard.  After 
graduate  study  in  New  York  with 


John  Cage,  he  became  a  composer 
a  teacher  and  a  vvritcr  for  Musical 
America  Magazine. 

He  is  presently  working  on  a 
Ph.D.  m  Japanese  studies  at  the 
University  of  Michigan  in  Ann 
Arbor,  fitting  his  studies  into  a 
busy  concert  schedule. 

After  studing  French  horn  on 
scholarship  in  England,  Crofut 
returned  to  America  to  major  in 
music  at  Allegheny  College,  Mead- 
ville.  Pa.  It  was  there  that  a  concert 
by  Pete  Seeger  attracted  him  to  the 

After  college  he  was  drafted 
and  served  in  Korea  where  he 
entertained  troops  on  a  homemade 
banjo.  When  he  got  out  of  the  army, 
he  organized  adult  music  recreation 
programs  all  over  Japan  at  the 
request  and  invitation  of  Japan's 
Prince  Mikasa. 

As  a  result  of  his  success  there 
he  won  a  U.S.  State    Department 
Cultrual  Affairs  grant  to  tour 
Southeast  Asia.  Addis  joined  him 
In  Hong  Kong  and  their  partnership 

Addiss  and  Crofut  were  warned 
that  their  performance  was  too 
unusual  to  be  successful.  They  tried 
it  anyway  and  have  been  getting 
rave  reviews  ever  since. 

They  still  resist  writing  a  program, 
wanting  the  freedom  to  keep 
changing  and  responding  to  what 
moves  them  at  the  time.

The  third  regular  meeting 
of  the  Student  Association 
Senate  was  held  Monday  night. 
Chuck  Luster,  off-campus 
temperance  directar,  had  the 
devotional  for  the  evening. 

Then,  Duane  Hallock,  editor 
of  the  SOUTHERN  ACCENT, 
presented  a  request  for  Increase 
in  the  ACCENT'S  budget. 
He  cited  an  increase  in  the  cost 
paper,  and  the  fact  the  ACCENT  is 
publishing  eight-page  issues  this 
year.  This  is  being  done  on  an 
SA  budget  cost  for  four  pages. 
The  ACCENT  hopes  to  increase 
its  advertising  and  raise  other 
funds  to  cover  the  extra  costs. 
Senator  Clark  moved  to  giant 
the  ACCENT  $600.  The 
motion  was  carried. 

Following  that  motion, 
Harry  Haugen,  editor  of  the 
SOUTHERN  MEMORIES 
addressed  the  Senate  regarding 


the  purchase  of  new  dark  room 
equipment.  He  estimated  that 
thecost  would  be  $1550.  After 
much  discussion  and  questioning, 
the  Senate  decided  to  consider 
the  issue  later  before  making 
a  decision. 

Mr.  Ken  Spears,  dean  of 
students,  visited  the  Senate 
and  spoke  of  TV  censorship. 
He  pointed  out  that  there  is 
discussion  in  process  regarding 
the  consistency  of  programming 
in  the  dorms  and  student  center. 

Senators  Burnside,  Dark, 
Bradley,  andMcLarty presented 
the  pros  and  cons  of  the 
fetiibility  of  a  traditional  SA 
project.  It  was  pointed  out, 
and  agreed  upon,  that  some- 
thing which  would  affect 
all  students  would  be  a  worth- 
while project.  Several 
possibilities  were  mentioned. 
Among  them,  Nicaragua,  needy- 


student  fund,  and  others. 

A  committee  is  being  set  up 
to  present  tlie  Senate  with 
several  possibilities  and  cost  of 
projects.  Senator  Haskell 
Williams  is  chairman. 

The  meeting  adjourned  at 
9:06  p.m.

Halloween  party  tonight 


with  the  campus  men's  and 
women's  clubs  to  take  place 
tonight,  Halloween  night,  m  the 
Student  Center. 

According  to  Tim  Thomas, 
SA  social  vice-president,  the  party 
will  be  a  casual  "Come  and  Go" 
affair  that  will  be  in  progrecs 
continuously  from  7:30  to  10:30 
p.m.  He  stated  that  the  party  is 
being  conducted  in  tliis  manner 


because  most  students  are  too 
busy  with  study  to  spend  an 
entire  evening  at  a  highly  struct- 
ured party  on  a  week-night. 

E.O.  Grundset,  social 
committee  sponsor,  promises 
musical  entertainment  and  maybe 
even  a  few  "Ghostly"  cartoons  in 
keeping  with  the  chilling  spirit 
of  Halloween.  Traditional 
refreshments  of  hot  chocolate, 
cider,  and  donuts  will  be  served 
and  a  fun  time  Is  promised  for 


it's  a  sound  idea...

a  half  game  lead  over  Schultz  by

So  far  it  is  hard  to  determine 
which  team  is  most  likely  to  win 
the  title.  Arnold's  2-0  recced  is 
backed  by  a  good  solid  team  with 
plenty  of  speed,  but  there  are 
three  teams  tliat  they  haven't  played 

Schultz  looks  good  so  far  with  fine 
speed  and  two  solid  quarte'cbacks  in 
Bill  Hoover  and  Mike  Schultz. 

Tlie  other  four  teams  (Hellgren, 
Pedcn,  Bumham.  and  Reilly)  all 
have  good  potential  but  just  haven't 
been  able  to  put  it  all  together.

SMC    couple    killed 


Faye  Grove  Bartlett 


Brant  Lewis  Bartlett 


I.D.  card  privileges 
cause  confusion 


IJome  discussion  has  arisen  this  year 
0  the  limitation  of  usage  of  the 
student  identification  card.  For  the 
benefit  of  those  who  are  attending 
SMC  for  the  first  time,  a  brief 
explanation  of  the  background  of 
this  situation  is  warranted. 

Last  year,  students  were  issued 
either  a  wliite  or  blue  I.D.  card. 
Students  holding  white  I.D.  cards 
were  eligible  to  charge  purchases  at 
the  College  Plaza,  in  addition  to 
cafeteria  meals.  The  differentiation 
°f  color  simply  signified  that  owners 
of  the  wliite  cards  had  received  the 
approval  of  their  financial  sponsors 
to  have  purchases  placed  on  their 
statements. 

This  year  has  seen  the  elimination 
™  this  policy,  and  many  of  the  students 
ate  wondering  why.  (Incidentally,  the 
me  cards  this  year  command  the 
'Repurchasing  power  as  the  white 
"ties,  and  were  issued  because  of  a 
shottage  of  white  plastic  cards.) 

The  removal  of  this  system  is  the 
result  of  several  reasons  of  debatable 
™portance.  Many  felt  this  was  done 
0  induce  them  to  eat  in  the  new  cafe- 
'"la.not  only  helping  to  defray  the 
wstot  the  new  building,  but  also  to 
J°*  *c  workers  to  know  approxima- 
J'  ""w  many  students  to  prepare 
'"serve  at  each  meal. 
H  "'""s  thouglit  that  in  addition  to 
lljf  stabilization  of  cafeteria  eating, 
iht'"?  ''°"^  because  certain  students 
"used  their  charging  privileges.  Both 

'n«e  assumptions  are  correct.

he  needed. 

Students  this  year  are  finding  it 
rather  difficult  in  securing  necessary 
items,  in  addition  to  food,  with  the 
allotedSlO.OOC.K.  Book.  Students 
may  secure  additional  books  with  the 
consent  of  their  parents,  however. 

Why  not  screen  the  students  who 
abuse  this  privilege,  instead  of 
penalizing  everyone  for  the  actions 
of  a  few?  Toward  the  latter  part  of 
last  year,  two  methods  were  tried. 
First  of  all,  a  list  of  students  who 
were  keeping  their  accounts  paid 
was  issued  to  the  College  Plaza  mer- 
chants. Then  students  were  required 
to  have  the  number  of  the  respective 
month  punched  on  their  I.D.  card. 

Neither  of  these  methods  proved 
satisfactory.  According  to  Mrs. 
Laurel  Wells,  director  of  student 
finance,  "This  helped,  but  it  didn  t 
remove  all  the  problems."  When  asked 
about  the  system  last  year,  and  the 
reason  for  the  change  this  year,  Mrs._ 
Wells  replied,  "Students  who  couldn  t 
afford  charges,  were  the  ones  that 
misused  the  privilege.  Some  stu- 
dents that  were  almost  entirely 
dependent  on  financial  aid  would  go 
and  charge  items  such  as  stereos  and 
tape  recorders,  running  up  enormous 
debts.  ,        ,    , 

"Even  though  these  students  had 
their  parent's  permission,  many  times 
parents  refused  to  pay  these  out- 
ragious  bUls.    It  was  absolutely  too 
haTd  to  collect.  We  still  have  some  out- 
standing accounts  from  last  year.  It 
wasn't  the  majority,  but  the  minority 
that  refused  to  pay. 

"With  the  new  students  this  year, 
vou  don't  know  who  is  responsible 
and  who  isn't."  Mrs.  Wells  went  on  to 
emphatically  state,  "You  absolutely 
would  not  believe  the  problems  created 
by  this  sytem." 


Brant  Lewis  Bartlett  and  his  wife, 
Faye  Grove  Bartlett,  were  killed  early 
Friday  morning  in  a  one-car  crash  on 
1-75  at  Shallowford  Road.  The  1961 
Volkswagen  they  were  driving  left  the 
road  shortly  after  midnight  and  smashed 
head  on  into  a  concrete  bridge  support. 

Both  were  students  at  SMC.  Brant 
was  a  junior  religion  major,  and  Faye 
was  an  associate  degree  senior  in  office 
administration.  The  couple  was  married 
last  summer,  and  had  been  living  in  the 
Alabama  Apartments  on  Camp  Road  in 


The  impact  of  the  crash  mashed  the 
front  of  the  car  back  to  the  windshield 
and  crumpled  the  top. 

Brant  was  born  in  Indonesia,  where 
his  parents  are  now  serving  as  mission- 
aries. He  is  survived  by  both  parents, 
two  brothers,  and  a  sister. 

Faye  was  a  native  of  Jefferson  County, 
W.  V.  She  is  survived  by  both  her 
parents. 

The  bodies  were  taken  to  Martinsburg, 
W.V.,  where  they  will  be  buried  later 
this  week. 


Chattanooga  patrolman  Charles  Buck, 
who  investigated  the  accident,  said  both 
were  apparently  killed  instantly.  The 
Hamilton  County  Rescue  Squad  worked 
for  10  minutes  before  freeing  the  couple 
from  the  twisted  wreckage.  Both  were 
pronounced  dead  on  arrival  at  Erianger 
Hospital. 


A  special  memorial  service  for  Brant 
and  Faye  Bartlett  will  be  conducted 
Thursday  morningat  11:00a.m.  in  the 
church  sanctuary.   Tliis  service,  which 
will  take  the  place  of  chapel,  will  be 
-presented  by  Elder  Des  Cummings.  Jr.

South  Pole  to  SMC 


Captain  Finn  Ronne  wdl  present 
"High  Adventures  in  Exploration"  tlus 
Saturday  at  8:00  p.m.  in  the  physical 
education  center. 

The  film  is  a  record  of  human 
exploits  from  the  golden  age  of  polar 
exploration  to  the  development  ol  air- 
craft that  hastened  man's  conquest  ot 
earth's  last  frontiers. 

Adventure  seems  to  run  in  the 
Ronne  family.  Finne  Ronne  s  father 
was  a  member  of  the  Capt.  Raold 
Amundsen  expedition  that  reached  the 
south  pole  in  1911. 

Capt.  Ronne's  career  in  polar 
exploration   began  in  1933  when  he 


went  to  Antarctica  as  a  ski-expert, 
dog-driver,  and  trail  operator. 

This  Norweigan-born,  American- 
naturalized  citizen  has  accomphshed 
things  no  explorer  before  him  had 
ever  dreamed  of-and  in  the  process 
he  as  earned  the  gratitude  of  the  U.S. 
government  which  has  awarded  him 
three  Congressional  Medal  for  polar 
exploration  and  science. 

Besides  being  a  world  famous 
explorer  and  geographer,  he  is  also 
an  author  and  lecturer.

Why  things 
don't  qet  done 


0 


Approximately  175  students  convened  in  the 
Student  Center  Wednesday  night  for  a  Halloween 
party.  Now.  that's  a  pretty  good  turnout  for  a 
party  that  didn't  happen.  Many  students  were 
disappointed  that  their  entertainment  had  fallen 
through. 

On  the  surface,  it  appears  that  the  mentioning 
of  this  social  event  sparked  much  interest  from  the 
students.  But  behind  the  scenes,  things  take  on  a 
different  hue. 

A  couple  of  weeks  before  the  time  scheduled  for 
the  party,  plans  were  being  formulated  for  the  evening. 
But  the  final  plans  were  to  be  made  by  a  planning 
committee  of  students. 

Only  one  student  showed  up  for  the  committee 
meeting.  So,  due  to  a  seeming  lack  of  interest, 
the  party  was  cancelled.  (Unfortunately,  the 
Accent  published  the  story  without  a  knowledge 
of  this  cancellation.) 

In  analyzing  the  situation,  there  is  obviously  an 
imbalance  of  a  healthful  equilibrium,  which  seems 
to  have  permeated  most  student  activities  or 
campus. 

It  appears  that  the  majority  of  students  want 
things  done  for  them,  but  they  are  reluctant  to  do 
them.  One  hundred  seventy-five  students  showed  up 
to  enjoy  a  party.  One  student  showed  up  to  plan 
the  party. 

Perhaps  the  cited  case  is  not  the  best  exemplification 
of  the  point  at  hand  because  everyone  was  invited  to 
the  party,  and  not  everyone  was  invited  to  the 
committee  meeting.  However,  the  fact  still  remains 
that  it  is  difficult  to  find  students  willing  to  accept 
the  authority  and  responsibility  necessary  to  get 
things  done. 

Let's  focus  m  on  the  Student  Association  itself. 
Hie  sole  purpose  of  the  SA  is  to  improve  student  life 
on  campus.  The  college  could  function  without  a 
SA,  but  students  are  better  off  because  there  is  an 
association  of  the  students. 

Tlie  SA  is  not  merely  the  officers  elected  by  the 
student  body  last  spring.  The  SA  is  made  up  of  the 
students,  and  the  dected  officas  are  merely  those 
chosen  to  represent  the  students  in  various  prescribed 
capactities. 

Don't  expect  things  to  be  done  unless  enough 
people  are  interested  in  helping  get  them  done.  The 
real  fulfiUment  comes,  not  in  having  things  done  for 
you,  but  in  participating  in  helping  get  the  thmgs 
done.  Don't  complain  about  not  having  things  done 
for  you  unless  you  have  honesUy  attempted  to 
involve  yourself  with  the  various  forms  of  gettins 
things  done.  *

those  were  the  days . . , 


L 


A 


0  ,  .". 


Once  upon  a  time,  a  long  time 
ago,  a  certain  feudal  estate  existed  in 
a  peaceful,  little  valley. 

The  center,  of  this  estate  was 
commonly  referred  to  as  Thgirw 
Castle.  One  couldn't  miss  the  structure 
for   it  was  well  illuminated  at  night. 

Humble  serfs  existed  in  their 
small  abodes  on  either  side  of  the 
castle.  The  serfs  were  allowed  to 
wander  around  on  the  estate  grounds 
during  the  day,  but  at  precisely 
10:30  every  night,  they  were  locked 
into  their  dungeons  to  protect  them 
from  barbarian  enemies  on  the 
opposite  sides  of  the  stone  walls. 

Each  night  the  serfs  were  required 
to  file  into  a  small  cubicle  and 
listen  to  designated  nobility  tell  them 
how  great  it  was  to  live  in  a  feudal 
system,  and  conform  to  the  rules 
of  their  small  society. 

These  pep-talks  echoed  off  the 
walls  for  fifteen  minutes  or  so, 
and  then  the  serfs  were  allowed  to 
go  back  to  their  respective  cells 
to  ponder  the  system. 

The  serfs,  for  the  most  part,  did 
not  give  much  thouglit  to  attending 
these  required  nightly  meetings. 
But  as  long  as  the  estate  had  been 
under  this  type  of  rule,  there  had 
always  been  heretics  who  resented 
the  coercion  of  the  nobility  to  attend 
these  sessions. 

Some  of  the  nobility,  however, 
considered  it  a  very  serious  offense 
to  miss  more  than  a  certain  number  of 
these  lectures.  A  "lecture-skipper" 
was  considered  a  criminal.  The 
letters  "LS"  were  even  branded  upon 
his  chest,  to  follow  him  through  his 
life  and  remind  others  that  he  was 
someone  to  keep  on  eye  on. 


Those  who  failed  to  bodily  attend 
a  certain  quota  of  these  nightly 
talks  were  severely  dealt  with.  The 
dukes  who  patrolled  the  serfs's 
residences  were  very  well  versed  in 
the  letter  of  the  law  as  recorded  in 
the  Scrolls  of  Conduct.  The  more 
serious  offenders  were  issued  Parch- 
ment of  Warning,  which  meant  that 
they  were  suspected  of  not  confirmin|| 
to  the  system.  With  the  Parchments 
also  came  threats  of  being  ostracized 
from  the  peaceful  valley. 

It  even  seemed  that  those  who 
were  so  concerned  about  the  atten- 
dance of  these  meetings  tended  to 
neglect  the  other  facets  of  the  lives 
of  the  serfs.  The  important  thing 
to  thein  was  whether  they  were 
present  each  evening. 

One  era  of  the  history  of  the  eslale  I 
will  be  remembered  in  infamy.  This   [ 
was  a  time  of  defiance  on  the  pari  of  I 
the  serfs.  Due  to  no  adequate  reasons,! 
they  began  absenting  themselves 
from  the  nightly  sessions.  And,  in 
I    this  notorious  era  of  time,  many  more  | 
than  the  usual  Parchments  were  sent 
out.  Now,  this  began  to  worry  some 
of  the  nobility.  You  see.  the  supply 
of  sheep  in  the  fold  began  to  dwindle  I 
(Sheep  skin,  as  everyone  knows,  is 
what  parchment  is  made  of.) 

The  situation  worsened,  and  it  was  I 
evident  that  a  real  crisis  was  on  hand.  [ 

But  it  looks  like  this  story  will 
have  to  be  cut  short -worship  is 
over,  and  the  R.A.  is  waiting  to 
collect  the  computer  attendance 
cards.

Distinctive, 
jw  uniforms 
ordered  for 
nursing 

students 


A.D.  Nursing  students  will  soon 
be  wearing  "a  distinctive  and 
completely  new  uniform,"  according 
to  Mrs.  Lenna  Lee  Davidson,  instructor 
in  nursing  at  SMC. 

From  the  present  green  uniform, 
the  change  will  be  to  a  differently 
styled  blue  uniform.  The  medium 
blue  and  white  feather-stripe  dresses 
for  the  women  will  be  line-styled 
with  navy  blue  collars  and  will  have 
a  detachable  white  panel,  bordered 
in  navy  blue  on  the  front. 

The  hats  for  the  students  will  re- 
main the  same.  The  first-year  students 
have  white  hats  and  second-year 
students  have  white  hats  with  a  black 
velvet  stripe  on  the  left  side. 

The  men's  uniforms  consist  of 
white  slacks  and  medium  blue  and 
white  feather-stripe  tunics  with  navy 
blue  collars.  Second  year  male 
students  have  a  black  stripe  under  the 
insignia  on  the  left  sleeve  of  the  tunic. 

Until  arrival  of  the  new  uniforms, 
the  first -year  A.D.  students  will 
continue  to  wear  white  uniforms 
to  laboratory  periods,  while  the 
second-year  students  will  wear  their 
green  uniforms  for  the  rest  of  the 
year. 

Next  year  all  A.D.  Nursing 
students  will  wear  the  blue  and  white 
uniforms.  The  change  is  necessary 
because  the  green  material  is  no  longer 
available  for  new  uniforms.

The  Modern  Languages  Depart- 
ment of  SMC,  in  conjunction  with  all 
German  classes  in  the  Collegedale 
school  system,  is  sponsoring  a  22-day 
tour,  open  to  anyone,  to  Germany  and 
the  immediately  surrounding  area  next 
spring.  Tentative  plans  are  for  the 
group  to  depart  from  New  York  City 
on  May  15,1 974,  and  return  the 
first  week  of  June. 

The  price  of  last  year's  trip  to  Ger- 
many was  $651  per  person.  However, 
due  to  inflation,  an  increase  of 
approximately  fifteen  per  cent  is 
expected.  The  fee  includes  the  flight 
to  and  from  Germany,  transportation, 
hotel,  entrance  fees,  and  one  meal  a 
day.  In  addition,  the  return  flight 
ticket  is  good  for  45  days  which  makes 
it  possible  for  the  individual  to  spend 
a  few  extra  weeks  overseas  on  his 
own  if  he  wishes  to. 

According  to  Dr.  Rudolf  Aussner, 
associate  professor  of  modern  language, 
a  bus  with  a  capacity  of  45  persons  has 
been  hired  for  the  tour.  If  the  group 
becomes  too  large  another  bus  will  be 
acquired.  Also,  transportation  from 
Collegedale  to  New  York  will  be 
available  for  those  who  need  it. 
The  price  for  this  service  was  $22.12 
last  year,  but  again,  some  increase 
can  be  expected. 

The  tour  group  will  begin  in  West 
Germany,  staying  over  the  first  Sab- 
bath at  Seminar  Marienhohe,  an 
Adventist  college  in  Darmstadt. 
From  there  they  will  swing  south, 
stopping  at  several  high  points  in 
France,  Switzerland,  and  Austria. 

The  second  Sabbath  will  be  spent 
at  Seminar  Bogenhofen  in  Austria, 
another  SDA  insitution,  before  the 
tourists  head  back  througli  West 
Germany  to  East  Germany  in  time  for 
the  third  weekend  at  Friedensau 
near  Magdeburg.  Some  time  will  be 
spent  in  Berlin  before  returning  to 
Colognes  for  the  flight  to  the  home 
states. 

The  group  will  spend  about  four 
days  behind  the  Iron  Curtain,  where 
they  will  see  many  sites  of  historic 
interest,  such  as  Wittenberg,  where 
Martin  Luther  exposed  his  Ninety- 
five  Theses.  But  perhaps  more 
important  will  be  the  opportunity 
for  the  students  to  compare  the  free- 
dom of  the  East  Germans  to  that  of 
Americans. 


Tliose  who  are  eligible  can  receive 
three  hours  of  college  credit,  appli- 
cable to  upper  or  lower  division 
major,  minor,  or  electives.  It  is 
hoped  that  the  tour  will  encourage 
foreign  study  and  also  acquaint  the 
tourist  with  the  habits  and  cultures 
of  other  nations.  Dr.  Aussner  will 
be  available  to  answer  any  questions 
concerning  the  tour,     ^y  Sandy  Lies 


Bob  May 

discusses 

teaching 

at  SMC 

The  Behavioral  Science  Department 
has  acquired  a  new  personality  this 
semester,  Mr.  Bob  May,  instructor  of 
psychology,  who  is  currently  teacliing 
three  classes;  general  psychology, 
developmental  psychology,  and  general 
sociology. 

Teaching  is  a  new  experience  for 
Mr.  May.  He  says,  "I  didn't  realize 
that  teaching  would  be  so  exhausting, 
but  sometimes  at  the  end  of  the  day-l 
am  shot!  Also  getting  to  know  the 
students  is  hard;  the  ones  that  speak 
up  in  class-it's  easier  to  remember 
their  names.  But  the  quiet  ones?  I 
feel  for  them;  they  should  say  some- 
tliing." 

The  college  scene ,  still  very 
recent,  is  fresh  in  Mr.  May's  mind  and 
he  recommends  that  freshmen  "sit 
down  and  figure  out  what  is  important 
in  their  life-evaluate  themselves. 
Discover  who  they  are;  that's  probably 
the  key  thing." 

For  college  experience  to  be 
valuable,  he  says,  "you've  got  to 
become  a  believer-you've  got  to  know 
what  you  want  and  how  to  get  it. 
3ut  it  does  take  time  to  set  your  values. 
It  is  so  good  to  mature." 

Mr.  May  likes  the  location  of  SMC, 
"The  air  is  ftesh,  no  smog  like  Los 
Angeles.  In  some  respects  I  like  SMC 
since  it  is  away  from  the  big  city,  but 
it  misses  the  cultural  aspects  of  the 
bigger  cities.  1  do  notice,  however, 
that  the  spiritual  atmosphere  is 
more  pervasive."  But  there's  one 
thing  that  he  says  he  must  adjust  to, 
"There's  a  cultural  difference  here- 
the  pace  is  slower." 

Presently  Mr.  May,  who  is  single, 
is  living  in  Talge  Hall,  where  he  can 
be  "closer  to  people,  activities,  and 
to  my  office." 

Mr.  May  received  his  B.S.  degree  in 
psychology  from  La  Sierra  College, 
La  Sierra,  Calif.,  in  1972.  He  is 
continuing  his  graduate  work  for  a 
M.A.  degree  in  school  psychology, 
also  from  La  Sierra.  "Eventually  1 
hope  to  get  a  Ph.D.,"  says  May.

I.D.  Cards  lamtimieJ  fnmt  page  II 

A  common  complaint  of  students 
this  year  is  that  tliey  are  frequently 
inconvenienced  by  the  inability  to  buy 

ugh  food  with  annoying  C.K. 
books  or  their  limited  casli  supply  in 
order  to  cut  down  on  cafeteria 
charges  above  the  S40.00  minimum. 

Last  year,  during  the  second  sem- 
ester, the  Village  Market  received 
S3,753  per  week  in  student  sales  revenue 
on  an  average  weekly  basis.  During  the 
first  part  of  this  semester,  student 
sales  have  averaged  approximately 
SI.IOO  per  week.  This  is  a  consider- 
able reduction  of  almost  70%. 

Wlien  Mr.  CUff  Myers,  manager  of 
the  Village  Market,  was  questioned 
r.bout  this  situation,  he  replied, 
•Working  here  at  the  store,  I  approve 
of  the  system  used  last  year,  where 
students  were  allowed  to  buy  more 
merchandise  from  the  market.  But 
working  as  part  of  the  college,  I 
understand  their  viewpoint,  and  am 
willing  to  cooperate  with  them. 

"Being  the  manager  of  the  store, 
1  naturally  am  concerned  with  in- 
creasing sales,  but  I  must  back  up 
and  see  the  goal  for  which  we  are 
both  striving,  that  of  providing  a 
Christian  education  for  any  students 


dosser  and  Bacheller 
place  first  in  road  rally 


"5....4....3....2....I  "  was  the  sound 
being  heard  as  each  car  took  it's  place 
in  the  road  rally  held  last  Sunday,  in 
which  Bruce  Closser  and  Bruce 
Bacheller  were  first-place  winners. 
Ken  Fuller  and  Greg  Martin  placed  second. 
Eight  cars  participated  in  the  rally 
with  each  car  containing  a  driver  and 
a  navigator. 

The  rally,  which  started  in  back 
of  the  gymnasium,  consisted  of  a 
total  of  eighty  -seven  miles  to  be 
traveled,  which  the  contestants 
weren't  aware  of  before  starting  the 
rally. 

Tlie  rally  encompassed  territory  as 
far  north  as  Cleveland,  Tenn.,  and  as 
far  south  as  Ringold,  Ga.,  with  the 
average  speed  of  37  mph  the  traveling 
time  would  have  taken  2  hours  and 
21  minutes. 

The  rally  this  year  was  different  from 


the  previous  ones  in  the  fact  that  there 
were  no  manned  check-points,  and 
the  drivers  used  their  own  instructions. 
Each  car  was  given  a  sheet  of  questions 
that  had  to  be  answered  by  going  to 
the  specified  points. 

If  the  questions  were  answered 
wrong  points  were  added.  Also, 
points  were  added  if  late  or  early  and 
if  the  mileage  was  short  or  long. 
Tlie  car  with  the  fewest  points  was  the 
final  winner. 

Greg  Keeney,  Gary  Keeney,  and 
Steve  Snowder  were  responsible  for 
charting  the  route.  The  road  rally 
was  sponsored  by  Men's  Club,  Southern 
Missionary  College,  McKee  Bakery, 
Computer  Spectrum,  and  Central 
Camera  Repair. 

Trophies  will  be  given  to  the  first, 
second,  place  for  navigators  and  drivers.

lome  economics  dept. 
inducts  nursery  school 
for  preschoolers 


November  7, 1973  The  Southe 


The  Home  Economics  Department  is 
inducting  a  nursery  school  for  children 
,„ee  and  four  years  of  age  from  9:00  to 
'2:00  Monday  and  Thursday  mornings  in 
jummerour  Hall. 
Though  the  nursery  serves  as  a  lab- 
atory  where  the  "Understanding  Young 
lildten"  class  may  observe  pre-schoolers 
St  hand,  students  do  not  actually  work 
th  the  children;  rather,  the  nursery  is 
ipeivised  by  Mrs.  Norman  Peek  and 
her  assistant,  Anita  Norrell,  a  freshman 
from  Pell  City,  Ala. 

This  year's  nursery  involves  1 5 
children  of  varying  backgrounds  who 
live  in  the  Collegedale  community. 
Though  the  nursery  is  not  advertised 
except  by  word  of  mouth,  there  is  a 
waiting  list  for  entrance,  partly  because 
the  nursery  is  operated  only  during  the 
semester.  Parents  are  charged  a 
Icen  fee  of  $15.00  for  60  hours  of 
struction. 

The  nursery  was  begun  1 6  years  ago 
Mrs.  Thelma  Cushman,  associate 
ofessor  of  home  economics,  for  the 
;hild  Development"  class.  Previous  to 
,  students  were  required  to  visit  with 
5  children  in  their  homes. 
Now  students  may  observe  the  children 
)m  an  observation  booth  disguised  he- 
ld a  one-way  glass  and  equipped  with  a 
le-way  intercom  to  monitor  sound  from 

nursery.  The  nursery  itself  is  a  large 
Dm,  modernly  styled,  including  a 
chenette.  All  furniture  and  facilities 
scaled  down  to  child  size.  Furniture 


is  molded  plastic  rather  than  wood  or 
metal,  in  an  attempt  to  eliminate  the 
danger  of  pinched  fingers  or  splintered 
hands. 

Outdoors,  adjacent  to  the  nursery,  is 
a  wall ed-off  area  with  a  cement  floor 
for  tricycling  and  a  large  triangular  sand- 
box. Beyond  the  low  wall  in  a  grassy 
area  are  swings  and  monkey  bars. 

Indoors,  children  have  access  to  a 
large  variety  of  toys,  but  they  prefer 
finger  painting,  paper  cutting,  pasting, 
and  playing  with  clay.  "The  children 
enjoy  simple  things  most,"  says  Mrs. 
Cushman.  "Their  favorite  game  is 
playing  house  in  some  cardboard  boxes 
that  freezers  were  shipped  in." 

The  nursery  program  is  one  of 
spontaneous  play.  Directed  group 
activities  such  as  "Drop  the  Hand- 
kerchief are  kept  to  a  minimum. 
The  nursery  is  not  a  baby-sitting 
agency,  but  it  strives  to  aid  the  clrildren 
in  their  development.  The  children  help 
clean  the  room  by  putting  away  their  own 
toys.  They  help  prepare  their  own  lunch, 
such  as  scrubbing  the  potatoes  to  be 
baked  and  cutting  out  and  decorating 
cookies.  The  nursery  tries  to  especially 
accommodate  "only  children"  or 
foreign  children  who  need  to  master 
English. 

"Most  of  the  mothers  who  bring 
their  children  are  not  working 
mothers,"  states  Mrs.  Cushman,  "but 
bring  their  children  for  the  good  done 
the  child.  Most  stay  and  observe  from 
the  observation  booth."

SA  to  bring  Tom  Duro 
to  Nov.  13  chapel 


On  Tuesday  the  Student  Association 
will  present  Mr.  Tom  Dure,  who  will 
he  speaking  on  "Seduction,  Education, 
^nd  Paper  Heroes"  during  the  1 1  ;00 
^liapel. 

Mr.  Duro  is  a  rare  combination 
l.'cturer.  philosopher,  story-teller, 
humorist,  and  educator  whose 
versitalitv  seemingly  knows  no 
hounds.  As  a  fellow  whose  adult  life 
got  off  to  a  very  slow  start,  his 
agonizing  search  for  career  fulfill- 
ment and  peace  of  mind  led  him  through 
a  series  of  diverse  career  efforts 
ranging  from  the  professional  to  the 
unskilled  challenges  of  man. 

His  evolution  to  significance  saw 
him  gain  recognition  as  a  photographic 
model,  produces  and  actor  in  TV 
commercials,  and  host  of  his  own  TV 
talk  show.  As  a  human  relations  and 
sales  consultant,  he  works  with  several 
of  the  largest  companies  in  the  country. 


The  State  Department  taped  his  voice 
ibr  a  Voice  of  America  broadcast 
beliind  the  Iron  Curtain. 

Today  Tom  Duro  is  one  of  the 
greatest  natural  speakers  on  the 
American  scene  and  he  is  sought 
after  for  his  vintage  philosophy 
and  creative  conglomerate  of  common 
sense  by  which  students  and  faculty 
alike  can  grow. 

As  he  tells  his  story,  which  has 
been  deemed  a  serio-comic  drama  of 
classic  proportions,  he  shares  his 
self-evaluation  with  his  listerners  and 
challenges  them  to  look  in  the  mirros 
of  their  own  li\es  .  And  when  it's 
over,  many  find  that  Tom  Duro  has 
led  them  inescapably  to  the  conclusion 
tliat  if  he  can  make  it,  anybody  can.

V.I.P.'s  may  visit  campus 
this  school   year 


Increased  speculation  over  the  pos- 
sibility of  Governor  Winfield  Dunn, 
Senator  Howard  Baker,  and  singer 
Johnny  Cash  appearing  at  the  college 
for  secular  chapels  in  the  upcoming  months 
has  arisen  over  the  past  few  weeks. 

The  SA.  along  with  the  International 
Relations  Club,  an  organization  of  the 
history  majors,  has  been  negotiating  on 
the  possibilities  of  these  visits. 

Consideration  has  been  given  to 
inviting  students  and  faculty  from  other 
colleges  in  Hamilton  and  Bradley  Counties 


to  come  to  SMC  in  order  to  enhance 
relations  with  other  institutions. 

"Moose"  Smith,  executive  vice 
president  of  the  SA,  when  asked  about 
the  chances  of  these  men  coming,  replied, 
"No  definite  confirmations  have  been 
attained  yet,  but  correspondence  has 
been  exchanged  with  these  individuals. 
We  don't  want  to  create  an  overly  op- 
timistic outlook,  but  we  want  to  let  the 
the  students  know  we  are  working  on  the 
matter."

jig  the  rezoning  of  the  land  be- 
ji  Moore  Rd.,  and  Camp  Rd., 
leen  set  at  so  late  a  date  as  Nov.

Seauiu 


Xo, 


unqe 


and  other  questions  concerning  the 
rezoning  be  brought  up  at  the  Nov. 
26  hearing. 

City  Manager  Doug  Keller  suggested 
a  bus-stop  shelter  be  purchased  and  built 
for  the  city.  The  shelter  would  be 
made  of  clear,  unbreakable  plastic, 
and  would  measure  seven  and  one-half 
feet  by  five  feet. 

Attorney  McColpin  suggested  that 
the  Chattanooga  Area  Regional  Trans- 
portation Authority  (CARTA)  would 
soon  have  funds  available  and  that 
this  might  save  the  city  some  money. 
It  was  decided  that  the  city  attorney 
should  talk  with  the  CARTA  Board 
and  bring  a  report  back  to  the  next 
council  meeting. 

Manager  Keller,  in  other  items, 
made  some  proposals  that  would  set 
up  a  method  of  enforcing  the  building 
codes  for  the  city  of  Collegedale. 
The  proposals  would  also  set  minimum 
standards  for  septic  tank  systems  and 
for  drive  way  culverts.  A  builder 
would  have  to  bring  two  copies  of 
the  plans  for  the  proposed  project 
to  the  city  engineer's  office,  one  of 
which  would  be  kept  on  file,  the 
second  of  which  would  be  returned 
to  the  builder  with  the  recommendation 
of  the  city  engineer  and  a  copy  of  the 
ordinance. 

The  ordinance  would  allow  the  city 
engineer  to  require  more  than  mini- 
mum specifications  if  he  feels  that 
the  minimum  is  not  enough  to  handle 
the  particular  project. 

There  would  be  inspections  for 
each  new  driveway  and  each  new 
septic  tank  field  lines.  During  the 
building  of  a  structure,  there  would 
be  five  inspections:  (I)  inspection  of 
temporary  electric  supply  to  the 
building  site,  (2)  inspection  of  footing 
trenches  before  the  footing  is  poured, 
(3)  inspection  of  structure  before  the 
walls  are  closed,  (4)  inspection  of 
septice  lank  system  before  it  is 
covered,  and  (5)  a  final  general 
inspection  after  building  is  completed. 

Commissioner  Vandevere  moved 
that  the  city  attorney,  in  consultation 
with  the  city  engineer  and  other 
construction  professionals,  draw  up 
an  ordiance  which  could  be  presented 
at  the  next  meeting.  Corrmiissioner 
Herrell  seconded  that  motion  which 
was  then  unanimously  passed. 

Manager  Keller  noted  that  the 
Collegedale  Police  Department, 
through  its  Detective  Division,  re- 
covered $3,000  worth  of  personal 
property.  The  Police  Department 
has  investigated  seven  burglaries-five 
businesses,  one  home,  and  one 
entering  without  breaking. 

The  reserve  officer  force  worked  a 
total  of  415  hours,  and  the  force  covered 
6600  miles  on  patrol.  1635  students  in 
the  Collegedale  area  were  participants  in 
bicycle  and  narcotics  safety  programs. 
Four  policemen  received  letters  of 
commendation. 

Vice-Mayor  Bowen  then  presented 
a  brief  report  on  city  streets  and  side- 
walks. The  section  of  walks  from 
Collegedale  Academy  to  the  shopping 
plaza  has  been  completed.  This  was  a 
joint  project  between  SMC,  the 
Collegedale  Church,  and  the  city  of 


Collegedale  Cobinets,

Tlie  bridge  over  Wolftever  Creek 
is  a  joint  city  of  Coilegedale-HamUton 
County  project.  One  of  the  reasons 
for  the  slowness  of  project's 
completion  is  the  fact  that  the  county 
is  using  prison  help. 

Commissioner  Vandevere  presented 
a  report  urging  the  revision  of  the 
city  budget.  He  cited  large  overruns 
in  the  various  miscellaneous  accounts 
asoneof  several  reasons.  He  noted 
that  a  large  portion  of  the  overruns 
were  items  that  should  have  been 
charged  to  other  accounts,  but  stated 
that,  even  with  these  items  deducted, 
the  evidence  showed  that  the  various 
miscellaneous  accounts  had  been  under- 
budgeted. 

It  was  agreed  that  the  city  manager 
and  the  treasurer  will  study  the 
budget  and  bring  revision  proposals 
to  the  next  Council  Meeting- 

A  some-what  excited  discussion 
was  held  on  the  problem  of  stray  dogs 
and  dogs  which  scatter  garbage  in 


Collegedale.  It  was  moved  by  Com- 
missioner Vandevere  that  a  committee 
be  formed  to  study  the  problem  and 
bring  recommendations  to  the  City 
Commission,  at  its  next  meeting. 

The  committee  consists  of  the 
following:  (1)  City  Health  Office, 
chairman,  (2)  City  Manager,  vice- 
chairman,  (3)  city  attorney,  (4) 
Mr.  Costairson,  (5)  Mrs.  Radford, 
and  (6)  Dr.  Swinyar.  The  motion 
was  seconded  by  Vice-Mayor 
Bowen  and  was  unanimously  ac- 
cepted. 

The  Commission  then  passed  upon 
first  reading  new  tax-zoning  maps  for 
the  city  of  Collegedale. 

The  third  reading  of  a  new  business 
tax  ordinance,  whereby  all  businesses 
would  pay  a  minimum  of  fifteen 
dollars  per  year.,  and  other-wise 
pay  be  percent  of  sales  according  tc 
three  categories,  was  unanimously 
passed.  The  rates  are  1/40,  1/20 
and  1/lOof  one  percent  sales. 

The  meeting  was  adjourned  at 
9:35  p.m.     |,y  Stephen  Jones 


Collegedale  Medical 

Center 
burglarized  in  attempt 
to  obtain  drugs 


The  Collegedale  Medical  Center  was 
burglarized  about  8:45  last  Tuesday 
night,  Oct.  30,  in  attempt  to  obtain 
drugs,  according  to  D.E.  Keller, 
chief  of  police. 

PoUce  were  notified  of  an  alarm 
ringing  in  the  medical  center  by 
Stanley  Walker,  professor  of  music 
for  the  college,  who  was  working  in 
the  Collegedale  SDA  Church  across 
the  street  from  the  building.  Mr. 
Walker  said  he  stepped  outside  the 
church  when  an  unidentified  little 
girl  tapped  on  the  window  of  his 
office  and  told  him  an  alarm  was 
ringing  across  the  road.  While  out- 
side Mr.  Walker  saw  two  whites  males 
running  from  the  medical  center  so 
he  called  the  police. 

Sgt.  Bill  Rawson  was  on  the 
scene  two  minutes  after  receiving  the 
call  and  was  later  joined  by  officers 
from  Detective  Division  and  by  Chief 
Keller. 


The  thieves  entered  the  building 
by  smashing  a  glass  panel  in  the  rear, 
thereby  avoiding  actuation  of  an 
automatic  alarm  system.  Once  inside 
the  building,  a  sledge  hammer  was 
used  to  make  a  hole  through  a 
cement  block  wall  into  the  pharmacy. 

After  gathering  a  large  amount 
of  antibiotic  drugs,  thieves  apparently 
left  through  the  door  of  the  pharmacy, 
actuating  the  alarm  Mr.  Walker  heard. 
In  their  flight  from  the  building  the 
thieves  dropped  some  of  the  drugs, 
which  pohce  later  recovered. 

That  same  evening  one  suspect 
was  questioned  by  Det.  Lt.  Dave 
Goodman  and  Chief  Keller,  then  re- 
leased. Investigation  is  continuing. 

During  the  previous  month  of 
October,  CoUegedale  Police  Detective 
Division  made  9  arrests  and  recovered 
$4,000.00  in  stolen  property.

^V^en^  Qof 


"Come  on,  and  take  a  free  ride,"  goes  a  popular 
song.  To  the  chagrin  of  many  unwilling  SMC 
students,  increased  costs  and  food  shortages  are 
forcing  them  to  go  along  for  the  ride.  And  the 
Euture  looks  expensive  indeed. 


Jhose  that  pick  up  the  tab  for  their  eating  have 
Vioticed  that  it's  a  pay-or-starve  situation.  For 
instance,  a  dinner  consisting  of  Croquettes,  a 
vegetable,  an  eight  ounce  carton  of  whole  milk, 
jcake  and  a  tossed  salad  which  cost  $1 .24  last  year 
pow  costs  $1.50--a  "heapin'  helpin"  of  a  21  per 
pent  increase.  Some  food  prices  have  not  risen 
Btastically,such  as  cereal   $.12-$. 15;  orange 
luice,  S.20-$.20,  and  toast,  $.06-$.06.  But  entree 
items  have  increased  anywhere  from  $.05-$. 10; 
lorexaraple,Croquettes,  $.30-$.4O;  pizza,  $.35- 
1.40,  and  hot  sandwiches  from  $.30-$.40. 


» will  this  affect  the  typical  SMC  student? 


For  one  thing,  if  one  were  to  eat  less  than  the  $40 
mnimum,  he  would  have  to  limit  himself  to  less 
|hanS133  a  day-a  crash  diet!  In  reaHty  students 
|an  expect  a  1 5-20  per  cent  increase  in  their  board 
Ml.  That  means  that  last  year's  $70  feed  bill  will 
mcrease  to  a  hard-to-swallow  $90-$  100.  On  stu- 
tent  was  shocked  when  he  received  his  Sept.  30 
Itatement-with  a  $105  cafeteria  tab. 


Tio  can  be  blamed  for  this  wallet-thinning  develop- 
|i™t?  Probably  no  single  individual.  Rather  it's 
fcflecfions  of  the  economic  and  agricultural-  situation. 

[griculturally,  poor  crops  and  poor  weather  conditions 
pve  decimated  some  crops  by  40  per  cent,  according 
Ji  Robert  M.  Raffel,  purchaser  for  Chattanooga  Food 
listribuiors.  Inc.  Other  crops  are  unpredictable  and 
ft'-  "I  feel,  at  this  time,  that  it  will  take  approx- 
Y'tciy  3-5  years  to  bring  the  crop  situation  back 
f  normal,"  stated  Raffel. 


pnoniically,  according  to  Grange  and  Raffel, 
ficcs  will  not  be  coming  down.  "The  farmer  has 
I""''  '•>  way  to  get  the  price  he  wants,"  is  their 
Pncurrcnt  opinion.  Costs  for  these  foods  are  the  main 
f"se  for  increased  prices-wages  have  remained  stable. 
'  RC.  Mills,  college  manager  stated  that,  "We're 
"ig  to  keep  the  wages  down ,  but  you  can't 
I^P  them  down  too  long  when  the  people  that  are 
piking  for  us  have  to  go  out  and  pay  these  higher 


|°*  ''3S  the  cafeteria  been  affected? 


pording  to  Ron  Grange,  food  service  director  for 
«  cafeteria,  "Food  costs,  to  us,  have  gone 


c

IP  18-22 


Pef  cent,  that's  just  the  average.' 


© 


Products  are  hard  to  get.  Entrees;  for  example, 
"Tasty  Cuts,"  "Tenderbits,"  "Ruskets"  and  other 
Loma  Linda  products  are  unavailable.  "Loma  Linda 
has  cut  back  the  items  they're  offering  about  in 
half.  Even  Worthington  is  discontinuing  some 
items;  "Saucettes,"  "Chickettes,  "  maybe  some 
others,"  said  Grange. 


Entrees  aren't  the  only  commodity  getting  short. 
"Borden's  has  just  taken  all  their  cheese  off  the 
market.  Kraft  is  going  to  be  withdrawing  its 
cheese  too.  I'm  trying  to  buy  some  cheese 
now  before  they  completely  with- 
draw. It  may  be  a  temporary  withdraw- 
we  don't  know,"  Grange  related. 


Along  with  the  difficulty  of  obtaining  products 
comes  an  astronomical  price  jump  in  most  areas. 
For  instances.  Grange  was  able  to  purchase  "Little 
Red"  beans  for  $16  per  one-hundred  pounds  last 
year.  When  he  ordered  them  during  the  first  week 
of  November  the  price  was  up  to  $43  per  one- 
hundred  pounds-a  budget  crunching  270  per  cent 


But  take  heart-there  will  not  be  a  "food  shortage" 
as  such.  "Agricultural  economists  have  told  us 
that  there  will  be  some  reshuffling  of  priorities  on 
foods,  but  they  don't  feel  that  a  rationing  of  food 
will  occur,"  said  Mills.  Many  are  learning  to  sub- 
stitute available  products  for  those  whcih  are  not 
available.  So  instead  of  eating  $.35  cakes  and 
desserts,  eat  $.35  tossed  salads,  and  change  into 
a  healthy  SMC  lettuce  eater-that  way  tht 
transition  to  leaves,  twigs,  grass  and  bark 
won't  be  so  shocking.

Where  are  You  Going? 

Wc  ^e  now  on  the  last  lap  of  the  first  semester.  Mid- 
EJ  term  exams  are  over  and  midterm  grades  have  been  assigned. 

^"^  Now  is  the  last  chance  for  some  of  us  to  cram  in  that  work 

we've  been  putting  off  till  the  very  last  minute  in  a 
final,  gallant  attempt  to  raise  our  standing  as  college  stu- 
dents. It  is  a  time  when  gallons  of  the  figurative  midnight 
oil  will  be  burned,  and  a  time  when  puffy,  red-rimmed  eyes 
will  appear  on  many  faces.  At  a  time  like  this  we  often 
/*  ^^  ask.  "Is  that  all  there  is  to  education?"  "Is  it  really  worth 

'^  ^  all  that?" 

Can  we  be  considered  educated  just  because  we  have 

^"^"^"^"^  crammed  a  certain  amount  of  "Knowledge"  into  our  heads 

or  because  we  have  turned  out  a  specific  number  of  assign- 
ments? Is  it  right  or  even  intelligent  to  abuse  health  and 
other  principles  just  to  accomplish  an  objective  which  may 
even  by  a  questionable  one  at  best?  I  reaUze  that  these 
questions  have  been  raised  hundreds  of  times  before.  But 
why,  if  we  know  the  consequences  of  "knowing  everything," 
do  we  consider  this  obtaining  of  facts  the  supreme  objective 
of  our  education? 

1  think  that  as  the  new  semester  approaches,  both 
students  and  teachers  should  again  reevaluate  their  aims. 
What  is  the  value  of  the  knowledge  we  are  seeking?  What 
kind  of  truth  or  knowledge  should  be  presented? 

As  a  Christian  school,  we  have  admitted  that  our  search 
for  knowledge  is  governed  by  specific  principles  that  were 
set  down  by  our  Lord. 

Yet  we  often  tackle  so  much  material  in  so  short  a  time 
that  little  if  any  serious  thought  is  given  to  any  one  point. 
We  emphasize  memory  work  instead  of  encouraging  the 
development  of  critical  thinking  skills. 

There  are  some  things  that  the  student  can  do  to  make 
his  education    more  meaningful  to  himself,  and  more 
relevant  to  his  goals. 

Students  should  seriously  consider  what  they  want  out 
of  school  and  look  at  their  goals  in  terms  of  what  must  be 
accomplished  here  and  now. 

I  I'eel  that  we  as  students  can  and  should  make  our  own 
education  worthwhile. 

Let's  all  work  together  to  make  next  semester  more 
meaningful  to  ourselves.  Keep  your  eyes  on  the  goals  and 
keep  your  fingers  crossed! 


Remember  Me 


It  must  be  an  inherent  quality  of  every  one  to  make 
a  name  for  himself  during  his  short  span  of  life  here  on 
earth.  And  it  is  very  interesting  to  observe  the  various 
methods  people  use  to  accomplish  this  goal. 

Some  attempt  to  gain  their  prestige  with  a  4.0  grade 
point  average,  while  others  make  a  name  for  themselves 
by  then:  athletic  sicills.  Others  attempt  to  establish  a 
reputation  by  becoming  involved  in  student  activities. 
A  very  few  are  content  to  avoid  the  limelight  in  the 
effort  to  simply  make  the  worid  a  better  place  to  live. 

This  past  week  several  endeavored  to  immortalize 
their  names  here  on  the  SMC  campus.  They  wrote  their 
names  in  the  wet  cement  of  the  newly  constructed  section 
of  steps  on  Jacob's  ladder.  ApparenUy  they  didn't 
realize  that  by  placing  their  names  where  they  did,  they  will 
be  trodden  on  for  years  to  come.

those  weren  \  the  dayA 


1  could  scarcely  contain  my 
delight  at  finding  that  in  its  Nov. 
7  issue  the  Southern  Accent 
had  finally  moved  away  from  its 
preoccupation  with  petty  provincial 
affairs,  publishing  some  serious 
liistory.  In  the  interest  of  quality 
scholarship,  however,  1  must  point 
out  a  few  errors  which  probably 
resulted  from  the  poor  manuscript 
used  by  the  researcher  as  his  primary 
source. 

Fist  of  all  the  serfs  at  the  CMS 
manor,  unlike  the  usual  farmer 
serfs,  were  volunteers  training  for 
the  army  of  a  distant  Lord  who  had, 
at  least  in  part,  designed  their  program. 

The  majority  of  the  lectures  in  the 
cubicle  were  not  concerned  with 
manoral  society  but  pertained  to  the 
military,  most  of  the  meetings,  in 
fact,  consisting  of  commentaries  on 
quote;  fiom  the  lord-general. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that

the  premilitary  program,  he 
considered  expulsion  much  more 
dreadful  than  living  in  the  peaceful 
valley  in  misery.  His  dread  was  un- 
^  warranted.  In  an  adjacent  valley  a 
'  minor  vasal,  Winfield,  maintained 
an  ordinary  agricultural  manor,  called 
CTU,  for  those  unfit  for  or  afraid  of 
the  military. 

As  for  the  revolt  against  the  trainim 
sessions  in  the  cubicle:  It  never  hapmn. 
on  the  CMS  manor  because,  insp.le'^'^ 
of  a  f:w  noticible  fiaws  in  the  nobility 
and  program,  most  of  the  serfs  were 
so  anxious  to  join  the  war  they  refused 
to  mterrupt  their  training  for  such 
trivia. 

I  want  to  commend  the  writer  of 
"Those  Were  the  Days"  for  his 
splendid  efforts  in  medieval  history. 
I  do  hope,  though,  that  he  is  a  fresh- 
man, giving  him  another  three  years  in 
which  to  learn  proper  research  method. 
He  must  have  been  very  brave  to  let 
youplublish  his  work  anonymously.

/\/[oose  Smith  res/gns- 
Islew  V.P,  to  be  appointed 


Ed  note-The  following  is  a  letter 
sent  to  Elder  K.  R.  Davis,  student 
association  advisor,  by  John  Q.  Smith 
SA  Executive  Vice-President. 

Dear  Elder  Davis; 

I  am  writing  you  in  your  capacity 
as  Student  Association  Advisor.  I 
legrel  to  inform  you  that  due  to 
personal  academic  circumstances, 
I  am  forced  to  resign  my  position 
3S  Executive  Vice  President  of  tlie 
Student  Assoication  effective 
preferably  immediately.  This  action 
has  been  determined  by  a  consistent 
drop  in  my  grades  since  the  first  of 
(his  school  year  when  1  took  office. 
The  drop  has  been  most  evident  since 
mid-term. 

It  has  been  suggested  to  me,  by  you 
among  others,  that  I  lighten  my  work 
load  and  concentrate  on  studies.  1 
have  done  this  and  although  my  grades 
have  been  helped  the  duties  of  the 
vice  president  have  floundered.  I 
am  convinced  for  me  to  continue  in 
this  manner  would  be  an  injustice 
to  the  Student  Association  and  my 
personal  conscience.  It  is  hard  for 
me  to  continue  as  a  mediocre  student 
and  mediocre  student  officer. 

My  decision  is  not  impulsive.  1 
have  pondered  for  several  weeks  what 
to  do.  1  have  spoken  to  you  earlier  and 
discussed  the  situation  with  my  wife, 
my  academic  advisor,  and  several  close 
friends.  1  see  no  other  alternative. 

My  grades  are  extremely  important, 
.,you  know,  for  I  plan  on  applying 
to  Law  School.  At  mid-term  my 
gpa  was  not  terrible,  but  neither  was 
it  adequate.  Since  then,  it  has  become 
worse. 

1  am  sure  it  would  be  easier  for 
the  SA  if  1  waited  until  the  end  of  the 
semester  to  resign.  However,  the 
problem  is  my  grades  and  the  end  of 
the  semester  would  be  too  late.  It  is 
this  semesters  grades  with  which  I 
am  concerned. 

If  necessary,  I  will  continue  my 
duties  until  Sunday,  Nov.  25,  two 
weeks  from  today .  It  is  my  wish, 
thougli,  someone  can  be  found  to 
nil  my  position  earlier.  Again,! 
apologize  for  the  certain  inconvenience 
caused,  but  hope  you  understand  I  am 
a  student  first,  and  priorities  dictate 
I  meet  that  responsibility. 

Sincerely, 


J. Q.  Smith

According  to  the  Student  Association 
Consitution  the  vacancy  in  the  office 
of  Executive  Vice-President  is  to  be 
filled  by  a  presidential  appointee  that 
would  have  to  be  ratified  by  the  SA 
Senate. 

When  the  Accent  tallced  with 
President  Litchfield  he  stated  the 
he  was  not  going  to  make  a  hasty 
appointment,  but  is  planing  to  give 
much  though  and  consideration  to 
the  choice  before  reaching  a  decision. 
He  did  express  optimism,  and  he 
hopes  to  have  a  Vice-President 
appointee  by  the  next  Senate 
meeting  which  will  be  held  on 
Monday,  Nov.  26.  Litchfield 
said  if  a  new  Executive  Vice- 
President  has  not  been  appointed 
by  the  twenty-sixth,  he  will  act  as 
a  chairman  of  that  Senate  meeting 

"Litch"  told  the  Accent  that  he 
had  several  possibilities  in  mind, 
but  he  would  not  disclose  any  names 
He  said  "there  is  no  one  front-runner  at 
this  point. "  He  did  state  nowever, 
that  he  was  not  going  to  limit  his 
considerations  to  the  members  of  the 
Student  Senate.  . 

Early  in  January  a  special  election 
wttl  be  held  by  the  SA  in  order  to 
fill  the  Exectuive  Vice-President  s 
office  permanently.

studied  by 

Senate 


The  fourth  session  of  the  Student 
Association  Senate  was  called  to 
order,  at  7:30  p.m.  on  Monday, 
November  12,  1973.  After  the 
call  to  order,  SA  Secretary, 
Connie  Clayburn,  called  the  roll  and 
then  the  business  began. 

Ric  Carey,  one  of  the  student 
representatives  on  the  Student 
Affairs  Committee,  advised  the 
senators  that  they  should  go  over  the 
handbook  and  submit  suggested 
changes  to  the  committee  rep- 
resentatives or  to  the  Student 
Affiars  Committee  via  Senate  reso- 
lutions. Mr.  Carey  informed  the 
Senate  that  the  Student  Affairs 
Committee  was  now  in  the  process 
of  reviewing  the  Student  Handbook 
and  recommending  changes  to  the 
Faculty  Senate.  Mr.  Carey  felt  that 
the  student  representatives  do  carry 
some  influence  on  the  committee, 
but  stated  that  resolutions  from  the 
Senate,  with  the  proper  rationale 
behind  them,  would  have  influence 
on  the  committee,  but  stated  that 
in  helping  to  present  the  general 
student  viewpoint.  The  Senate 
then  agreed  that  the  individual 
Senators  would  study  the  Hand- 
book, talk  with  their  constituents, 
and  bring  back  recommendations  at 
the  next  Senate  meeting, 

John  Smith,  Chairman  of  the 
Senate,  then  read  a  note  from  Don 
Bogar,  SA  Treasurer,  stating  that  a 
budget  revision  was  in  process  and 
requesting  that  all  recommendations 
from  various  organizations,  both  present 
and  future,  be  submitted  to  either 
himself  or  LeClare  Litchtield,  SA 
President ,  as  soon  as  possible. 
In  order  that  the  proposals  be 
studied  before  the 
revisied  budget  is  submitted  to 
the  Senate.  cj-.„, 

Harry  Haugen,  annual  Editor, 
presented  a  proposal  at  the  last 
previous  Senate  meeting  concern- 
ing the  need  for  dark  room  equip- 
ment for  use  by  the  student  pub- 
lications. Mr.  Haugen  could  not  be 
present  this  past  Monday,  but 
arranged  for  Mr.  Merchant,  College 
Treasurer  to  present  a  detailed  list 
of  equipment  needs  totaling  $1,02S- 
Mer  Merchant,  pointed  out  that  due 
to  the  sale  of  some  older  equipment, 
the  Senate  would  need  only  to  ap- 
propriate nine-hundred  dollars. 
After  some  discussion,  the  Senate 
voted  to  propriate  the  sura  requested. 
'      Senator  Zima  made  a  motion 
that  individuals  giving  presentations 
to  the  Senate  present  an  outline 

to  the  SA  Secretary,  who  m  urn 
wUl  see  that  typewnttencop.es  of 

Is  outline  are  to  be  given  to  the 
Senators  when  they  receive  the 
agenda.  After  some  discjis^or. 
Senator  McClarty  moved  tha  'he 
motion  be  amended  to  read,  that  the 
Tt^s  be  given  to  the  Secretary  who 
in  turn  would  see  that  each  Senator 
receive  copies  of  the  outlines  on 
SFrlday'following  the  Monday  of 

totalkt'll'^'f"^""""™"'        *^ 
fo  taiK  u.  "  aueslions 

based  upon  <i  cieai^i  "' 


The  first  item  of  new  business 
was  a  proposal  of  whether  or  not  the 
late  leave-in  its  present  form-should 
be  abolished.  Senators  Liles  and 
Wade  took  the  position  that  they 
should  be.  Senators  Coliver  and  Eldred 
presented  the  opposing  side.  In 
speaking  for  a  change  Senators 
Liles  and  Wade  pointed  out  that  the 
main  objection  against  late  leaves 
seems  to  be  that  having  to  have  a 
late  leave  turned  in  by  Friday 
noon,  often  forced  the  ladies  of 
Thatcher  to  have  to  fill  out  erron- 
eous information. 
The  reasoning  behind  this  was  that 
since  on  many  Saturday  nights  the 
activities  of  the  individuals  tend  to 
be  spontaneous.  Tliey  recommended 
that  the  women  should  have  easier 
methods  of  obtaining  a  late  leave 
on  Saturday  night. 

Senator  Coliver  and  Eldred 
pointed  out  that  late  leaves  were  a 
method  of  accounting  legally  for 
students,  especially  young  ladies 
under  1 8.  The  school  is  legally 
responsible  for  minor  students. 
Another  point  for  keepign  late 
leaves  was  that  an  emergency  might 
come  up  in  which  the  student  would 
need  to  be  contacted. 

Senator  Eldred  pointed  chit  that  a 
trend  in  secular  colleges  was  an  increase 
in  drop-outs  after  these  colleges 
abolished  late  leaves. 

The  Senate  voted  that  a  letter 
be  sent  to  all  Dormitory  Deans 
and  to  the  Student  Affairs  Committee, 
citing  the  Student  Handbook,  and 
recommeding  that  residents  of  all 
dormitories  be  allowed  to  make  late 
leaves  on  Saturday  night. 

The  SA  Project  Committee  did 
not  have  a  report  because  many  of 
the  members  have  resigned.  Senator 
Williams  stated  that  the  purpose  of 
the  committee  will  be  to  study  various 
possibilities  for  SA  projects  and  to 
offer  the  Senate  several  alternatives. 
Senator  Smith  then  suggested  the 
possibility  of  the  Senate  starting  the 
passage  of  resolutions  and  working 
policies  on  a  continuing  basis.  This 
would  bind  the  future  Senates  to 
follow  such  resolutions,  which  could 
then  be  repealed  only  by  specific 
percentage  vote.  This  would  help 
give  direction  and  continuity  to  SA 
policy.  The  disadvantages  would  be 
that  the  Senate  might  not  be  able  to 
act  as  swiftly  as  it  had  in  the  past. 
Another  would  be  that  if  a  sub- 
stantial minority  chose  to  do  so, 
they  could  utilize  previously  passed 
decisions  to  block  the  passage  of  items 
which  they  might  be  against.  The 
Senate  voted  to  appoint  a  committee 
to  be  chaired  by  the  Parlimentarian 
to  investigate  the  feasibility  and 
desirability  of  such  a  policy  and  to 
see  what,  if  any  Consitutional 
changes  might  be  necessary. 

Senator  Burnside  reported  on  the 
possibility  of  changing  the  Chapel 
attendance  policies,  and  stated  that 
he  was  not  given  any  specific  reasons 
for  the  present  policy.  The 
Senate  was  voted  to  table  discussion 
on  this  issue  until  the  Senators  had 
had  time  to  poll  their  constituents  and 
to  further  study  the  matter. 

The  meeting  was  adjourned  at  9  p.m.

The  Southern  Accent 


November  14,  1973 


Dr.  Bond 

to  speak  on 

^  educational 

implications 

of 

integration 


Dr.  Claude  Bond,  associate 
iuperintcndcnt  of  the  Chattanooga 
school  system,  will  speak  to  the 
Education  Club  (SNEA)  on  Thursday 
at  6:45  p.m.  in  Darnells  Hall  III. 

A  well-known  thesis  of  Dr.  Bond's 
is  that  integration  of  schools  has 
hindered  development  of  black  ed- 
ucational leadership.  He  also  proposes 
that  leachers  in  general  find  it 
difficull  10  work  elTectivel)  in 
integrated  classrooms  because  of 
personal  biases  or  beliefs  that  poor 
or  minority  students  have  inferior 
abilities. 

Dr.  Bond,  who  is  considered  one 
of  the  most  able  speakers  in  the  South 
on  the  above  issues,  will  present  the 
other  side  of  the  educational  scene, 
as  opposed  to  that  normally  viewed 
by  SMC  students  on  a  predominantly 
white,  middle-class  campus.  He  is  not 
afraid  of  questions  but  deals  with  them 
ludiciously,  compassionately,  and 
effectively. 

Accompanied  by  Mr.  George  W. 
James,  personnel  director  of  the 
Chattanooga  school  system.  Dr.  Bond 
will  attempt  to  duplicate  his  thought- 
provoking  presentation  made  last 
year,  which  v/as  considered  the 
highUght  of  the  meetings  sponsored 
by  the  Education  Club. 

Dr.  Bond  is  a  member  of  the 
executive  committee  of  the  Central 
Mid-Western  Regional  Education 
Laboratory  and  is  on  the  administrative 
council  of  the  Tennessee  Educational 
Association.  He  is  a  board  member  of 
the  Chattanooga  chapter  of  the 
National  Council  of  Christians  and 
Jews  and  is  a  member  of  the  National 
Association  for  the  Advancement  of 
Colored  People,  as  well  as  holding 
other  positions  in  local  civic  affairs.

Focuify  consider 

methods 

of  student  evaluation 


Hallock  vacafions 
in  Caliiornia 


The  fa.~ulty  affairs  committee 
has  been  given  the  responsibility 
of  planning  the  next  faculty  meeting 
which  is  to  be  held  this  Sunday. 
The  committee  was  chosen  to  have  an 
open  discussion  of  methods  and 
techniques  of  evaluating  a  student's 
academic  performance. 

Dr.  Donald  Dick,  professor  of 
speech  and  chairman  of  the 
Communications  Department, 
will  chair  the  discussion.  Five  stu- 
dents have  been  selected  by  the  faculty 
affairs  committee  to  introduce  the 
topic  by  stating  tliier  impressions 
topic  by  stating  their  impressions  of 
and  reactions  to  evaluation  procedures 
currently  practiced  at  SMC.  These 
students  were  chosen  because  they 
were  known  by  faculty  to  be  willing 
to  speak  out  on  weak  or  discriminatory 
.points  in  present  evaluation  methods. 

The  main  purpose  of  this  discussion 
is  to  disseminate  to  the  faculty-at- 
large  techniques  being  successfully 


used  by  faculty  members  in  particular 
Consideration  will  be  given  such  questioni, 
as  "How  are  grades  derived?"  "What 
type  of  tests  and/or  experiences  are 
used  as  criteria  for  evaluation?"  To 
what  size  classes  may  the  bell  curve 
be  applied  successfully?"  and  so  on. 

Another  purpose  of  this  discussion 
is  to  learn  how  to  deal  fairly  with  the 
student  in  all  situations.  "Students 
are  the  ones  hurt  if  we  don't  maintain 
a  justifiable  system  of  grading," 
said  Stuart  Berkeley,  professor  of 
education  and  chairman  of  the 
Education  Department.  "It  is 
our  hope  that  through  this 
discussion  will  come  an  in  depth 
study,  both  private  and  collective, 
that  will  lead  to  better  evaluation 
practices  and  instruction." 

After  their  presentation  the  faculty 
members  are  to  respond  by  debating 
the  validity  and  reliability  of  methods 
being  practiced,     by  Barbara  Palmer 


SA  Senate  Agenda 

Nov.  26,  1973 


Duane  hallock.  Southern  Accent  editor, 
■ditor,  and  Dr.  Melvin  Campbell,  Accent 
faculty  advisor,  left  CoUegedale  Tuesday 
to  attend  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
\dventist  Student  Press  Association, 
being  held  tliis  year  on  the  campus  of 
Pacific  Union  College. 

The  ASPA  convention  is  a 
seminar  workshop  for  the  editors 
and  faculty  advisors  of  all  newspapers 
published  by  Adventist  colleges  in 
North  American.  The  convention 
which  is  held  at  a  different  college 
every  year,  was  held  last  year  at 
Southern  Missionary  College.  The 
president  of  ASPA  is  Norma  Jean 
Seal,  editor  of  the  Sligonian  last 
year  at  Columbia  Union  College. 


The  purpose  of  the  ASPA 
convention  is  to  provide  an 
opportunity  for  the  different 
journalism  personel  to  assemble  and 
pool  their  ideas  concerning  the 
different  problems  they  are  having  and 
what  they  are  doing  to  solve  them. 
Professsional  journalists  also  attend 
the  convention  to  give  lectures  and 
assist  iri  the  workshops. 

Some  of  the  topics  to  be 
discussed  at  this  year's  convention 
are:  layout,  financing  a  school 
newspaper,  writing  top  quality  news 
stories,  gathering  the  news,  and  the 
relationship  the  advisor  should  talte 
with  the  paper.

Tlie  Undergraduate  Record  Exami 
nation  will  be  administered  this  Sunday 
and  Monday  to  all  four-year  seniors 
completing  classwork  in  December. 
AJl  four-year  seniors  are  required 
to  take  the  examination  by  their 
final  semester  before  graduating  from 
SMC.  The  examination  includes 
area,  aptitude,  and  field  tests. 

The  area  tests  measure  general 
knowledge  in  the  three  broad  areas 
of  the  liberal  arts;  humanitites, 
natural  science,  and  social  studies. 
Basically,  they  evaluate  the  student's 
ability  to  grasp  and  apply  concepts 
and  therefore  do  not  stress  details 
of  specific  courses. 

Tire  humanities  test  provides  a 
means  of  measuring  undergraduate 
familiarity  with  philosophy,  literature, 
and  other  major  arts.  It  covers  historical 
periods  and  styles  from  the  classical 
through  the  contemporary,  emph- 
asizing the  kind  of  information  and 
ability  that  students  with  nonspecialized 
interests  in  the  humanities  are  likely 
to  have  acquired  during  college. 

'the  natural  science  test  includes 
questions  on  the  bilogical  and  physical 
sciences,  measuring  the  knowledge

along  this  line. 
^esecond  area  was  concerning 
communication  between 
illy  and  students.  This  area  has 
iroved  greatly  since  the  current 
cers  were  installed.  John 
«)se"Smith  and  1  spoke  at  the

What  programs  are  the  SA 
working  on  currently? 

The  chapels  are  what  we've 
been  working  on,  such  as  the  Bob 
Evans  program.  We'd  like  to  have  more 
interesting  events  as  these.  Dennis 
is  also  working  in  conjuction  with  Dr. 
Clark  in  the  History  Department 
to  get  Senator  Baker  and  Congressman 
Pettis.  We  received  a  letter  from 
Senator  Baker's  office  stating  he 
would  be  interested  in  coming  to 
speak  to  us. 

The  social  committee  is  working 
on  a  Christmas  program  also. 

There  was  some  discussion  about 
communications  with  other  colleges- 
has  there  been  anything  done  in  this 
a? 

The  only  thing  that  has  been  done  this 
year  is  getting  the  sports  programs 
underway  with  other  schools.  And 
then  there  is  the  Purple  Egg  Festival 
of  Arts  and  Crafts.  We  invite  many 
schools  to  this  event. 

Have  the  SA  officers  made  attempts 
to  meet  the  students  on  campus? 

It  is  very  hard  to  do,  but  we  do 
try  our  best  to  meet  as  many  students 
as  possible.  We  give  out  the  Jokers 
and  annuals.  I  would  Uke  to  ask  the 
students  if  they  are  in  the  student 
center  and  we  are  in  our  office,  to 
just  stop  in  and  let  us  meet  them. 
We'd  like  to  hear  what  they  think. 

Do  you  have  additional  news 
which  you'd  like  to  relay? 

The  most  important  thing  is 
what  we've  discussed  in  the  SA 


McDonald 
meetings  about  the  little  money  we 
have.  We'd  like  to  put  his  money  to 
good  use,  possibly  outside  ourselves 
for  someone  in  some  type  of  great 
need- 

Personally,  I'd  like  to  see  if  go 
somewhere  where  it  will  be  useful 
and  wouldn't  be  a  PR  type  of  thing. 
I  encourage  the  students  to  tell  their 
senators  where  they'd  like  to  see  this 
money  spent.  They  (the  students) 
can  make  their  desires  here  and  it  is 
very  important. 

What  are  the  hours  on  the  SA 
office? 

We  have  the  hours  posted  on  the 
bulletin  board  in  the  Student  Center 
when  each  one  of  the  officers  will 
be  in.  If  someone  needs  to  see  a 
particular  person,  he  can  call  and  make 
an  appointment  for  a  specific  time. 

What  has  the  student  involve- 
ment been  in  the  SA  programs? 

The  main  thing  for  involvement 
has  been  through  the  different  social 
programs  we've  had  like  the  "rained 
out"  pasture  party  and  the  welcoming 
party,  but  as  for  a  SA  project  per  se, 
there  hasn't  been  one. 

The  students  have  helped  plan  these 
functions,  and  then  we  have  certain 
groups  of  students  who  serve  on 
designated  committees  on  a  regular 

Do  you  feel  that  the  SA  has  lived 
up  to  what  it  should  be? 

Things  are  alot  different  when  you 
are  looking  at  a  position  than  when  you 
are  in  that  place.  As  a  student  voice 
on  an  Adventist  campus,  there  isn  t 
much  you  can  do  excpet  ask  questions 
and  make  suggestions. 

That  is  by  no  means,  the  ideal  way 
ofhaving  things,  though.  I  wish  we 
did  have  a  stronger  voice,  but  that  s 
just  the  way  it's  run.

Wayne  E.  VandeVcre,  chairman 
of  the  General  Education  Committee 
in  a  letter  to  departmental  chairman. 
Dr.  Cyril  Futcher,  academic  dean, 
and  President  Knittel,  solicited 
"reactions,  comments,  suggestions, 
etc."  concerning  the  Proposed  Broad 
Guidelines  for  General  Education  at 
SMC,  before  a  final  report  is  made  to 
the  faculty  Senate. 

According  to  the  General  Education 
Committee,  the  proposed  program  will 
include: 

1.  A  qualified  person  in  charge  of 
and  responsible  for  the  total  general 
education  program  on  campus. 

2.  An  individualized  program 
developed  by  the  student  and 
advisor  within  the  limits  of  the 
Broad  Guidelines  for  General 
Education. 

3.  Submission  of  the  student's 
program  for  approval  during  the 
freshman  year  or  at  least  by 
registration  of  the  sophomore 
year. 

4.  Approval  of  the  program  by  the 
major  department  in  a  departmental 
meeting-if  a  major  is  selected. 

5.  Approval  of  the  program  by 
the  person  in  charge  of  general 
education. 

The  concepts  of  the  proposed 
program  and  the  major  changes  from 
the  present  program  would  be: 
I       1.  Reduction  of  total  hours 
required. 

2.  Reduction  of  general  education 
to  four  broad  categories:  man's 
God,  Man's  Culture,  Man's 
Environment,  and  Man's  Com- 
munication Needs. 

3.  More  freedom  of  choice. 

4.  Differentiation  between  B.A. 
B.S.,andA.S.  degrees. 

5.  Individualization  of  the  program 
to  meet  differences  in  objectives 
and  backgrounds. 

6.  Provision  of  opportunities  lor 
careful  planninR  by  sludenl  and 
advisor  working  together.  ^ 

7.  Attempts  to  inecl  SMC  s

cases  may  require  more  if  they  are 
highly  professionalized. 

4.  Adoption  of  a  general  associate 
of  Science  degree  program. 
According  to  the  Committee,  the 

proposed  guidelines  should  be  considered 
as  "only  part  of  a  total  general  education 
program  which  is  based  on  the  philosophy 
"hat  we  are  here  to  educate  individuals 
and  not  programs.  The  success  ot  the  pro- 
gam  will  depend  on  the  intellecturai

The  annual  Christmas  tree  lighting 
^t  Southern  Missionary  College  will 
be  held  Nov.  27  at  7:00  p.m.  on  the 
grounds  in  front  of  Wright  Hall. 

Tlie  Chrisimas  tree  wiM  be  brought 
onto  campus  before  Thanksgiving 
vacation,  installed,  and  decorated  in 
dvance  of  the  event. 

Band  music,  choral  numbers,  and 
special  pieces  will  be  presented 
during  the  tree  lighting  ceremony. 
Rumors  from  reliable  sources  indicate 
that  Santa  Claus  will  arrive  to  light 
the  tree  and  pass  out  goodies  to  those 
attending  the  event. 

"The  Christmas  tree  will  glow  into 
the  night  from  tlien  on,  spreading 
cheer  and  badness  across  the  campus," 
declared  Edgar  O.  Grundset,  associate 
professor  of  biology. 

The  multi-colored  lights  will 
illuminate  automatically  each  night 
when  the  campus  lights  come  on. 
In  view  of  the  current  nation-wide 
energy  crisis  the  lights  may  not  be

Faculty  Senate 

discusses 

elimination 

of  upper  divisiori 

The  Faculty  Senate  approved 
Monday  afternoon  a  plan  to  introduce 
four  one-hour  mini-courses  to  the 
Physics  Department  curriculum, 
beginning  next  year  on  a  trail  basis. 

The  courses  are:  (1)  Scientific 
Basis  of  Music,  (2)  Physics  of  Art, 
(3)  Color,  Sound,  and  Force  in 
Interior  Design,  and  (4)  Technology 
and  Science  in  Society.  Each  class 
wdl  consist  of  two  I  'A  hour  class 
periods  per  week  for  one  third  of  one 
semester. 

The  Senate  also  heard  a  report  from 
the  General  Education  Committee 
which  includes  suggestion  of  a 
number  of  changes  in  the  general 
education  requirements  for  graduation. 

Tliese  include  the  addition  of  a 
qualified  person  to  oversee  the  students's 
programs,  individual  programs  developed 
by  the  student  and  his/her  advisor  within 
broad  guidlines,  reduction  of  required 
hours  for  a  B  A  or  B  S.  degree  from 
1 28  to  1 24,  and  reorganization  and 
addition  of  courses  and  development 
of  new  teaching  methods  to  implement 
these  changes. 

.      Other  suggested  revisions  include 
I  elimination  of  upper  and  lower 
I  division  class  designation,  addition  of 
a  general  A.S.  degree,  and  elimination  of 
the  requirement  to  have  a  minor.  The 
General  Education  Committee  report 
will  be  studied  in  depth  at  an  extra 
Senate  meeting  scheduled  for  Dec.  3. 


There  is  sometlung  happening  on 
the  campus  of  Southern  Missionary 
College  that  is  peaceful,  pressureless, 
and  full  of  love.  It  is  the  silent 
reformation,  more  commonly  known 
as  Positive  Way.  So  silent  is  it  that 
a  visitor  casually  perusing  the  campus 
and  community  wouldn't  even  know  it 
was  going  on.  Its  goal  is  simply  to 
experience  God  to  the  fullest. 

The  people  involved  haven't  made 
the  goal  yet  since  there  is  an  infinite 
amount  of  God  to  experience  for  an 
eternity.  This  perspective  allows  for 
continual  growth  which  takes  the 
possibility  away  fo  anyone  realizing 
the  ultimate  goal,  i.e.,  once  an  ex- 
perience is  reahzed  the  need  for  another 
one  is  brought  to  light,  and  then 
spoiling  It  for  the  others  who  haven't 
made  it  yet  by  rib'oing  them,  i.e., 
judging  your  brother. 

"Peaceful"  is  how  some  describe 
this  silent  reformation,  because 
there  is  no  group  raising  a  fuss  setting 
everything  outwardkly  astir.  There 
are  not  even  any  sermons  on  a 
reform  movement  being  preached  as 
is  customary  in  reformations.  It 
is  a  pressureless  reformation  because 
believe  it  or  not,  there  wasn't  one 
cent  spent  on  PR  trying  to  get  people 
out  to  some  happening.  The  word 
spread  by  mouth  from  neighbor  to 
neighbor. 

It  is  d  loving  reformation  because 
it  reaches  out  in  sincerity  and  humility 
to  fellow  students  and  faculty.  It 


does  not  approach  someone  and  « 
"In  the  name  of  the  Lord  get  It 
together  in  this  or  that."  Nor  ()o„l 
say,  "You  have  got  to  get  an  exptJ 
with  God  or  burn  in  hell."  Quite  J 
contrary,  the  people  involved 
privately  approach  fellow  studei,„ 
faculty  and  say,  "I  need  a  deeper"e] 
perience  with  God;  will  you  expeJ 
Him  with  me?"  1 

In  just  one  year  there  liave  beeJ 
three  baptisms  and  about  two  h»J 
college  and  community  touched  1 
directly  by  the  silent  reformation,! 
Indirect  results  are  impossible  to  [ 
count.  This  year  has  started  winJ 
enough  trained  people  to  deal  \\iij 
the  interest. 

When  man  is  put  in  contact «. 
his  God,  he  opens  the  channel  foil 
the  Holy  Spirit  to  work  with  him.F 
Positive  Way  supplies  the  situalioJ 
whereby  serious  searchers  mayei-F 
tablish  contact  with  their  heaveiil|| 
Father.  In  the  words  of  Ellen 
White,  "Not  only  were  the  stuii 
taught  the  duty  of  prayer,  but  ili;l 
were  taught  how  to  pray,  how  to  f 
approach  their  Creator,  how  to 
exercise  faith  in  Him,  and  howlol 
understand  and  obey  the  teachinjl 
of  His  Spirit."  It  is  a  slow  procesil 
Time  and  effort  must  be  spent  * 
people.  It  can't  be  done  in  a 
Still  the  results  are  solid.  One  i!

h  and  Gladys,  Sabina,  the  maid, 
fcedrick  and  Baby,  the  two  pet  din- 
lis  trying  to  survive  the  chill  factor 
Ingthe  Ice  Age. 
pile  second  act  opens  with  tire 


Antrobus  family  at  a  political  con- 
vention in  which  Mr.  Antrobus  ha; 
just  been  elected  President  of  the 
order  of  Mammals.  Family  squabbles 
ensue  and  Mr.  Antrobus  threatens  to 
leave  Maggie,  his  wifq  and  marry  Sabina, 
the  maid.  But  alas,  the  family  holds 
steady  when  a  horrendous  storm  requires 
the  Antrobus's  to  board  a  boat  with 
lots  of  animals  on  it  in  order  to  escape 
the  floods  from  the  deluge  during  the 
storm.  Sound  familiar? 

The  third  act  begins  with  7  of  the 
bit  part  actors  and  actresses  sick  from 
with  ptomaine  poisoning.  Hence, 
these  parts  are  performed  by  the  " 
"behind  the  scenes  people"  after  a  short 
short  practice  session.  The  act  finally 
officially  begins  with  the  family  being 
re-united  after  the  brutal  Neopolianic 
wars  had  split  them  up. 

According  to  Grimsley,  "the  play 
to  say  the  least  is  surpising,  but  it  is 
one  of  the  most  difficult  things  I've 
done  as  well  as  one  of  the  most  enjoy 
able  things  I've  done.  1  can  promise 
whoever  may  come,  that  it  will  be  a 
night  of  good  clean  fun. 

SMC  students  will  be  charged  $1 .00 
for  admission.  Adults  will  be  charged 
$2.00. 

Grimsley  and  Taylor  will  both  be 
taking  a  car  down  to  the  Theatre  Arts 
Center  every  niglit  of  the  performance. 
They  request  that  you  see  them  if  you 
need  transportation.  (Grimsley  729,

TV  A  power  plant 

foured  by 
government  class 


The  American  government  class, 
taught  by  Dr.  J.  L.  Clark,  professor 
of  History,  toured  the  Chickamauga 
Power  Plant  at  Chickamauga  Dam 
Sunday.     The  1 1  members  of  the 
group  left  SMC  at  9;30  a.m.  for  the 
one-hour  visit  at  the  power  plant 
facilities. 

Chickamauga  Dam,  wliicli  is  part 
of  the  Tennessee  Valley  Authority 
(TVA),  was  started  in  1 936  and 
completed  in  July,  1940.  It  is  one 
of  nine  dams  on  the  Tennessee  River. 
The  others  include:   Fort  Loudon, 
Watts  Bar,  and  Pickwick  Dams  in 
Tennessee;  Guntersville,  Wheeler, 
and  Wilson  Dams  in  Alabama; 
and  the  largest,  Kentucky  Dam, 
in  Kentucky. 

Within  the  TVA  system  there  are 
many  tributaries,  amny  of  which  also 
have  dams  and  steam-plants.  Some 
examples  of  this  are  the  earth  and 
stone  dam  on  the  Holston  River, 
the  Ocoee  Dams  on  the  Ococe  River, 
and  Noriss  Dam  at  the  junction  of 
the  Clinch  and  Powell  Rivers. 

The  TVA  serves  an  area  comprising 
the  southwestern  third  of  Kentucky, 
the  state  of  Tennessee,  large  portions 
of  northern  Alabama  and  northern  _ 
Georgia,  and  portions  of  Virginia, 
North  Carolina,  and  Mississippi. 

Chickamauga  Dam,  located  near 
Chattanooga  is  more,than  one  mile 
in  length  and  129  feet  high. 
Over  500,000  cubic  yards  of 
concrete  and  almost  3,000,000 
cubic  yards  of  earth  and  stone  w';nt 
into  the  construction. 

The  dam,  which  opened  for  com- 
mercial hydro-electric  power  production 
in  1940,  now  has  four  hydraulic 
turbines  which  have  a  total  production 
capacity  of  108,000  kUowatts  of 
electric  power  per  hour.  The  turbines 
themselves  measure  264  inches  each  m 
diamater  and  rotate  on  shafts  which 
are  36  inches  in  diameter.  The  dam 
and  reservoir  represent  about  MI 
million  worth  of  investment.  . 

It  has  done  much  in  the  way  of 
providing  clean  and  navigable  water 
ways  and  stocking  them  Mth 
aburdant  supplies  of  fish  from  TVA 
hatcheries.  TVA  has  also  helped  to 
create  better  methods  of  farming   • 
for  the  Tennessee  River  Region 
and  also  produces  a  s"P™or  ftrtitor. 
TVA  has  also  begun  land  reclamation 


andreforestrationin  the  strip-mining 
district  of  Copper  Hill  in  east  Tennes- 
see. 

[n  the  area  of  flood-control, 
TVA  has  saved  Chattanooga  from 
eight  major  and  many  minor  floods 
since  1936.  Last  March  TVA  pre- 
vented a  major  flood  from  wiping  out 
about  half  of  Chattanooga,  including 
a  major  portion  of  the  downtown 
district.  The  damage  without  flood 
control  would  have  run  somewhere 
over  500  million  dollars. 

Though  the  river  itself  reached 
levels  of  22  and  23  feet  above  flood 
stage,  the  TVA  system  was  able  to 
keep  it  down  to  about  seven  feet 
over  flood  stage,  limiting  damage  to 
around  $35  million. 

The  TVA  has  two  major  purposes 
which  arc:  (1 )  flood  control,  and 
(2)  hydroelectric  power  production. 
In  both,  TVA  has  been  notably 
successful.  In  order  to  increase  the 
output  of  electric  power  to  the 
Tennessee  Valley  Region,  TVA  has  either 
in  operation  or  under  construction 
three  nuclear  power  plants,  located 
at  Sequoyah,  1 5  miles  north  of 
Chickamauga  Dam,  Watts  Bar,  and    , 
Brown's  Ferry,  near  Chickamauga, 
Ga. 

The  TVA  has  made  many  contri- 
butions to  area  employment,  conser- 
vation, and  environmental  projects. 
At  die  present  time  TVA  has  or  is 
installing  air  pollution  controls 
in  a  large  number  of  its  coal-burning 

^  During  the  tour,  the  government 
class  was  shown  the  generator- 
turbine  rooms,  the  air-compression 
units  which  are  used  to  blow  steam 
out  of  the  turbines  to  keep  them  from 
shorting  out,  and  the  taU-gate  areas 
where  water  enters  the  turbine  umts. 

The  lake  made  by  Chickamauga 
Dam  a  surface  area  of  35,400  acreas 
and  a  shore  line  ofSlO  miles.  The 

lake  attracts  about  four  million 
recreational  visits,  and  is  surrounded 
bv  nineteen  boat  docks  and  resorts, 
^C  ate  and  local  parks,  seventy-four 
public  access  areas,  thirty  club  cites 
and  over  one-thousand  private  rest- 
dencel  Tire  recreational  equipment 
and  development  costs  on  the  lake 
are  estimated  at  over  $28  million.

Collegedale 
prepares  for  energy  crisis 


The  cold  reality  of  a  petroleum 
ilhortage  keeps  growing  colder  as  the 
Meets  woreen.  Directly  tied  to  this 
1  the  shortage  of  energy  itself. 
Precipitated  by  an  Arab  oil  boycott, 
his  shortage  is  causing  every  nation 
10  curb  their  energy  appetite. 
But  more  important  is  what  happened, 
Ihat  the  current  situation  is,  and  how 
lollegedale,  TN.,  and  the  United 
ilates  will  be  driven  to  make  changes 
1  a  formerly  "luxurious"  life. 

The  Arabians  who  control  about  60 
ler  cent  of  the  world's  oil  reserves, 
|l  a  desperate  move  to  gain  allies 
|the  Mid  East  war  of  Oct.  6, 
Isorted  to  an  oil  boycott.  By  Oct. 
Ithey  had  reduced  production  by 
£per  cent-4  million  barrels  a  day- 
Id  warned  they  would  cut  by  five 
ircent  each  month  until  they  were 
itisfied  with  Israeli-Arab  agreements. 
It  the  same  time  the  price  of  Arab 
I  was  increased  by  a  breath  taking 
p per  cent. 


Unfortunately,  there  seems  to  be 
no  changing  of  the  Arabian  purpose. 
It's  a  "we  get  what  we  want  or  else" 
proposition, with  the  United  States 
feeling  the  main  brunt  of  the  situation. 
The  Cairo  newspaper,  "Al  Ahram," 
is  quoted  as  saying  that  the  oil  cutoff, 
coupled  with  embargoes,  will  be 
directed  against  the  U.S.  economy 
because  Washington  continues  to 
support  Israel. 

The  continuing  Arab  embargo 
of  oil  shipments  to  the  U.S.  which  is 
expected  to  cut  U.S.  consumption  by 
18  per  cent,  or  about  3  million  barrels 
of  oil  per  day,  is  not  the  only  problem. 
It  seems  that  all  nations  connected  with 
supplying  Arab  oil  to  the  United 
States  have  been  issued  ultimatums 
to  stop  supplying  the  U.S.  or  lose  their 
own  Arab  oil  shipments. 

The  Netherlands,  prime  supplier 
of  heating  oil,  is  dependent  on  Arab 
oil  to  process  for  the  U.S.;  Canada 
is  affected,  too.  In  addition  to  this.

Venezuela,  Nigeria,  and  Indonesia, 

all  suppliers  for  the  U.S.,  have  increased 

their  oil  prices. 

What  is  the  situation  in  Collegedale? 
On  the  campus  of  Southern  Missionary 
College  awareness  of  the  problem  has 
already  affected  some  changes. 
According  to  William  Taylor,  director 
of  college  relations,  the  college  will 
cut  back  on  long,  involved  promotional 
trips,  as  well  as  trying  to  plan  vacations 
so  gasoline  won't  be  used  as  much,  and 
there  will  be  a  cut-back  in  field  trips 
by  bus  for  the  various  departments. 
Francis  Costerisan,  superintendent 
of  the  plant  maintenance  and  con- 
struction department,  states  that  at 
present  the  college  has  a  stable  energy 
situation.  With  a  campus  that  is 
heated  by  50  per  cent  steam  and 
50  per  cent  electricity,  and  not 
expecting  TVA  to  cut  back  electrical 
output,  the  only  difficulty  that  may 
arise  is  the  availabiMty  of  gas  to  heat 
the  steam.  Yet  even  here  the  problem 
isn't  a  crisis :  the  coUege  has    10,000 
gallons  of  reserve  heating  oil. 

Also,  SMC  is  on  an  uninterrupted 
gas  service  which  means  that  before  it 
would  lose  gas  allocations,  the 
industries  and  businesses  in  the  area 
would  lose  their  gas  service.  Those  who 
live  in  the  dorms  can  take  heart! 


Talge  Hall  and  Thatcher  Hall  are  both 
supplied  entirely  by  electricity. 
The  city  of  Collegedale  is  in  a 
relatively  good  position,  so  far. 
According  to  Beecher  Smith,  operator 
of  the  DX  service  station,  the  95 
per  cent  cutback  in  gasoline  has  still 
left  him  with  plenty  of  fuel  for  the  next 
90  days.  But  heating  oil  is  definitely 
short. 

Also,  there  has  been  a  price  jump 
for  heating  oil  in  the  Collegedale 
residential  area  of  $.18  to  $.26  in 
50-gallon  orders.  And  it's  hard  to 
get.  Suppliers  of  the  heating  fuel  are 
hesitant  to  sell  to  those  who  aren't 
their  regular  customers.  Mr.  Smith 
adds  that  should  any  Collegedale 
resident  run  out  of  fuel  oil  and  be 
unable  to  obtain  any,  his  station  is 
equipped  with  a  limited  amount  of 
emergency  oil,  and  he  will  supply 
10  gallons  at  a  time  to  that  resident. 

What  can  Tennessee  residents 
expect? 

Tennesseans  may  stay  warm  this 
winter  without  any  problem.  First, 
the  Colonial  Pipeline  which  comes  from 
Texas  and  Louisiana  fuels  most  of 
the  state.  In  other  words,  Tennessee 
is  not  dependent  on  outside  oil. 
Then  TVA  supplies  a  great  deal  of- 
power  to  Tennessee,  and  there  is  no

Faculty  Senate 
reconsiders   present 
grading  system 


WaUng  of  the  civU  suH "md  he  pr'es'entran  intriguing  account  of  the  behind- 
I  "'*  happenings  that  would  make  Mission  Impossible 


1  Impossible  look  like  a  soap  opera. 


The  Faculty  Senate  voted  Monday 
that  no  course  in  which  a  grade  of 
less  than  C-  is  received  may  count 
toward  a  student's  major  or  minor. 

The  previous  policy  was  that  no 
grade  lower  than  a  C  could  count  toward 
a  major  or  minor.  However,  with  the 
institution  of  +  and  -  grades,  it  was 
felt  that  this  change  should  be  made. 
A  student  must  still  have  an  overall 
2.25  GPA  in  his  major  field  to  quahfy 
for  graduation. 

In  other  business,  the  Senate  voted 
to  approve  a  recommendation  which 
was  drawn  up  in  answer  to  the  pending 
General  Conference  wage  policy  adopted 
at  the  Autumn  Council  in  October. 

In  essence,  this  recommendation 
states  that  the  wage  scale  for  salaried 
denominational  employees  should  be 
determined  without  regard  to  race, 
religion,  sex,  national  origin,  color, 
marital  status,  or  spouse's  earning 
status.  ,  ,. 

The  faculty  feels  that  the  pending 
poUcy  calUng  for  ascertainment  of 
earning  status  of  an  employee's 
spouse  does  not  meet  the  spirit  of 
,  national  law,  aUows  de  facto 
discrimination,  and  is  thus  ethically 
suspect  even  if  it  does  not  make 


denomincational  organizations  liable 
for  legal  suits 

The  statements  also  calls  for  change 
of  the  policy  that  Loma  Linda

Something's 
burning, 

and 
there  is  a  shortage 
of  what  whatever  it  is 

The  mentioning  of  the  terms  "energy  crisis"  and 
"fuel  shortage"  have  become  almost  as  common  as  rain 
here  in  Collegedale.  And  it  appears  that  there  is  nothing 
that  can  be  done  about  any  of  these  situations.  Or  does 
it? 

As  far  as  the  weather  goes,  an  umbreUa  will  usually  solve 
the  problem  of  the  rain.  But  what  about  the  energy  crisis? 

Last  week  the  administration  voted  to  take  several 
actions  to  conserve  on  the  college's  consumption  of  fuel 
and  energy.  Recommendations  were  made  for  the  faculty, 
students,  and  employees  of  SMC  to  follow. 

College-owned  vehicles  are  being  driven  at  the  suggested 
SO  miles  per  hour  speed  limit  for  cars,  and  55  for  trucks 
and  buses. 

Temperatures  are  being  lowered  in  the  college's  com- 
mercial industries,  enterprises,  and  academic  departments. 
As  President  Frank  Kjiittel  puts  it,  "the  college  also  uses  a 
substantial  amount  of  natural  gas  for  steam  heat  for  certain 
sections  of  the  campus,  and,  therefore,  all  such  areas  will 
be  turning  back  thermostats   to  conserve  fuel." 

The  college  requested  that  the  ornamental  Christmas 
decorations  in  the  College  Plaza  be  turned  on  for  only  two 
hours  each  evening,  as  ate  the  lights  on  the  Christmas  tree 
in  the  mall.  All  decorative  lighting  will  be  turned  off  the 
day  after  Christmas. 

The  promotional  trips  of  the  college  will  be  limited.  This 
will  restrict  such  groups  as  the  orchestra,  band,  and  the 
Collegiate  Chorale  from  travelling  to  concerts,  except  for 
appointments  which  have  already  been  made. 

Tlie  energy  crisis  is  a  nationwide  problem.  It  is  not  as 
severe  here  in  Collegedale  as  in  other  parts  of  the  country. 
The  administration,  however,  is  to  be  commended  for 
taking  these  actions  to  help  reduce  the  college's  consumption 
of  fuel. 

It  will  take  unified  effort  across  the  nation  to  solve  the 
energy  problem,  and  those  of  us  here  at  SMC  must  start 
domg  our  part  here  in  Collegedale.  The  work  from  here  on, 
for  the  most  part,  must  be  on  an  individual  basis.  This  is 
the  only  way  the  problem  will  be  alleviated.  It  is  evident 
that  the  only  was  we  can  help  meet  the  energy  crisis  is  by 
starting  to  conserve  our  own  unecessaiy  consumptions  of 
energy.

How  does  the  United  States  stand? 
To  quote  from  U.S.  News  and  World 

Lit  of  Nov.  19,  "This  country  must 
'  I  back  on  fuel  in  ways  unparalleled 
cethe  dark  days  of  World  War  II." 
According  to  Rogers  Morton, 
lelary  of  the  interior,  the  nation 
j|  begin  running  short  of  power  plant 
lei  by  December,  home  heating  oil 
late  January,  and  gasoline  by 
,|y  February;  and,  unless  cuts  can 
made  in  electricity,  brownouts  can 
expected  by  December  or  January. 
The  United  States  is  a  largely  indust- 
1  nation,  and  the  loss  of  plenteous 
,|  is  crippling.  Yet  oil  is  far  more  than 
il-it  is  used  for  lubricating  engines, 
itois,  and  machines;  synthetic 
liles  and  tires  are  made  from  oil's 
Irocarbons;  and  it  is  also  used  in 

paints,  plastics,  and  medicines. 
lohn  Love,  President  Nixon's 
energy  advisor,  states  that  "The 
intial  of  real  economic  disruption 
exist.  We  may  be  forced  to  the 
il  choice  of  whether  we  want 
homes  or  jobs." 

lat  is  die  Nixon  Administration 
|g  to  avert  total  disaster? 
liile  gasoline  prices  soar  across 
lalion,  Nixon  and  his  top  energy 
ors  are  meeting  frequently  to 
iss  developments.  Nixon  has 
ared  on  national  television  to 
American  to  curtail  their  energy 
iiements. 

bme  of  die  guidelines  he  wished  to 
oluntarily  followed  were  turning 
[ihermostat  down  to  68°  F, 
ing  driving  speed  to  50  m.p.h., 
public  transportation,  and  others, 
sleps-if  followed  unitedly- 
Id  cut  consumption  by  2,350,000 
:1s  of  oil  per  day.  That  would  stUl 
the  United  States  short  by 
1000  barrels  of  oil. 
icre  is  a  "Project  Independence" 
sgress  which  will  cost  $10  billion, 
last  five  years,  and  is  an  effort  to 
lop  new  energy  sources  and 
N  ways  of  using  them.  A 
I'm  remains  however:  it  is 
Bcled  that  it  will  take  a  full  15

The  emngency  shortage  will 
continue;  there's  no  relief  in  sight 
In  fact  President  Nixon  again  announced 
more  plans  for  reducing  fuel  consumption 
last  Sunday  night.  This  marked  the 
beginning  of  a  two-stage  plan  to  reduce 
gasoline  production  and  permit  in- 
creased production  of  other  petroleum 
fuels.  Every  plan  to  avert  a  total  lack 
of  energy  wUl  take  time. 

Until  then  Collegedale  can  lake 
heart  at  Mr.  Bruce  Gerhart's  powerful 
statement,  "As  a  driver  of  a  Volks- 
wagen, I'm  not  really  worried  about  the 
fuel  shortage.  I  have  a  wood  stove, 
22  acres  of  woods,  a  cross-cut  saw, 
an  axe,  and  plenty  of  extra  axe  handles- 
a  well  without  a  pump,  too.  If  you  get 
cold,  drop  around  to  my  house."

Brand-spanking-new' 

jeep  donated  to 
Nicaroguon  mission 


The  Nicaragua  mission  station, 
under  the  sponsorship  of  Rudolf 
Aussner,  associate  professor  of 
modern  languages,  has  been  the  recipient 
of  several  valuable  gifts. 

The  first  item  received  was  a 
1972  jeep  donated  by  Dr.  Richard 
Chandler,  a  dentist  practicing  in 
Orlando,  Fla.  While  attending  a 
family  retreat  at  Camp  Kulaqua  early 
in  September,  Dr.  Chandler  was  stirred

by  a  mission  appeal  given  by  Mr. 
Aussner  concerning  the  mission.  Four 
weeks  later  Mr.  Aussner  received  a 
phone  call  from  Dr.  Chandler  saying 
he  had  purchased  a  "brand-span:ung-new" 
jeep  with  only  2100  miles  on  it. 

On  his  way  home  from  a  youth 
congress  he  attended  in  Miami  this 
month,  Mr.  Aussner  aquired  the  jeep 
from  Dr.  Chandler  and  brought  it  to 
SMC.  It  will  be  driven  to  Nicaragua 
by  one  of  the  student  missionaries, 
Leslie  Smart,  who  plans  to  visit 
Collegedale  Dec.  13. 

The  students  at  the  mission  were 
excited  when  they  heard  about  the 
jeep.  "With  the  new  jeep  the  students 
will  be  able  to  conduct  a  mobde 
clinic  without  fighting  the  whole 
jungle,"  said  Mr.  Aussner. 

Another  much  needed  item, 
given  by  Ellsworth  McKee,  president 
of  the  McKee  Baking  Company  of 
Collegedale,  was  a  diesei-powered 
generator  which  enable  the  mission 
to  produce  electricity  to  operate 
the  clinic  and  its  equipment. 

The  dental  equipment  provided  by 
the  father  of  one  of  the  student 
missionaries,  Bobbie  Sue  Wohlers, 
and  through  contacts  made  by  Bill 
Ues  of  Orlando,  has  made  possible 
the  practice  of  dentistry  in  a  limited 
fashion.  The  mission's  resident 
dentist,  Leslie  Smart,  graduated 
from  SMC  last  spring  with  a  B.A. 
degree  in  religion,  but  has  since 
proved  to  be  talented  in  other  fields. 

William  Sager,  the  administrator 
of  Highland  Hospital,  Portland,  TN., 
donated  a  trailer  to  transport  the 
new  generator  from  place  to  place  and 
a  "Tote-Goat"  motor  scooter  to 
aid  the  missionaries  in  dieir  travel 
between  villages.  Mr.  Sager  has 
also  offered  the  mission  a  21-foot 
inboard  motorboal  which  is  to 
be  sold  with  all  the  proceeds  going 
to  the  mission. 

With  the  continuing  interest  and 
support  of  students  and  friends  he;e 
at  home,  Mr.  Aussner  anticipates  a 
bright  future  for  the  mission  project 
so  optimistically  begun.

Students  form  new  physics  class 


Six  students  in  introduction  to 
physics  class  are  structuring  their 
own  physics  course,  according  to 
Dr.  Ray  Hefferlin,  professor  of 
physics. 

When  Terry  Carmichael,  Bill 
James,  Del  Johnson,  Dave  Riesen, 
Tim  Snow,  and  Jack  Waggen  registered 
for  the  class,  they  understood  it  to  be 
a  general  education  course  stressing 
the  concepts  of  physics  as  applied 
to  human  society. 

After  joining  the  class,  however, 
these  students  discovered  that  the 
emphasis  of  Uie  course  was  placed 
upon  the  application  of  physios  to 
nursing  and  education. 


Rather  than  drop  the  class,  they 
got  together  with  Dr.  Hefferlin  and 
decided  to  form  a  section  of  the  class 
devoted  to  studying  physics  in  society. 

The  fellows  attend  classes  and  labs 
along  with  the  other  class  members 
and  take  the  same  tests,  since  the  tests 
usually  cover  class  discussion  and 
the  labs. 

Homework  assignment:  are 
made  by  the  students  themselves, 
their  only  requirement  being  that 
they  complete  and  turn  in  1 09 
problems  for  the  semester.  Each 
week  five  students  do  the  problems 
and  one  grades  the  homework  which 


is  then  turned  in  to  Dr.  Hefferlin. 

Do  the  fellows  like  the  arrangement? 
According  to  Dave  Riesen  they  do. 
It  gives  them  a  chance  to  learn  more 
what  they  want  to  learn  rather  than 
what  the  teacher  says  they  should  leam. 

As  for  Dr.  Hefferlin's  opinion  he 
says,  "1  like  it.  It's  great  to  have  stu- 
dents with  that  kind  of  initiative.'

Civil  War 
four 

I        A  Civil  War  History  Tour,  designed 
for  students  and  Civil  War  buffs,  is 
being  offered  by  the  Andrews  Uni- 
versity history  department  from  June 
nthroughJuly  14, 1974. 
I       Members  of  the  tour  will  visit  the 
major  battlefields  and  places  of 
interest  connected  with  the  Civil 
War  including  Washington,  D.C.  and 
vicinity,  Gettysburg,  Harpers  Ferry, 
Memphis,  Chattanooga  and  vicinity. 
Savannah,  Atlanta  and  vicinity, 
Wilmington,  and  Appomattox. 

The  tour  will  be  conducted  by 
Dr.  Gerald  Herdman,  associate  professor 
ofhistoryat  AU.  Dr.  Herdman  has 
taught  Civil  War  history  at  AU  since 
1960  and  has  visited  most  of  the  places 
associated  with  that  period. 

The  total  cost  of  the  tour  is  $595 
and  mcludes  all  expenses  except 
food  and  souvenirs.  An  :\ir-conditioned 
bus  with  lecture  facilities  will  be  provided 
for  the  tour. 

"The  tour  is  not  specifically 
geared  to  students,"  said  Dr.  Herdman. 
"It  would  be  useful  for  everyone  who  is 
interested  in  early  American  CivU  War, 
or  Southern  history. 

"Students  find  Civil  War  history  much 
more  meaningful  when  they  can 
visit  the  actual  battlefields  and  places 
of  interest  connected  with  certain 
events,"  he  continued.  "We  read 
about,  talk  about,  and  write  about 
these  events,  but  being  there  makes 
them  that  much  more  real  and  under- 
standable." 

Persons  who  wish  more  information 
or  apphcation  blanks  may  write  to

About  50  SMC  students  are  partici- 
pating with  the  40  girls  at  the  home, 
making  the  ratio  greater  than  one-to- 
one.  The  children  there  are  not 
orphans,  but  have  been  deserted  by 
their  parents. 

Linda  Firpi  and  Ernie  Underwood 
are  in  charge  of  the  older  black  girls, 
age  13-18,  with  Darlene  Elkins  and  Judy  I 
Wright  in  charge  of  the  older  wliite 
girls.  Already  they  have  taken  the 
girls  to  town  in  small  groups  to  shop. 
And  recently,  they  visited  SMC  for  a 
swim  party  and  supper. 

The  younger  girls,  age  6-12,  are 
under  Frances  Weigand  and  Arlene 
Webb.  Their  activities  include  baseball 
and  horseback  riding  and  a  trip  to 
the  planetarium  on  Lookout  Mountain, 
In  December  the  girls  will  spend  a 
weekend  at  SMC  in  Thatcher  Hall. 
A  movie  and  Christmas  party  are 
included  among  other  plans  for  their 
visit. 

Dominic  Orsini  is  in  charge  of  the 
boys  at  Bonny  Oaks.  A  basketball 
game  is  scheduled  for  Dec.  12  in 
the  SMC  gymnaisum  between  the 
guys  from  Bonny  Oaks  and  SMC. 
(Just  for  the  record,  the  last  time 
this  game  was  played,  SMC  was 
badly  beaten.) 

A  tutoring  program,  under  Jeannie 
Denski,  is  being  started  at  Backman's 
Home,  which  is  located  12  miles  north  | 
on  Lee  Highway.  They  are  currently 
in  the  process  of  interviewing  the 
40  boys  and  1 0  girls  there  to  determine  | 
their  needs  and  abilities. 

The  New  Testament  Witnessing 
program  is  mainly  under  Chuck 
Brannaka,  the  six  other  strong  leader 
under  him  and  a  nucleus  of  1 5 
members.  They  meet  in  the  Student

ydroponics  sinks  roots  into  Collegedale  soil 


-s  is  the  science  of 
11  plants  with  water  containing 
Jefnutrients  in  a  soilless  process. 
I&lest  terms,  hydropomc 
EZm  gardening  is  a  method  of 
P  !  nlants  in  a  non-soU  medium 
Kworld's  newest  agricultural 

fcoponics  was  experimented  with 
KI  World  War  II  for  the  purpose 
lling  f'«li  vegetables  for  so  diers 
E  WO"!''  have  been  otherwise 
llssible  D'-  Gericke,  from  the 
Lrsity  of  California,  developed 
1  extended  hydroponics  for 
Letcialuse. 
le  used  noimedium,  such  as  sand 
avel,  to  support  the  root  structure 
Bantsand hold  the  nutrient 
Xlion,  but  rather  a  wire  screen. 
■Collegedale  Hydroponics  had  its 
linning  when  William  Burkett, 
■nmanager  of  the  Village  Market, 
Ik  an  interest  in  hydroponics 
[ill  two  years  ago.  Mr.  Burkett 
liloped  the  industry  in  cooperation 
I  Charles  Fleming,  the  general 
ess  manager  of  SMC. 
r.  Fleming,  who  is  in  charge  of 
loverall  development  of  college 
listries,  along  with  related  commer- 
■finance,  had  this  to  say  about  the 
(nningcf  the  industry:  "When  we 
[went  into  it,  we  found  no  one 
[e  that  would  supply  our  needs. 
Wouldn't  get  started,  because  we 
Idn'tget  parts,  so  we  decided  to 
Ime  the  hydroponics  center  for 
Eastern  area  of  the  United  States." 
tor  anyone  interested  in  hydroponic 
ling,  the  industry  will  provide  all 
materials  needed.  They  will 
[icate  as  much  as  possible  of  the 


house  in  their  manufacturing  plant 
and  assemble  the  rest  on  the  spot 
In  addition  to  this,  they  will  supply 
all  the  information  needed,  as  well  as 
the  nutrients  necessary  for  plant 
growth. 

The  physical  plant  of  Collegedale 
Hydroponics  consists  presently  of 
one  head  building  which  houses  the 
offices  and  manufacturing  facility, 
two  large  greenhouses,  or  Gro-Master 
Hydrogardens,  and  one  small  green- 
house. By  the  end  of  November, 
another  large  greenhouse,  built  in 
their  own  "quantut  hut  style,"  and 
two  smaller  home  garden  units,  termed 
"green-geni  hydrogardens,"  should  be 
in  operation. 

Contents  of  the  buildings 
consist  primarily  of  48  fiberglass 
trough  16  feet  long  and  30  inches 
wide  contain  sterile  sand.  This 
sand  serves  only  as  a  base  to  hold  the 
root  structure  of  the  tomatoe  plants. 

About  three  times  a  day  as  liquid 
nutrient  is  pumped  into  the  trough, 
fdling  them  to  the  brim.  The  solution 
remains  in  the  trough  for  30  minutes 
and  then  drains  back  into  the  tank  by 
gravity.  During  the  rest  of  the  day,  the 
tomato  plants  just  He  in  the  sun  and 
grow. 

It  is  estimated  one  building  will 
produce  about  50,000  lbs.  of  hy- 
droponic tomatoes  per  year.  Ninety- 
five  per  cent  of  the  tomatoes  are 
perfect  in  size  and  shape. 

Because  of  the  conditions  in 
which  the  tomatoes  are  grown,  they 
are  picked  dead  ripe,  in  contrast  to 
having  them  picked  green  in  conven- 
tional greenhouses,  and  have  a  shelf 
life  of  approximately  two  weeks

without  the  necessity  of  refrigeration. 

When  Mr.  Fleming  was  asked  about 
;he  benefit  of  this  operation  to  the  schooj 
he  said,  "Right  now  this  is  not  a  profit 
making  operation,  due  to  the  great 
amount  of  research  done.  We  hope 
by  March  or  April  it  will  become  one. 
We  have  been  delayed  by  the  in- 
ability to  get  things  when  we  need 
them  and  at  the  right  price." 

No  students  are  employed  at 
Collegedale  Hydroponics,  as 
employees  must  be  full-time  workers, 
because  of  the  detailed  work  and 
technicalities  involved.  It  would  be 
unpractical  to  hire  students,  due  to 
high  student  tumover  and  instability 
of  prolonged  working  hours.  It  is 
hoped  some  students  can  be  employed 
in  manufacturing  in  the  future,  as  the 
industry  progresses. 

Although  almost  any  vegetable 
can  readily  be  grown  hydropomcally. 


some  of  the  most  economical  and 

profitable  are  tomatoes  and  cucumbers, 
I  because  of  the  extended  life  and  bearing 

period  of  each  individual  plant. 
I      Tliere  are  several  advantages  of 

growing  by  hydroponic  methods. 

The  controlled  environment  used  in 

hydroponic  farming  allows  elimination 
lof  chemicals,  disease,  and  insects,  which 
(are  such  a  common  problem  to  other 

types  of  fanning. 

Because  the  product  is  healthier,  its    . 

life  is  extended  to  a  great  degree.  The 

growing  period  is  lengthened,  because 
'it  is  possible  to  grow  vegetables 

tlirough  an  entire  year,  rather  than  by 

seasons. 

Collegedale  Hydroponics  is  soon  to 

change  its  name  to  Gro-Master  Hydropon-

addresses 
Student  Senate 


The  fifth  Student  Assocation  Senate 
meeting  began  with  SA  President 
Utchfield  introducing  Senator  Robert 
Zima  as  the  appointee  to  fill  the    , 
Executive  Vice  Presidential  vacancy. 
Litchfield  told  the  Senate  that  in 
Zima  he  saw  someone  with  whom  he 
'  could  work  weU  and  someone  with 
enthusiasm  for  the  job-  The  Senate 
unanimously  approved  the  appointment. 

Zima  addressed  the  Senate 
statiM^how  he  hoped  to  "pump  new 
So  the  SA.  He  discussed 
several  new  ideas  which  mcluded 
ooktag  into  new  approaches  to  chapels. 
Vice  resident  Zima  stated  that  many 
ofhis  plans  may  be  idealistic,  but 
iToriy  through  visionary  plans  can 
his  goals  be  accomphshea. 

Senator  Haskell  Williams,  chairman 
of  the  SA  project  committee,  reported 
on  three  proposed  projects.  These 
were(l)contributmgmoneytothe 
worthy  student  fund,  (2)  s"PPOrtmg  the 
Nicaragua  Mission  beyond  the  $  1 ,000 
which  is  currently  contributed  annually 
by  the  SA  and  (3)  a  special  SA  contin- 


gency fund  which  is  an  experimental 
project  to  assist  individual  students 
with  their  personal  mission  and 
evangelistic  projects.  The  Senate  mil 
further  discuss  the  appropriation  of 
these  funds  at  dieir  next  meeting. 

The  Senate  passed  a  resolution  for 
the  establishment  of  a  committee 
to  study  the  administration  's 
rationale  for  their  ban  on  beards  and 
to  study  student  feeling  on  this 
subject. 

The  next  item  of  business  was  a 

'■  discussion  of  further  study  on  pant- 

'  suits  as  general  campus  wear  for 
women.  A  representative  of  the 
administration  will  be  present  at 
the  next  Senate  meeting  to  field 
questions  on  this  subject. 

Don  Bogar,  SA  treasurer, 
presented  to  the  Senate  the  revised 

'  SA  budget.  Bogar  explained  that 
the  reason  for  the  revision  was  the 
increased  enrollment  this  year. 
After  some  discussion  of  i  few 
keypoints,  the  Senate  approved  the 

I  revised  budget.

Agenda  Supplement 

S.A.  Project  Definitions. 

A.  NICARAGUA  GRANT 
The  grant  would  be  used  for 
sustenance  of  the  current 
S.A.  Mission  Program  in 
progress.  The  finds  are 

for  the  regular  operating 
budget  and  would  not  be 
used  in  expansion.  Included 
on  that  budget  are;  translater, 
domestic,  food,  medicines, 
vehicle  maintenance  and  in- 
surance. 

Recommended  appropria- 
tion: 53,000. 

B.  STUDENT  INITIATIVE/ 
RESOURCES  FUND 
This  fund  would  be  under 

the  supervision  of  a  committee 
consisting  of  three  Senate 
appointees.  Students  engaged 
in  aid  projects  could  submit 
requests  to  this  committee 
for  dispensation  for  specific 
items.  These  funds  would  be 
used  only  in  activities  where 
the  student  is  involved 
personally  whether  in  time  or 
resources.  The  committee 
would  be  responsible  to 
determine  the  need,  validity, 
and  degree  of  involvement  of 
the  requester,  and  would  be 
required  to  report  back  to 
the  Senate  on  its  activities 
and  appropriations  periodically. 
Recommended  appropria- 
tion: S200. 


C.  WORTHY  STUDENT  FUND 
This  grant  would  be 
advanced  to  the  Worthy 
Student  Fund  which  under 
the  direct  supervision  of 
Mrs.  Laurel  Wells  (Student 
Finance).  The  funds  are 
dispersed  to  students  under 
extreme  need  in  appropriate 
amounts. 

Recommended  appropria- 
tion: $50. 

D.  Additional  Recommendation 
At  the  end  of  the  year,  any 
amount  left  in  the  S.A. 
"Appropriations  and 
Contengencies  Fund"  (bud- 
geted as  $4200.)  would  be 
advanced  to  above  projects, 
as  decided  by  the  Senate. 

Continuing  S.A.  Policies 
Committee. 

This  committee  is  to  study 
continuing  policies  of  the  S.A. 
This  is  a  policy  whereby  the  Senate 
would  vote  on  an  issue  and  at 
the  same  time  make  this  issue 
binding  on  succeeding  Senate(s). 
This  pohcy  would  give  continuity 
to  S.A.  Policy.  At  the  present  time 
there  is  nopolicyand,  thus,  the 
S.A.  can  wander  in  many  cou.il- 
less  directions. 

The  Continuing  policies  would 
be  binding  only  on  such  issues 
as  would  be  specified  at  the 
passage  of  that  (those)  parti- 
cular issue(s). 
The  problem  is  to  create  a 
continuing  policy  relatively  easy 
to  be  passed,  when  a  more  perm- 
anent policy  is  felt  to  be 
needed,  and  at  the  same  time 
while  making  it  somewhat  diffi- 
cult to  revoke,  not  so  difficult 
that  should  the  policy  become 
a  road-block  to  student  progress, 
that  it  could  be  changed. 
Committee  on  S.A.  Organization. 
There  have  been  several  people 
asking  about  several  areas  of 
the  Student  Association  struc- 
ture especially  concerning  the 
social  areas. 'They  wonder  if 
we  are  not  somewhat  dupli- 
cating functions. 
A  committee  is  being  formed 
to  study  the  Student  Association 
structure  and  do  some  investi- 
gation on  all  aspects  to  find  out 
what  exactly  each  officer  is 
elected  to  do. 


"I've  learned  a  lot  about  cars.  I 
used  to  think  that  1  was  a  pretty  good 
mechanic,  but  this  automotive  class 
has  shown  me  how  much  I  didn't 
know."  Thus  stated  Lew  Jultl,  a 
student  taking  the  automotive  fund- 
amentals class. 

The  requirements  for  the  class  are 
as  follows:  two  tune-ups;  rebuilding 
one  engine,  one  carburetor,  and  one 
alternator  or  generator;  a  brake  job 
on  all  four  wheels;  working  on  an  air- 
conditioner;  and  one  optional  project. 

The  students  have  to  round  up  their 
own  cars  to  work  on,  but  according  to 
Juhl  it  isn't  any  trouble.  "The  only  thing 
I  I've  had  a  hard  time  finding  is  the 
I  alternator  job,  but  I  put  up  a  notice  on 
■  the  bulletin  board  and  eventially  some- 
one showed  up." 

Dr.  Wayne  Janzen,  associate  professor 
of  industrial  arts,  has  .^ranged  to  get 
automotive  parts  for  wholesale.  This 
has  facilitated  the  students  greatly, 
because  besides  being  cheaper,  the 


parts  are  now  readily  available, 
"It's  a  real  blessing,"  said  Dr.  Janzei, 
"Last  year  we  spent  $20,000  for  pan 
just  for  the  class,  and  this  is  at  a  savin    I 
of  anywhere  from  30  to  50  per  cci  ^  I 
on  the  reguhrcost. 

The  class  doesn't  charge  any  labo, 
on  the  repairs  they  make,  so  this  makes  I 
it  very  economical  for  "customers"  to 
let  the  students  work  on  their  cars

Library 


Decembers,  1973         The  Southern  Accent 


The  Art  Exhibit  Series  being 
displayed  on  the  first  floor  of  McKee 
Library  for  December  is  a  student 
exhibit  of  paintings  done  by  the  Paint- 
mg  1  class  and  plaster  sculpture  pieces 
done  by  students  of  Robert  Garren, 
assistant.professor  of  art.  The  second 
'floor  exhibit  is  a  display  of  drawing  by 
the  students  in  Drawing  III. 

Usually  works  shown  have  been 
done  by  graduate  students,  but  since 
George  Walker,  instructor  of  Painting 
1  will  be  leaving  after  the  close  of  the 
first  semester,  paintings  by  his  students 
will  be  displayed. 

Besides  teaching  in  the  Art  Depart- 
ment, Mr.  Walker  does  architectural 
illustration  for  architects  in  this  area. 
Both  students  and  instructors  have 
expressed  their  desire  for  Mr.  Walker 
to  move  his  studio  from  California  to 
the  Chattanooga  area. 

Malcolm  Childers,  who  will  join 
the  SMC  staff  second  semester  to 
succeed  Mr.  Walker  is  now  in 
CaUfornia  finishing  his  Master 
of  Fine  Arts  degree. 

In  January,  etchings  and  drawings 
done  by  Mr.  Childers  will  be  on 
exhibit  in  McKee  Library. 


$1000    brought  in 
by  WSAAC  stuff-in 


GRE  applications 
close  Wednesday 


Over  $1,000  came  in  last  month  in 
the  area's  response  to  WSMC's  mass 
mailing  promotion. 

Last  month  30  or  40  students, 
along  with  WSMC's  full-time  staff, 
pitched  in  and  stuffed  1 1 ,000  direct 
mail  pieces.  "The  response  to  our 
WSMC  Stuff-in  was  great!  And  we  surely 
want  to  thank  all  those  kids  who  took 
time  to  help,"  said  Jim  Walters,  WSMC's 
Development  Director. 

The  mailing  promotion  was  for  two 
purposes.  Approximately  7,000  mail 
pieces  were  sent  to  Chattanooga's 
Civic  Leaders  and  culturally  interested 
individuals.  These  people  were  invited 
to  look  over  the  enclosed  Program  Guide 
and  return  a  self-addressed  postcard 
if  they  wanted  to  become  a  regular 
receiver  of  the  monthly  guide. 

Another  4,000  mail  pieces  were  sent 
to  WSMC's  current  Program  Guide  mail- 
ing list  and  to  area  Adventists.  A  letter 
along  witli  a  Program  Guide,  was  sent 
inviting  these  folk  to  become  charter 
members  of  WSMC's  Month  Club-a 
group  of  individuals  who  beUeve  in  the 
station  to  the  tune  of  $5.00  a  month. 


"So  far,"  says  Walters,  "we  have  received 
just  over  100  members.  But  if  we  are  to 
continue  our  present  plans  for  improving 
our  listening  service,  we  need  200 
members." 

One  WSMC  enthusiast  put  his  thoughts 
on  supporting  WSMC  with  $5.00  a  month 
this  way:  "That's  about  the  cost  of  one 
stereo  album.  And  I'd  rather  pay  WSMC 
that  $5.00  a  month  and  let  them  do  the 
work  of  playing  the  albums." 

Three  hundred  people  have  requested 
.to  be  placed  on  the  Program  Guide 
maihng  list  so  far.  More  are  being 
received  every  day,  according  to  WSMC 
officials.  The  Program  Guide  mailing 
list  now  has  approximately  2,500 
names,  and  hopes  are  for  an  eventual 
5,000. 

The  WSMC  Stuff-in  was  held  on  Tues- 
day, November  13.  The  cafeteria's 
main  baquet  room  was  filled  with  env- 
elope boxes.  Program  Guide  boxes,  and 
60  mail  bags.  Students  would  come  and 
work  for  an  hour  or  so  and  then  leave. 
But  more  students  would  then  appear 
to  take  the  places  of  departing  students.

Departmental  basketball  has  started,

eliminated  from  the  tournament  after 
losing  their  first  two  games.  Those  teams 
eliminated  were  Behavioral  Science,

Science  became  the  victim  of  two  up- 
heavals as  Talge  dumped  them  100-33, 
and  P.E.  II  unmercifully  pounded  them 
1 19-38.  In  the  only  real  close  game, 
Biology  I  came  from  a  1 1  point  deficit 
with  three  minutes  left  to  upend  a

ISunday-  Bicentennial 
of  the  Boston 
Tea  Party 


Dec.  16  dawned  bright  and  fair 
Ion  Boston.  Shopkeepers,  merchants, 
lilors,  colonists,  and  loyal  Englishmen 
juonged  the  streets-nothing  unusual. 

e  topic  of  tlvree  ships  moored 
Biietly  in  the  harbor  awaiting  un- 
loading came  up  frequently,  "I  wonder 
that  the  radicals  will  do  about  that  tea?" 

Samuel  Adams  was  wondering,  too! 

le  could  remember  the  act  passed 
n  1761  that  gave  the  customs 
IfTicers  of  the  East  India  Company 
t  to  "invade"  private  homes 
Ind  warehouses  to  search  for  smuggled 
(oods,  and  the  Sugar  Act  of  1 764, 
(he  Stamp  Act  of  1 765 ,  then  the 
Mcaratory  Acts  which  gave  England 

le  power  to  tax  the  colonists  on 
jverything  they  bought  from  the 
pother  country  (they  couldn't 
|uy  from  any  other  nations).  Only 

e  years  ago  there  had  been  a 
lonftontation  of  Redcoats  and  Boston 
jolonists  over  the  quartering  of  troops 

iithe  colonist's  homes-that  was  the 

teton  Massacre.  For  an  activist  like 
n  Adams,  a  Tea  Act  and  those 

hiee  ships  in  the  harbor  were  some 
jood  reasons  for  asserting  his  rights 
|herall  these  other  insufferable  laws. 
Tlicre  was  a  deadline  on  those  sliips; 

fey  had  to  be  unloaded  by  Dec.  17th 

t  their  cargo  would  be  seized  by 

bsloms  officials.  That  wasn't  any 

|od  either,  according  to  Sam  Adams. 

|fler  the  colonists  simmered  down  and 
e  excitement  was  over,  the  tea  would 
ytventually  be  sold. 


The  man  of  action,  Sam  Adams, 
had  led  the  patriots  in  agreeing  to 
resist  the  authorities,  but  every- 
thing came  to  a  standstill.  Nobody 
knew  what  was  coming  next. 

And  then  it  was  Dec.  16.  One  more 
day  till  the  customs  officials  would 
act.  Eight  thousand  Bostonian  activists 
gathered  at  the  Old  Soi'th  Church 
that  evening  as  the  ships'  owners 
pleaded  with  the  governor  to  let  the 
ships  return  to  England-to  no  avila. 
The  shipowner  reported  to  the 
gathering  that  Gov.  Hutchinson  wouldn't 
back  down  and  Sam  Adams  rose  and 
declared,  "This  meeting  can  do  no 
more  for  the  country." 

What  followed  is  anybody's  guess. 
Some  authors  claim  that  these 
colonists  rushed  out  in  great  excite- 
ment sweeping  down  to  Griffin's 
Wharf  and  acting  like  the  savages  they 
had  disguised  themselves  to  be. 
Other  authors  hold  that  these  patriots, 
with  orderly, .methodical  and 
tremendously  conservative  determi- 
nation, moved  down  to  the  wharf. 
Whatever  the  case,  every  patriotic 
American  knows  that  these  "Mohawks," 
some  150  of  them,  strode  on  board 
the  three  ships  while  other  colonists 
kept  authorities  ftom  interfering. 
Three  hundred  and  forty-two  tea 
chests  where  hacked  open  and  thrown 
into  the  harbor  waters-$90,000  worth. 
And  those  shipowevers  and  the  East 
India  Company  could  hardly  contain 
theU  wrath.

The  initial  resistance  of  Americans 
to  the  "oppression"  of  English 
bureacrats  had  begun. 

Hardly  had  the  tea  sunk  to  the 
ocean  floor  when  England  had  already 
taken  action  on  this  unruly  group  of 
colonists.  The  "Intolerable  Acts" 
were  passed.,  such  as  the  Boston  Port 
Bill  which  prohibited  any  ship  to  enter 
the  Boston  harbor-starving  the 
dependent  colonists  was  their  aim. 
Along  with  this,  but  not  directly  the 
result  of  the  Intolerable  Acts,  came 
the  increased  quartermg  of  troops. 
Of  course  these  independent  colonists 
resented  the  further  boardmg  of 
troops  in  their  homes  for  many  of 
these  individuals  soldiers  were  rather 
"nasty  and  ill-tempered,"  making 
outrageous  demands  upon  the  family. 

Now,  Boston  and  the  state  of 
Massachusetts  no  longer  stood  alone 
in  their  defiance  of  the  treatment 
England  was  giving  them-the  twelve 


other  colonies  rallied  in  support. 
They  elected  delegates  to  the  first 
CONTINENTAL  CONGRESS  on 
Sept.  5,  1774,  almost  a  year  after 
the  "Tea  Party"  escapade,  and 
because  of  the  Boston  Port  Bill  which 
was  still  in  effect. 

After  the  first  armed  conflict  on 
April  18, 1775,  in  which  Paul 
Revere  took  his  famous  ride  to  arouss 
the  Minutemen,  the  thirteen  states 
were  committed  to  a  course  of  action 
that  brought  them  face-to-face  with  an 
all-out  battle  to  preserve  their  rights 
as  free  English  citizens.  The  Declaration 
of  Independence  was  drawn  up  by  the 
Continental  Congress  and  adopted  on 
July  2, 1776. 

America  was  now  on  the  road  to 
freedom  and  indepence-aU  because 
of  a  man  named  Sam  Adams,  three 
ships  carrying  tea,  a  Tea  Tax,  and 
the  Boston  Tea  Party.

Chem.   prof,  hired 


Southern  Missionary  College  has 
ended  a  ten  month  search  for  a 
chemistry  professor  with  the  hiring  of 
Paul  Gebert,  Ph.D.  of  Gainsville, 
Florida,  says  Melvin  D.  Campbell, 
chairman  of  the  Chemistry  Depart- 
ment. 

A  vacancy  has  existed  in  that  depart- 
ment since  last  February  when  Dr. 
John  Christensen  retired.  He  has 
continued  to  teach  while  the  coUege 
looked  for  a  replacement. 

Earlier  this  fall  Dr.  Winston  Craig 
of  Austrialia  was  hired,  but  he  was 
unable  to  obtain  a  working  visa. 


Beginning  with  the  1 974  fall  term, 
Dr.  Gebert  will  be  teaching  organic 
chemistry  and  biochemistry  here  at 
SMC.  A  1966  graduate  of  SMC, 
had  received  his  doctorate  degree 
in  organic  chemistry  from  die 
University  of  Florida.  Presently  he 
is  teaching  at  the  Santa  Fe  Community 

College  in  Gainsville. 

"We  had  Dr.  Gebert  on  campus  not 
longago,"Dr.CampbeUsaid.  "Heis 
a  quick  thinker,  and  IbeUeve  he  wdl 
move  with  the  students."  He  is  married

Hello,  Good-bye 

Earlier  this  semester  1  read  a  statement  by  the  late 
Hairy  S.  Truman,  in  which  he  was  describing  some  of  his 
feelings  as  President  of  the  United  States.  He  said,  "No 
one  who  has  not  had  the  responsibility  can  leaUy  under- 
stand what  it  is  Uke  to  be  President,  not  even  his  closest 
friend  or  members  of  his  family.  There  is  no  end  to  the 
chain  of  responsibility  that  binds  him,  and  he  is  never 
aUowed  to  forget  that  he  is  President."  I  wish  I  had  said 
that  in  regard  to  being  the  Southern  Accent  editor. 

Without  going  into  any  of  the  details  of  the  circumstances 
which  have  forced  me  into  this  situation,  it  will  suffice 
to  say  that  I  am  resigning  from  the  position  of  editor. 

To  fill  the  vacancy  created,  two  Accent  staff  members 
will  be  going  into  a  co^ditorship  for  second  semester. 
Ric  Carey  and  Steve  Grimsley  are  now  responsible  for 
the  publication  of  this  newspaper.  They  are  both  com- 
petent in  the  skills  necessary  to  edit  a  student  newspaper. 
I  have  no  questions  as  to  their  success  m  their  new  positions. 

It  is  never  easy  to  "change  horses  m  the  middle  of  the 
stream,"  but  when  it  is  necessary,  the  best  must  be  made  of 
the  situation. 

One  thing  is  essential  to  the  success  of  this  change.  Tie  new 
editors  must  have  the  fuH  confidence  and  trust  of  those  they 
work  with.  It  is  imperative  that  they  not  be  looked  upon 
as  substitutes,  but  rather  they  must  be  acknowledged  as 
the  full-fledged  editors  of  this  paper. 

I  am  deeply  indebted  for  the  respect  and  consideration 
that  has  been  shown  me  during  this  past  semester.  I  only 
request  that  my  successois  be  shown  the  same  respect. 

And  so,  with  this  issue,  I  have  terminated  my  respon- 
sibilities as  editor.  Ric  and  Steve  have  only  begun  theirs. 
Join  with  me  in  giving  them  the  full  support  they  need  to 
publish  a  student  newspaper  of  the  highest  journalistic

In  this  lawless  age  of  wild-eyed  rapists  and  other 
undesirables  lurking  in  the  shadows,  we,  the  students  of 
SMC  can  breathe  easily  because  we  are  protected  by  the 
courageous,  stalwart,  and  fearless  nightwatch  squad. 
Standing  head  and  shoulders  above  everyone  dse  is 
Marshall  Dillon,  acclaimed  as  the  fastest  wallde-talkie 
this  side  of  Four  Comers. 

Not  only  do  they  protect  us  from  the  evfl  without,  but 
also  from  the  debauchery  within-ourselves.  They  strive 
to  keep  the  moral  fiber  from  coming  completely  unwoven 
in  those  moments  when  we  have  those  tendencies  to  be 
undesirable. 

Roses  are  red, 

\^olets  are  blue. 

And  dear  ni^twatchmen, 

We  salute  you!!

To  the  Editors, 

Re.  the  singing  of  "Side  by  Side"  this 
last  Friday  night  at  Vespers. 

I  feel  that  the  nearly  compulsory  hold- 
ing of  hands  during  the  singing  of  this 
song  has  lost  the  cormotation  of  frateriu- 
ty  and  unification  which  overwhelmed  me 
the  first  time  1  stood  with  two  sweaty 
hands  clasped  in  mine,  as  I  lustily  sang  a- 
long  with  the  Heritage  Singers. 

But  after  six  or  seven  singing  groups 
had  all  exhorted  the  audience  to  stand  and    response  to  the  push  of  a  butti 
join  hands  and  "sing  along,"  I  began  to  get    button  being  the  phrase  "We'll  join 
a  ritualistic  feeling  similar  to  the  one  ex-        hands  together." 
perienced  in  church  as  a  worshiper  stands, 
sits,  kneels,  stands,  sings,  sits,  all  in  a  care- 
fully ordered  way  that  can  be  predicted 
months  in  advance  because  of  its  unvary- 
ing sequence. 


As  I  watched  the  congregation  all 
standing  hand  in  hand  Friday  night, 
it  was  reminiscent  of  kindergarten, 
where,  to  a  child,  it  is  wrong  to  sing 
"Onward  Christian  Soldiers"  without 
marching  around  the  room,  or  to  repeat 
"Here  is  the  church. . ."  without  going 
throught  the  motions. 

Again,  I  was  reminded  of  a  roomfuli 
of  some  carefully  programmed  robots 
all  raising  and  lowering  their  arms  in 
the 


1  personally  feel  some  innovation  an 
spontaneity  in  religious  convocations 
would  be  in  order. 

Sincerely, 

Geoff  Owens

What  is  greatness? 


Today  would  be  the  last  time 
the  beloved  old  professor  would  meet 
with  his  philosophy  class.  As  usual 
the  students  rose  to  their  feet  when 
he  came  in.  As  usual  he  began  with  the 
question  "what  is  on  your  minds  today?,' 
jnd  as  usual  the  topic  was  suggested. 

"GREATNESS;  you  ask. ...greatness!!" 

Greatness  is  to  leave  in  the  furrow 
of  life  the  abundant  seen  of  a  generous 
heart;  to  walk  through  the  dusty  valley 
where  the  poor  and  disinherited  of  the 
earth  are  forced  to  travel,  exchanging 
their  bitterness  and  displeasure 
for  real  joys  and  satisfactions.. .To 
wear  the  sandals  of  humility  to  traverse 
the  roads  of  life  removing  the  reefs 
and  stones  in  which  the  helpfless 
and  the  forgotten  ones  stumble. 

Greatness  is  to  mitigate  the  bitter 
mourning  of  the  widow  with  actions 
and  wordi  of  kindness  and  sympathy; 
to  silence  the  weeping  of  a  child  with 
a  kiss  impregnated  with  love;  to  fill 
the  emptiness  of  an  orphan's  heart  with 
paternal  understanding  and  affection. . . 
To  extract  affliction  from  the  hearts 
that  wither  under  their  load  of  sorrow 
and  fill  them  with  the  delight  of  a 
meaningful  life. 

Greatness  is  to  show  the  pilgrim 
the  way  he  must  travel;  to  share  the 
light  of  truth  with  the  souls  that 
struggle  in  the  darkness  of  error; 
lo  give  spiritual  warmth  to  the  lonley 
hearts  that  shiver  in  the  coldness  of 
human  indifference. . .  to  offer  the 
water  of  heaven  to  a  brother  that 
faints  in  his  thirst  of  justice,  for 
love  and  for  truth. 

Greatness  is  to  love.  To  love  much 
and  to  love  everyone;  to  gather  throns 
and  sow  flowers;  to  give  to  life  more 
than  what  one  gets  out  of  it. .  . 

Therefore,  if  your  heart  beats 
greatness,  if  your  chest  requires  the 
air  of  the  summit,  don't  let  the 
artifical  glory  of  the  false  heroes 
seduce  you.  Today  they  exhibit  their 
"greatness"  up  on  high,  tomorrow  only 
a  trail  of  ashes  will  remain  in  their 
luminous  wake,  and  a  shapeless 
shadow  where  their  lives  faded  away. . . 

You. . . ,  you  be  humble  and  be 
brave.  Step  out  of  the  crowd  to 
become  what  God  wants  you  to  be. 
Don't  mind  walking  inthe  silence  of 
!the  anonymous.  Only  try  to  live  so 
1  shoever  follows  in  your  footpath, 

ay  find  a  flower  in  every  footprint, 
Nd  a  pearl  of  truth  and  beauty 
Werever  your  heart  lost  one  more  drop 
Pf  life. . . 

And  if  later,  looking  back  from  the 
pd  of  the  journey,  you  see  that  the 
prtd  was  beautified  by  your  brief 


stay,  you  may  close  your  eyes  with 
a  departing  smile;  you  will  have 
conquered  true  GREATNESS." 

The  professor  said  no  more. 
And  after  a  half-smile  and  a  gentle 
movement  of  his  hand  he  left  the 
room  and  went  his  way. 

The  room  was  crowded,  and  yet, 
for  some  reason,  there  was  silence. 
The  only  sound  that  crossed  the  air 
was  the  fading  echo  of  two  worn-out 
shoes  and  a  white  old  cane  moving 
slowly  along  the  wooden  hallway.

for  that  long  awaited  date,  or  the

speed  during  inclement  weather,  bad 
roads,  hUls  and  curves.  These  are  a 
few  of  the  rules  of  the  road,  and  surely 
those  of  which  we  expect  others  to 
obey.  _,     , 

For  your  own  safety  and  others 
slow  down  when  approaching  an 
intersection  or  railroad  crossing. 
Watch  out  at  all  times  for  small 
chddren  at  play.  Yes  let  us  at  all 
times  Keep  Christ  in  OrirDrmng. 
The  practical  aspects  ol  thinking, 
..ciwiL  and  lalkina  safety  on  our 


highways  and  in  our  homes  through 
concern  for  others  helps  buUd  quality 
and  character  in  people,  and  this  can 
(vastly  improve  our  world. 
'      If  you  could  conjure  up  the  Ghost 
jofChristmas  Past,  he'd  tell  you  the 
sad  true  story  of  the  thousands  of 
families  whose  Christmas  season  was 
destroyed  by  a  holiday  traffic  accident. 
And  the  real  pity  is  Uiat  most  of  these 
"accidents"  are  preventable.  With 
this  in  mind,  we  must  all  work  together 
10  make  Christmas  and  the  new  year  a 
more  enjoyable  time  for  everyone. 


except  for  the  nerve  endings  calming 
down  after  that  shock  of  not  getting 
the  instant  service  that  we  expect. 

There  is  an  answer.  The  phone 
system  can't  really  be  blamed  this  time. 
It  is  we  that  are  the  ones  at  fault.  We 
are  the  ones  tymg  up  the  lines.  The 
College  is  on  its  own  independent 
system  the  Centrex.  It  connects  all 
the  college  phones  within  800  lines  so 
that  it  is  complete  in  itself  without 
the  whole  community  being  involved. 
Collegedale,  Apison  and  Ooltewah  are 
all  in  the  Chickamauga  system  and 
Chattanooga  is  separate  too.  So  this 
sometimes  is  the  reason  why  we  have 
trouble  getting  out  of  the  SMC  system. 
The  Collegedale  or  Chattanooga  systems 
may  be  having  trouble. 

The  problem  boils  down  in  essence 
to  the  fact  that  Collegedale  and 
Chattanooga  and  the  surrounding  areas 
are  having  growing  pains.  They  aren't 
able  to  keep  up  with  the  demands 
because  they  can't  always  get  the 
equipment,  nor  do  they  have  the  man- 
power it  takes  to  get  it  all  installed 
the  moment  that  it  is  requested.  It 
isn't  that  the  systems  are  inadequate 
within  themselves.  They  are  doing  the 
best  they  can. 

As  £ar  as  the  college  Centrex  system 
goes,  there  is  the  capacity  for  800 
phones  which  is  more  than  all  the  dorms 
and  the  adminstration  combined.  It  is 
close  but  we  don't  run  over.  But 
there  aren't  that  many  chcuts.  The 
main  problem  has  been  after  10:30  p.m. 
when  the  dorms  are  doing  the  calling. 
Say  40  guys  call,  that  is  40  circuts 
tied  up  and  then  say  that  10  people  take 
the  receiver  off  the  phone,  they  are 
tying  up  another  10  lines  for  no  reason 
at  all.  It  is  going  to  take  consideration 
on  the  part  of  us  all  to  get  this  worked 
out  and  have  a  system  that  is  the  way 
that  is  ought  to  be.  Here  are  a  few 
suggestions: 

1.  Try  to  understand  that  if  you 
have  a  problem  it  may  be  the  fault  of 
another  system  other  than  the  college's. 
Be  patient  they  are  having  growing  pains 
too. 

2.  Don't  leave  the  phone  off  the  hook. 
If  you  don't  want  the  call  don't  answer. 
If  the  noise  bothers  you,  move  the  phone 
and  put  something  over  it  to  muffle 

the  sound.  Or  if  it  is  on  the  waU  stuff 
something  between  the  bells.  (I  didn't 
say  to  distruct  the  phone,  be  careful.) 

3.  If  you  have  someone  calling 
you  and  you  can't  get  them  to  quit, 
hang  up  as  soon  as  you  know  it  is  them. 
If  you  gasp  turn  red  and  die  on  the 
floor,  they  will  love  it  and  be  back 

for  another  reaction  as  soon  as  you 
have  recovered  enough  for  another. 

4.  Remember  to  dial  correctly. 
You  use  the  3  digit  extension  if  calling 
within  the  system.  If  caUing  out  dial 
9  and  if  calling  Chattanooga  dial  9 
then  7  and  your  number. 

5.  Hang  the  phone  up  firmly  and 
you  won't  get  the  ring-back. 

6.  Love  your  neighbor,  be  patient 
and  considerate. 

Remember  they  can  trace  the  phones 
that  are  just  leaving  the  receiver  off 
the  hook.  And  if  they  continue  to 
have  complaints  they  are  going  to 
start  disconnecting  those  phones.  You 
wiU  have  to  pay  to  have  them  reconnected. 
So  leave  your  receiver  on  unless  you  don't 
really  want  the  service. 

Just  think  some  people  don't  have 
phones  in  their  rooms,  or  even  their 
houses.  Let's  appreciate  what  we  have, 
even  with  its  little  quirks.

Colporteur   Club  to 
recruit  for  project 


«^. 


Rafiel  Mendez  ,  perfonning  his  own 
composotion  "Clavalitos,"  during  the 
SMC  band  concert  Saturday  night. 

Just  before  joining  the  band  in  "Stars 
and  Stripes  Forever,"  Mendez  than!<ed 
the  band,  and  its  director  Dr.  Jack  Mc- 
Oarty,  for  learning  the  accompaniment 
to  his  compositions  so  well  in  just  a  five 
I  day  period 


Tlie  SMC  Student  Colporteur  Club  is 
seeking  100  members  "interested  in  serv- 
mg  God  and  their  neighbors"  in  order  to 
help  the  club  achieve  ambitious  goals  set 
lor  1974. 

At  a  breakfast  on  Dec.  2  the  club  mem 
lership  voted  unanimously  to  recruit  at 
least  "one  out  of  every  15  students  on 
campus"  for  a  special  project  called 
"Operation  Tyner." 

Student  colporteurs  and  their  associ- 
ates have  set  plans  for  the  Tyner  area, 
with  an  eye  toward  an  anti-drug  and  per- 
.onal  evangelism  thrust  in  that  locale. 

"Operation  Tyner"  is  the  result  of  a 
L-ontact  by  a  student  colporteur  with  a 
parent  in  that  area,  which  is  relatively 
near  to  the  SMC  campus.  Some  parents 
m  the  Tyner  area  feel  that  they  have  faced 
more  drug-related  problems  than  most  lo- 
cations of  their  size  and  type,  and  have 
expressed  a  desire  for  help  from  students 
who  have  a  faith  and  a  will  to  share  it. 

"We  have  the  answer  to  these  person's 
problems,"  said  Student  Colporteur  Pres- 
ident Dave  Green.  "We  have  the  drug 
journals  and  related  magazines  to  distri- 
bute as  a  tangible  link  in  the  chain  that 
will  lead  them  to  their  answer-  -  Jesus 
Christ!" 

"We  sincerely  intend  to  present  the 
citizens  in  the  Tyner  area  with  working 
evangelists,  students  who  care  what  hap- 
pens to  each  of  the  persons  in  that  area 
and  who  can  introduce  them  to  Christ," 
Green  said. 


The  pen  of  prophecy  has  noted."lf 
there  is  one  work  more  important  than 
mother,  it  is  that  of  getting  our  publica- 
tions before  the  public,  thus  leadmg  them 
to  search  the  Scriptures.  Missionary  work 
-  -  introducing  our  publications  into  lam- 
Jies,  conversing,  and  praying  with  and  for 
them-  -  is  a  good  work,  and  one  which  will 
educate  men  and  women  to  do  pastoral 
labor." 

That  same  author  of  inspiration  wrote 
that  "when  church  members  realize  the 
importance  of  the  circulation  of  our  lit- 
erature, they  will  devote  more  time  to 
this  work.  The  church  must  give  her  at- 
tention to  the  canvassing  work.  This  is 
one  way  in  which  she  is  to  shine  in  the 
world." 

The  colporteur  club  pleads  for  those 
people  who  are  anxious  to  "let  their 
light  so  shine  before  men,  that  their  good 
works  might  glorify  their  Father  in  hea- 

"We  hope  every  teacher  and  student 
will  respond  with  a  hearty  'here  am  i, 
send  me,"  said  Green. 

Anyone  interested  in  more  informa- 
tion should  contact  the  club  faculty  spon- 
sor, Jan  Rushing,  or  student  colporteurs, 
Dave  Green,  Dave  Weigley,  Lyle  Anderson 
Dennis  Grau,  Denver  Cavins,  Charlotte 
James,  or  Gloria  "Cookie"  Webb. 

Dr.  Douglas  Bennett,  Religion  Depart- 
ment chairman,  will  be  guest  speaker  at 
the  SMC  Student  Colporteur  Club  meet-

The  B.S.  Nursing  Department  is 
providing  for  its  own  needs  and  those 
of  others  as  well  by  operating  a  public 
health  clinic  in  Chattanooga. 

Begun  early  last  year  by  B.S. 
nursing  students,  the  clinic  is  operated 
by  seniors  under  the  direction  of  the 
Giattanooga  Public  Health  Department 
10  fulfill  the  requirements  of 
Community  Health  Nursing",  a 
course  in  public  health  and  psychiatric 
nursing. 

In  previous  years,  students  taking 
ihis  course  were  assigned  three  or 
four  families  from  various  communities 
10  visit  and  treat  as  necessary. 
However,  health  trends  turned  to 
clinics,  so  during  first  semester  of 
ast  year  five  students  laid  the  ground 


The  clinic  is  within  walking 
distance  of  the  residents  of  our  tract," 
explains  Mrs.  Judy  Winters,  assistaiit 
professor  of  nursing.  "We're  trying 
to  meet  the  needs  of  the  people  and 
this  includes  making  ourselves  avail- 
able at  their  convenience." 

The  students  work  four  days  a 
week  at  the  clinic.  The  first  three 
days  are  spent  making  house  calls  to 
the  three  families  assigned  to  each 
student.  During  these  visits  students 
instruct  the  household  in  proper 
health  care;  they  keep  records  of  their 

observations  and  make  out  a  care  plan 

for  their  patients. 

On  Thursday  the  students  work  at 

the  clinic  from  1 1  a.m.  to  3  p.m. 

The  students  do  everything  a  graduate 


work  for  developing  a  clinic,  and  second  nurse  would  do,  such  as  child 


^mester  the  project  was  put  into 
operation. 

The  Public  Health  Department  has 
divided  Chattanooga  into  tracts. 
SMC  was  given  a  predominantly  black, 
low  socio-economic  tract  in  East 
Chattanooga.  The  cUnic  is  held  in  the 
I  oorrmiunity  center  of  a  large  housing

inations,  immunizations,  screening 
tests  for  specific  problems  such  as 
visionary  or  hearing  problems,  and 
dispense  vitamins  and  over-the-counter 
drugs,  such  as  aspirin.  If  work  is  needed 
beyond  the  students'  capabilities, 
the  patient  is  referred  to  a  doctor. 

Because  the  clinic  is  part  of  a 
governmental  agency,  the  govern-

ment  supports  it.  All  medicines  and

The  Conununity  Health  Nursing  > 
class  is  offered  both  semesters,  with 
special  arrangements  made  for  the 
operation  of  the  clinic  through  the 
summer  months.  The  class  is  divided 
into  a  number  of  equal  groups,  and 
each  group  spends  four  weeks  at  the 
clinic.  Students  provide  their 
transportation. 

Because  of  the  governmental 
affiliations  of  the  clinic,  students  may 
not  give  religious  instruction  during 
their  home  visits.  But  "through 
friendships  gained  as  a  result  of  our 
work,  we  hope  to  acquaint  the  people 
with  our  church,"  said  Mrs.  Winters. 
It's  an  excellent  opportunity  to 
witness." 

Readers  are  invited  to  stop  by  the 
chnic  on  Thursday  afternoons  and 
observe  the  students  in  action. 
"We  might  even  give  you  some  free 
health  care,"  said  Mrs.  Winters  with  a  I 
smile.

Christmas  morning:  Get  up  early  and

here  around  4  B.C.  has  to  do  with  the  en-

Enjoy  Christmas  dinner.  Eat  slowly. 
You'll  feel  satisfied  with  less  food.  Talk 
a  lot  so  you  won't  have  time  to  eat  too 
much  before  everyone  else  is  stuffed.  Go 
heavy  on  the  salad  and  easy  on  the  turkey

After  lunch,  pack  up  some  of  lunch  and 
some  of  what  you  were  reading  Christmas 
eve  and  go  visit  a  shut-in  church  member 
or  some  one  in  a  nursing  home.  If  you 
don't  know  who  to  visit,  ask  your  pastor. 

Finally,  put  off  the  dessert  you  saved

"The  Georgia-Cumberland 
tour  during  the  early  spring  of  1974. 
The  15  day  tour  will  take  students  to 
Portugal,  Spain,  Italy,  France,  and 
Switzerland."  Dr.  Frank  Knittel 
continues,  "In  order  to  maintain 
General  Conference  certification, 
elementary  school  teachers  must 
participate  in  educational  and  profes- 
sional activites  periodically  during 
the  summer  months.  The  educational 
thrust  will  be  denominational  history 
on  those  countries.  Study  of  the 
educational  system  in  Europe,  and  a 
cultrual  introduction  to  their  art 
and  literature.  The  leader  will  be 
Elder  Don  Aalburg,  educational 
secretary  for  the  Geo.  Cumb.  Conf. 
Actual  dates  for  the  tour  will  be  late 
May  and  early  June." 

Teachers  are  required  to  participate 
in  something  of  this  order  every  three 
years.,  Dr. Knittel  also  mentioned,  whether 
it  is  classwork  or  tours  like  this.  This  will 
apply  toward  certifcation  but  not 
toward  school  credit. 

Cost  for  the  tour  will  be  between 
$900-31000. 

The  tour  will  fly  from  Atlanta  to 
New  York,  Lisbon,  Spain,  Italy,  France 
and  Switzerland.

Mr.  Kohoutek  discovered  comet 


0 


Early  this  year  a  Czech  astronomer 
working  at  a  German  observatory  noticed 
an  unfamiliar  spot  on  a  photograhic 
plate  he  had  made  March  7.  Within  a 
few  days  it  was  clear  that  the 
object  was  a  dramatic  new  comet- 
Kohoutek,  named  for  its  discoverer. 
It  has  steadUy  been  drawing  closer, 
heading  in  the  general  direction  of  the 
sun  around  which  it  will  whip  on 
Dec.  28.  At  its  closest  approach  it 
will  be  within  15  solar  diameters  of 
the  sun  and  the  sun's  rays  wQl  be  16 
times  as  hot  as  they  are  on  earth. 

If  all  goes  as  predicted,  this  will 
be  the  most  spectacular  heavenly 
body  that  any  living  person  has  seen. 
It  will  probably  become  about  as  bright 
as  Venus  but  possibly  much  brighter; 
its  tail  will  appear  four  times  as  long 
as  the  distance  between  the  pointers 
ofthe  Great  Dipper.  According  to 


the  best  present  observations  and 
calculations,  the  orbit  is  a  parabola. 

If  this  is  so,  the  comet  has  come  from 
outer  regions  to  which  it  will  return. 
Created  in  galactic  space,  it  has  never 

before  entered  the  solar  system.  In 
such  case  it  may  differ  in  composiuon 

from  the  planets,  asteriods,  comets, 
and  dust  of  our  system. 

If  all  goes  well,  the  best  views  wiU 
come  after  the  comet  has  looped  past  the 
sun    The  nearly  straight  tail  will  then 
have  been  activated  by  solar  wind  (part- 
icles nying  out  of  the  sun)  and  by 
radiation.  After  sunset,  in  the 
western  sky,  from  the  fifth  to  the 
fifteenth  of  Jan.  there  will  be  a 
favorably  combination  of  darkness 
and  high  brightness  of  the  comet. 
There  are  other  times  when  one  should 
look.  From  about  the  twentieth  of 
Dec.  until  the  day  after  Christmas  the 


comet  will  rise  in  the  eastern  sky 
shortly  before  the  sun  comes  up.  It 
WiU  then  get  too  close  to  the  sun  for 
safe  looking.  After  it  passes  the  sun  on 
the  twenty-eighth  it  wUl  not  set  m 
the  west  until  the  sun  has  gone  down. 
Then  it  will  be  brightest  but  the  skies 
will  be  light. 

The  evening  sky  may  prevent 
observation.  It  may  be  clouded  all 
the  time-probably  will  be  on  any 
particular  day.  The  orbit  may  not  be 
exactly  as  predicted.  The  comet  may 
break  up  as  it  passes  around  the  sun. 
So  the  best  recommendation  would  be 
not  to  take  chances.  If  clear  nights 
are  predicted  between  Dec.  15  and 
Christmas,  one  can  get  up  in  the 
morning  by  six  and  look  in  the  east 
where  the  sun  will  rise.  There  one 
will  see  the  very  bright  comet. 


New  mall  planned  for  Plaza 


According  to  Charles  Fleming, 
general  manager  of  finance  and  develop- 
ment for  Southern  Missionary  College, 
plans  are  being  made  to  open  a  new 
mall  in  the  College  Plaza  in  the  comer 
between  the  Campus  Shop  and  the 
Mercantile.  This  space  is  presently 
being  used  by  College  Distributors,  but 
in  January  they  will  be  moving  to  their 
new  warehouse. 

This  will  open  up  12,000  square  feet; 
enough  room  for  9  or  10  shops,  depend- 
ing on  their  size.  Although  the  Board 
1  will  not  be  voting  on  the  mall  until 


their  February  13  meeting,  many 
businesses  have  already  shown  interest 
in  leasing  space. 

The  Campus  Shop  is  crowded  and 
needs  some  additional  space.  They  are 
considering  taking  out  a  wall  and  ex- 
panding into  some  of  the  available 
area.  If  they  do  this,  they  will 
probably  have  a  separate  section  for 
clothing. 

CoUegedale  Interiors  is  planing 
on  moving  into  the  mall  as  soon  as 
possible.  Among  the  businesses  that  have 
shown  interest  are  a  shoe  store. 


electronics  shop,  and  an  interior 
decorator. 

If  everything  goes  as  planned  the 
mall  will  develop  gradually  until  it 
reaches  completion  sometime  in  the 
late  summer  of  early  fall.

Don  t  worry  about  it,"  he  said 

Vera  smiled.  It  was  wonderful  to 
have  such  a  considerate  husband,  she 
thought,  although,  of  course,  every 
woman  did. 

Suddenly,  the  six-tube,  all-plastic 
automatic  door  record-player  said 
someone  is  here  to  see  you  " 

John  flicked  the  switch  of  the  wire- 
less, seven-tube,  all-plastic,  limited- 
range  radio  transmitter  and  said, 
"Who  is  it?"  His  voice  was  carried 
outside,  where  the  Wilsons  were 
standing,  having  just  gotten  off  the 
all-plasUc7:ll.  "No  automatic  door 
timer?"  Paul  Wilson  asked.  His  voice 
was  picked  up  on  a  second  limited- 
range,  all-plastic  radio  transmitter 
and  reproduced  inside  where  John 
could  hear  it. 

''Vera  forgot  which  train  you  were 
on,"  John  Smithers  said.  "Sorry." 

He  got  up  and  went  to  the  door. 
Through  the  cellophane  window,  he 
could  see  Paul  Wilson  and  his  wife 
Alice.  Paul  was  wearing  a  soft  metal 
suit,  the  kmd  that  was  all  the  fashion 
rage  in  1973.  His  wife  was  wearing  a 
plastic  soil<overed  dress  which  had  a 
pretty  patina  of  extra-thin  roses  and 
peonies  growing  out  of  it. 

John  pressed  a  rubberized  button 
inside  the  plastic  door  and  a  hidden 
one-tube  suction  device  opened  it.  As 
soon  as  Paul  and  his  wife  were  inside, 
the  suction  device,  sensing  an  increase 
in  air  pressure  inside  the  house,  closed 
the  door  automatically. 

Vera  came  over  to  greet  the  guests. 
All  sat  down  on  the  superbly  comfort- 
able, helium-filled  plastic  couch  that 
hovered  a  few  feet  off  the  floor  in  the 
living  room.  As  they  were  seating 
themselves,  the  couch  sank  a  Uttle 
lower. 

"Before  I  forget,"  Paul  Wilson  said, 
"you  were  going  to  lend  me  your 
automatic  pen,  until  I  get  a  chance  to 
change  a  tube  in  mine." 

"I'll  get  it,"  John  said.  "It's  up- 
stairs." 

John  was  closer  to  the  all-plastic 
vacuum  lift  than  the  all-plastic  auto- 
matic stairway,  so  he  took  the  lift  up 
to  the  twelfth  level  of  his  apartment. 
He  pressed  the  letters  "PEN"  on  the 
keyboard  of  all  the  all-plastic  Home 
Mini-Computer  and  watched  through 
a  cellophane  window  as  a  set  of  alpha- 
bet blocks  was  rearranged  by  rubber- 
ized suction  motors  to  spell  out  the 
location  of  the  object  he  sought.  It 

'°'PEN:  CLOSET  6' SECTOR  7A 

John  went  over  to  closet  6,  took  out 
the  automatic  pen  and  because,  hav- 
ing walked  across  the  room,  he  was 
now  closer  to  the  all-plastic  auto- 
matic stairway,  took  it  downstairs. 
'Quite  a  device,  this  automatic 
pen,"  Paul  Wilson  said.  "Truly  a  mar- 
vel of  1973!" 

Yes,"  John  Smithers  readily 
.j,.-ed.  "This  plastic,  automatic  pen 
is  truly  amazing.  Through  a  eel- 
lophance  window,  one  can  see  the  in- 
terior, where  a  lifetime  supply  of  a 
special  kind  of  liquefiable  plastic  is 
kept.  The  special,  liquefiable  plastic 
is  heated  to  its  melting  point  by  a 
small  internal  fUament;  this  filament 
is  turned  on  by  an  internal  miniature 
one-tube  radio  receiver  respondmg  to 
signals  sent  out  by  an  internal,  minia- 
ture one-tube  radio  transmitter;  this 
transmitter,  placed  beside  the  point,  is 
energized  only  when  pressure  is  actu- 
ally placed  on  the  point.  This  assures 
that  the  plastic  will  be  Uquid-and 
flow  onto  the  paper-only  when  ac- 
tuaUy  needed.  Since  the  plastic  is  so- 
Udified  when  not  in  use,  elunmated 
forever  is  the  danger  of  the  pen  leak- 


mg  in  ,  say,  a  shirt  or  suit  pocket.' 

"Why,  I  can  remember  way,  way 
back,"  Paul  said,"when  pens  used  to 
leak  all  the  time!" 

'\rhingssure  are  different  now  in 
1973!"  Joha&Bithers  said,  grinning. 

"Yes,"  John  Smithers  remarked 
philosophically.  "I'm  afraid  to  say 
it,  but  we  are  getting  on  in  years." 

"That  remuids  us,"  Alice  Wilson 
said  proudly.  "Today  is  our  anniver- 
sary! Paul  and  I  were  married  just 
forty-seven  years  ago  this  evening- 
and  how  the  world  has  changed  since 
then!" 

"Alice  wore  one  of  the  first  ceUo- 
phane  wedding  dresses,"  Paul  Wilson 
said,  beaming  proudly. 

The  conversation  continued  ami- 
ably for  a  few  minutes.  Then,  sud- 
denly, Ahce  Wilson  broke  into  it  by 
saying  to  her  husband,  "Can  we  tell 
them  now?" 

"I  suppose  now  is  as  good  a  time  as 
any!"  Paul  Wilson  said,  smiling  at  his 
wife. 

"Tell  us  what?"  Vera  inquired. 
"Well,"  Paul  said,  "Ahce  and  I  were 
thinking.  At  97,  we  are  starting  to  get 
along  in  years  and  we  thought,  if  we're 
ever  going  to  have  that  faniily  we  talked 
about,  we'd  better  start  now!" 
"What  have  you  decided  on?" 
"Well,"  Paul  continued,  "Alice 
wanted  a  girl  and  I  wanted  a  boy, 
so  we  let  the  all-plastic,  two-tube 
heads-or-tailed  generator  decide. 
Alice  won." 

"I  told  him  we'll  have  a  boy  next 
tune,"  Alice  said,  smiling. 

"And,  anyway,"  Paul  added, 
"Alice  let  me  have  my  choice  of  eye 
color  and  hair  color.  I  picked  blue 
hair  and  orange  eyes-my  favorite 
color  combmation." 

"And  what  about  skin  color?" 
John  asked. 

"Well,"  Ahce  said,  "I  preferred  Ori- 
ental, but  my  husband  wanted  black. 
So  it  was  back  to  the  all-plastic,  two- 
tube  heads-or-tails  generator!" 
"And?" 

"Paul  won  this  time,"  Ahce  said. 
"Black  it  is!" 

"At  least  I  won  something!"  Paul 
said,  good-naturedly. 

"Do  you  remember,"  John  inter- 
jected, "when,  long  ago,  some  people 
actually  thought  it  was  inferior  to  be 
black?" 

"Yes,"  Paul  said.  "Thank  goodness 
that,  in  1973,  we  enjoy  an  enlightened 
world  of  eternal  peace  and  brotherhood 
for  all!" 

"Do  you  remember,"  Vera  said,  "in 
the  old  days,  when  women  had  to  car- 
ry their  children  for  nine  months  m- 
stead  of  nine  days?" 

"Yes,"  Ahce  said,  "Of  course,  now 
we  can  control  the  rate  of  any  bodily 
process  by  the  appropriate  speed-up 
or  slow-down  chocolates-whose 
coatings,  incidentaUy.are  organic 
derivatives  of  plastic." 

"In  1973,"  Paul  Wilson  jointed  out, 
"we  don't  need  luck.  Tha.  cs  to  mod- 
ern science,  there  hasn'.t  been  a  birth 
defect  in  decades!" 

"Yes,"  John  Smithers  repeated, 
slapping  his  knee  again,  "we  certainly 
are  lucky  to  be  living  in  1973! 

"You  know,"  Vera  said,  "that 
starts  me  thinking.  Tell  me,  of  aU  the 
wonders  of  1973,  which  one  do  you 
think  is  the  greatest?" 

"A  good  question,  Paul  Wilson 
said.  He  pondered  a  moment.  "I 
guess  1  might  say  it's  our  plastic  air 
cars  with  helium-filled  tires,  rub- 
berized exteriors,  cellophane  win- 
dows, and  plastic,  suction-type  mo 
tors."  He  paused  a  moment.  "Or  per- 
haps its  our  all-plastic  skyscrapers." 

"What  do  you  think,  darling?"  Vera 
asked  her  husband. 

"Well,"  John  Smithers  answered, 
"I  think  it's  die  medical  devices.  I 


felt  pain  recently-at  (he  History >Iu- 
si;um,  where  they  had  this  special 
tooth  set  up~and  let  me  tell  you,  it 
was  horrible!" 

"Of  course,"  he  hastened  to  add, 
'no  one  here  on  Earth,  or  on  any  of 
the  colonized  planets  feels  it  any- 
more." 

"Speaking  of  the  colonized  planets,' 
Alice  said,  "I  think  they're  the  most 
amazing  thing  about  1973.  The  way 
we've  been  able  to  send  families  to 
Mars  and  Venus  and  have  them  live 
long,  happy  lives  up  there  in  all- 
plastic  communities!" 

"I  understand  they're  even  mining 
raw  cellophane  on  Venus  now,"  Paul 
said.  "It  should  help  bring  prices 
down  even  further-although,  of 
course,  in  1973  every  human  being 
can  easily  afford  anything  and  every- 
thing he  wants!" 

"True,  John  said.  "Poverty,  want, 
crime,  and  class  differences  have  been 
wiped  out  for  years.  And,  thanks  to 
the  advanced  state  of  1 973  psychol- 
ogy, even  the  most  menial  jobs  are 
made  to  seem  fascinating!" 

"Say,  Vera  J'  John  said  at  length. 
"I  just  realizedlomething." 

"What's  that,  my  darling?"  Vera 
asked. 

"You  never  answered  your  own 
question.  You  never  told  us  what  you 
consider  to  be  the  most  amazing  thing 
about  living  in  1973!" 

"You're  right,"  Vera  admitted.  She 
paused  a  moment,  looking  at  the  thin 
pinpricks  of  starUght  peeping  through 
the  cellophane  ceiling.  TTie  refreshing 
Canadian  air  felt  good  against  her 
skin. 

"Wen?"  John  asked. 

"I  think,"  Vera  said,  "it's  the  Met- 
ford-Jorgenson  equation." 

"Why  yes!"  Alice  said.  I  should 
have  thought  of  that  myself!  You 
mean  equation  number  three,  of 
course-the  one  which  proves  mathe- 
matically that  there  is  a  God!" 

"It  was  discovered  only  two  years 
ago,"  Vera  said, "  in  1971.  It's  meant 
a  great  deal  of  comfort  to  me  and  to 
all  our  fellow  human  beings." 

"Yes,"  John  said,  "and  when  the 
proper  factors  are  substituted,  the 
equation  even  yields  the  fact  that  this 
God  is  all-powerful  and  aU-loving  and 
that  there  is  a  purpose  and  meaning 
to  the  universe." 

"To  think,"  Paul  said,  "philosophers 
and  theologians  have  pondered  this 
question  for  ages.  But  only  in  1973 
do  we  have  a  mathematics  advanced 
enough  to  provide  the  answer!" 

"I  wonder,"  Vera  said  thoughtfully, 
"what  the  world  will  be  Uke  for  our 
children?" 

"Well,"  Paul  said,  "for  one  thing, 
it  will  have  even  greater  wonders- 
wonders  we  can't  even  imagine  now, 
in  1973." 

"I  read  that,  by  1979,  they  expect 
the  first  all-cellophane  spaceship," 
John  interjected. 

"And,  "Alice  added,  "one  scientist 
even  believe  that,  someday,  we'U  be 
able  to  create  an  entire  cellophane 
planet  and  send  it  out  into  space  for 
people  to  live  on.  Then  people  on  one 
side  of  the  world  will  be  able  to  see 
the  people  on  the  other!" 

"But,  best  of  all,"  Jim  said,  "one 
group  of  researchers  now  thinks  that, 
by  the  eariy  1980's,  they  should  be 
able  to  turn  light  rays  into  ceUophane 
and  gravity  into  plastic!" 

Vera  nestled  her  head  into  her  hus- 
band's shoulder.  Her  hair  tickled 
pleasantly  and  he  smiled.     I  don  t 
care  about  tomorrow,"  she  said,  cas- 
ting her  eyes  back  upwards  to  the  stars. 
"Sure  things  are  bound  to  get  more 
advanced-but  I'm  happy  enough  to; 
■  day,  living  in  the  paradise  of  1 9/3.

Since  last  week's  issue  nine  games  nave

150  new  students  descend  upon  SMC  campus 


The  ranks  of  SMC  have  swelled 
,i,  ^oje  this  semester  with  an  increase 
if  ISO  more  students  and  more  are  ar- 
iving  each  day.  As  of  late  Tuesday,  the 
imoUment  stood  at  1446  including  31 
indents  on  the  Orlando  campus  acco  rding 
lArno  Kutzner,  Director  of  Admissions 
id  Records.  Tliis  marks  the  greatest 
lux  of  new  students  to  SMC  between 
mesters  in  the  colleges  history. 

The  1446  students  does  not  in- 

lude  an  additional  43  academy  seniors 

iho  are  expected  to  take  a  course  for 

credit  through  the  SMC  extention 
logiams  offered  at  Forest  Lake  Academy, 
rgia-Cumberland  Academy  and 
lurelbrook  School. 

Dr.  Kutrner  stated  that  he  ex- 
its the  enrollment  to  level  off  in  the 
[eighborhood  of  1500  students.  There 
ire  about  200  first  semester  students 

10  did  not  return  for  second  semester. 
[esaid  that  this  was  the  normal  drop 
ilween  semesters  of  this  group.  Kutzner 
longht  that  only  about  25%  transferred 

where. 

students  now  reside  in  the  three 
lonnitoiies.  Thatcher  and  Jones  Hall  house 
'564  women  and  there  are  362  men  living 
■uTalgeHall. 

The  efficient  and  organized  manner 
iWhich  registration  took  place  this  sem- 
ler  contrasted  markedly  from  those 
iiienced  by  SMC  students  in  the  past. 
Kutzner  attributes  the  smoother  oper- 
[on  to  the  students  being  more  familiar 
the  system  and  more  staff  and 
ipment  at  registration.  He  hopes  to 
ieditc  registration  even  more  this  coming 
by  reducing  the  registration  time  to  a 
and  a  half.  Dr.  Kutzner  said  that  he 
not  want  to  make  registration  to  hasty 
luse  each  student  needs  sufficient  time 
work  out  his  schedule  with  his  advisor. 

When  questioned  about  the  possibility 
Jpie-registration  in  the  future,  he  thought 

11  eady  registration  presents  more  problem: 
111  10  students  and  administration  than 

'Ives.  Dr.  Kutzner  said  that  one  of  the 
%»  problems  that  the  admissions  office 
"penences  is  dealing  with  the  400  to  500 
"fiulc  changes  that  occur  in  student 
^&ms  in  the  first  ten  days  of  classes. 
lUd  emphasize  that  he  is  open  to  any 
l8"tion  from  students  which  might 
"*«  for  a  better  registration. 


Dr.  Futcher,  Academic  Dean,  counsels  Darlene  Griffith  during  a  smoothly  operated  second  semester  registration. 

Chapel  splits  into  eight  separate 
nneetings 
the  twenty  second  of  Jan.

Those  seeking  more  interesting 
chapel  programs  may  be  attracted  by 
a  pilot  program  which  will  feature 
tight  different  topics  by  the  various 
departments  and  will  be  initiated  at 
chapel-time  next  Tuesday. 

Bob  Zima,  SA  vice-president, 
said  that  this  new  chapel  system  has  a 
.  ;wo-fold  aim;  1)  To  provide  an  oppor- 
tunity for  a  greater  exchange  of  ideas 
and  activities  through  the  aid  of  groups, 
organizations,  and  individuals;  2)  To 
■provide  a  system  where  the  S A  can 
possibly  meet  more  of  the  individual's 
interests  than  can  be  done  with  the 
present  system. 

If  interest  is  shown  in  this  type 
of  chapel,  and  if  it  serves  the  needs  of 
the  student  body,  the  program  will  be 
continued-possibly  once  a  month. 

Attendance  will  be  taken,  just 
like  a  regular  chapel-maybe  even  stricter 
than  chapel,  Zima  warns,  because  the  SA 
wishes  to  impress  the  importance  of  being 
there  even  if  the  situation  is  different. 

To  those  who  may  be  apathetic 
Zima  issues  a  special  message,  "Your  SA 
is  undertaking  this  experiment  hoping 
to  serve  you  better.  If  no  interest  or 
support  is  shown  iii  this,  don  t  expect 
it  to  happen  again." 

A  sample  of  the  eight  subjects 
which  will  be  presented  runs  Uke  this: 

1)  Mr.  Delmar  Lovejoy,  physical 
education  professor,  wiU  be  leading  a 
group  in  the  physical  education  center. 


Students  should  come  prepared  to  do 
excercises  and  other  things. 

2)  Dr.  Frank  Knittel  and  Kenneth 
Spears,  dean  of  student  affairs,  will  be 
holding  a  forum  to  field  questions  from 
the  students. 

3)  The  Home  Economics  Depart- 
ment will  have  a  panel  of  individuals 
representing  various  ethnic  groups  to 
discuss  and  compare  their  cultural  life 
styles. 

4)  And  last,  but  certainly  not 


least.  Dr.  Melvin  Campbell,  chairman 
of  the  Chemistry  Department,  will  be 
posing  as  an  Indian  guru  as  he  fills  in 
his  group  on  the  philosophy  of  Hinduism 
which  he  finds  very  similar  to  our  Ad- 
ventist  philosophy. 

The  locations,  topics,  and  more 
for  each  of  these  "mini-chapels"  will 
be  posted  conspicuously  prior  to  the 
chapels.

A  renaissance 


TTie  editorial  job  is  not  to  cater  to  every  varying 
frame  of  reference  on  this  campus.  Neither  is  it  their 
job  to  alienate  themselves  from  the  mainstream  of 
thought  to  become  the  single  crying  voice  in  the  wilder- 
ness. 

In  shaping  a  Collegiate  newspaper,  one  of  the 
most  important  functions  is  to  provide  a  sounding- 
board  for  student  expressions.  It  is  our  hope  that  the 
Accent  can  be  a  stimulus  for  thought  and  a  place  for 
exchange  of  opinion  and  ideas  through  letters  and 
essays.  Criticisms  are  needed  because  editors  need 
food  for  thought  and  if  criticisms  are  not  heard  the 
editors  either  become  over  confident  or  apathitic  about 
their  publication. 

The  Sour/ier"/lcce"f  is  dedicated  to  the  con- 
stant improvement  and  building  up  of  Southern 
Missionary  College  or  it  strives  to  uphold  Seventh- 
day  Aventist  principles. 

As  editors  those  are  some  of  the  joumalites 
practices  we  subscribe  to  as  the  basis  of  our  newspaper. 
-A  responsible  newspaper  does  not  merely  stick  to 
reporting  the  obvious  news,  but  also  investigates  the 
not-so-obvious  problems  of  the  community. 

-A  newspaper  betrays  its  responsibility  to  its 
readers  when  it  becomes  a  blend,  public  relations  organ, 
publishing  only  that  which  will  reflect  well  upon  the 
community. 

-The  newspaper  which  arbitrarily  refuses  to  pub- 
lish opinions  not  held  by  the  majority  becomes  one  less 
responsible  voice  in  the  community's  free  market  place 
of  ideas. 

We  at  the  Accent  plan  to  print  interpritive  articles 
of  various  events.  We  hope  to  provide  you  with  the  "why" 
and  how  it  applies  to  you.  We  will  deal  with  issues 
not  directly  related  to  life  on  this  campus  in  order  to 
extend  your  vision  beyond  the  boundaries  of  Southern 
Missionary  College. 

Some  things  remain  unchanged.  We  will  follow 
the  principles  of  objective  reporting  and  we  plan  to  keep 
the  paper  relevant  to  students  and  student  life  here  at 
SMC.  This  is  how  we  wiU  attempt  to  provide  you 
turkeys  out  there  in  newspaper  land  with  our  best.

The  Silent  Coup 

It  was  hideous  yet  it  was  not  visible.  It  was 
malodorous  yet  it  was  not  traceable  by  smell.  It 
gur^ed  and  bubbled  its  way  through  mankind  in  a 
quiet,  unobtrusive  way.  It  laid  waste  a  multitude  of 
blessings  and  talents  that  would  have  obliterated 
the  inconsistencies  of  life. 

It  sought  to  repress  any  form  of  striving  or 
doing  or  aiding  or  caring.  It  never  sought  its  victim, 
it  was  merely  there  if  a  person  wished  to  imbibe. 
And,  as  it  made  itself  more  available  its  popularity  grew 
among  men. 

People  began  to  breathe  and  wallow  in  its 
refuge  and  found  it  secure.  It  seeped  through  each 
empty  pore  and  inhabited  each  cubicle  of  potential 
in  each  individual  allowing  for  its  admission.  And, 
as  it  entered  into  man,  it  siezed  his  inner  organs  and 
made  them  cold  and  numb>voiding  him  of  feeling. 
It  lowered  the  clenched  fist  formally  raised 
against  gross  injustices.  It  relaxed  the  thought  of 
sincerely  complimenting  another's  accomplishments 
or  earnest  efforts.  It  dissolved  the  glowing  smile 
into  a  meaningless  line  on  a  forgotten  face. 

Hie  walking  corpses  grew  in  number  and 
multiplied  and  in  a  New  York  City  alley  a  lonesome 
junkie  scrawls  out  his  epitaph  on  a  filthy  wall-APATHY 
KILLS.  .     .

Runnin   Scared 


"You  have  to  get  me  out  of 
here,"  he  said,  trembling  like  a  scared 
rabbit . 

"Why?"  I  asked  him. 

"She's  after  me,"  he  said.  "You 
have  to  walk  me  to  tlie  dorm." 

"Okay,"  I  said,  and  proceeded  to 
escort  my  six-foot-three-inch  buddy 
past  the  girl  that  was  waiting  outside 
the  door.  Then  he  told  me  how  he  had 
been  trapped. 

A  girl  had  come  in  and  told  him 
she  was  working  on  the  yearbook  and 
that  she  needed  to  know  how  to  spell 
his  name.  Wanting  to  be  helpful,  he 
gave  her  his  full  name.  She  thanked 
him  and  promptly  left  the  room. 
Standing  right  outside  the  door,  she 
met  anotlier  girl  and  said  a  little  too 
loudly,  "Here's  his  name,  you  go  and 
ask  him." 

Hearing  that,  my  friend  realized 
that  he  had  just  been  tricked.  He  was 
in  this  state  of  shock  when  1  found 
liim. 

Another  fellow.  Bill,  had  a  ter- 
rible feeling  that  a  girl  in  calculus  class 
was  on  his  trail.  His  suspicions  were 
soon  justified  when  he  found  her  in 
the  Ubrary  studying  at  the  table  where 
he  usually  studied.  In  disgust  he  went 
back  to  the  dorm  to  avoid  the  trap 
that  had  been  set  for  liim.  The  next 
day  Bill  found  it  very  convenient  to 
have  one-day  flu  and  stayed  in  his 
room  all  day,  with  hopes  that  his 
pursuer  would  look  for  easier  game. 

As  a  safety  precaution.  Bill 
made  it  a  point  to  be  at  least  ten  minutes 
late  for  his  calculus  class  the  following 
day  to  avoid  any  fatal  contacts  before 
class.  The  first  one  to  notice  him  slip 
into  the  class,  of  course,  was  Judy,  his 
admirer. 


Instantly,  Bill  knew  he  was  still  in 
the  danger  zone.  He  picked  a  seat  near 
the  door  and  sat  there  with  his  eyes 
starched  in  their  sockets.  The  page  of 
his  text  was  a  blur.  It  seemed  like 
hours  before  the  class  bell  rang.  When 
it  did  ring.  Bill  was  out  of  the  door 
and  down  the  hall  to  the  men's  rest 
room  as  if  it  were  really  something 
urgent.  He  waited  there  for  a  full  ten 
minutes.  Cautiously,  he  stepped  into 
the  hail  and  made  his  way  back  to 
the  dorm. 

Bill  studied  in  his  room  again  thai  I 
afternoon,  and  except  for  mealtime, 
was  safe  until  the  next  calculus  class. 
Again  he  managed  to  come  late  to 
class  and  find  a  seat  near  the  door. 
Tliis  time,  however.  Bill  was  not  so 
lucky.  About  halfway  througli  the 
period,  the  fellow  next  to  him  handed 
him  a  folded  sheet  of  paper.  Bill, 
thinking  it  was  something  he  had 
dropped,  unfolded  it.  "Please  wait  foi  I 
me  after  class,  okay?  -  Judy,"  it 
read. 

Knowing  now  that  he  could  nolB 
the  bathroom  trick  again,  Bill  was 
frantic.  Then  the  bell  rang.  As  a  last 
resort.  Bill  asked  a.  couple  of  buddies 
to  stick  close  to  him  wliile  he  waited. 
She  came  out  of  the  classroom.  Wilhi 
smile  of  victory  already  spreading 
across  her  face,  she  approached  Bill 
and  liis  buddies.  "Hi,"  she  said.  Then  I 
with  a  flash  of  crimsou  across  her  fact  | 
and  fire  in  her  eyes,  she  blurted  out, 
"BiU,  would  you  take  me  to  the 
banquet?" 

"Yes,"  he  said.

Spoon  River 
Anthology? 

Yes  and  No 


Poetry  and  folk  song  created  an 
(ening  of  dramatic  moments  when  the 
Jpha-Omega  Players  of  Dallas,  Texas, 
[resented  the  stage  adaptation  of  Edgar 
:e  Masters'  Spoon  River  Anthology 
SI  Saturday  night  in  the  physical  ed- 
[ition  center. 

Adapted  by  actor-playwright 
larles  Aidman,  Spoon  River  came  to 
*gedale  by  way  of  Broadway,  where 
.was  produced  to  glowing  reviews  in 
i63.  But  this  production,  directed  by 
lexel  H.  Riley,  founder  of  the  Alpha- 
nega  Repertory  Company,  lacked  the 
atkle  and  dramatic  unity  that  the 
roadway  company  must  have  impar- 
W  to  the  unwieldy  script  to  sustain  it 
foi  lis  brief  14-week  run. 

Any  theatre  group  would  be  ch- 
llltnged  by  the  considerable  task  of 
Healing  a  unified  play  out  of  Masters' 
American  folk  poem  involving,  in  its 
femalized  version,  70  inhabitants  of 
liclional  Spoon  River,  111.  lying  sep- 
"alely  in  the  hill-top  cemetary  and 
speaking  their  separate  epitaphs. 

Though  the  gossip  and  confessions 
o'lliese  small-town  characters  unites 
some  ways,  the  dramatization 
stories  tends  more  to  be  an 


of  theirs 


Wning  of  individual  two-minute  read- 


is  than 


an  evening  of  theatre. 


The  Alpha-Omega  troupe's  per- 
'Wmance  emphasized  that  lack  of  coh- 
yn  fosters  lack  of  coherence.  The 
f"'  '"^to'S  were  unable  to  overcome 
™  disunity  of  the  script  through  their 
"mwork  in  production.  And  indiv- 
""'lly.  each  merely  had  his  or  her  mo- 
'nis  of  believability,  stage  presence, 
™»'amatic  intensity. 
J.      They  proved  perhaps  a  dozen

"'eyhere. 

I    Yet,  only  one  of  the  four.  Ken 
P^.was  able  to  unlock  the  audience'! 
"Bnation,  so  that  they  could  see  the 


distinct  personalities  of  gambler  Tom 
Beatty,  Negro  Shack  Dye,  attorney  and 
crook  John  Church,  the  village  idiot,  a 
Jewish  clothier,  a  local  dandy,  a  Rebel 
ioldier,  the  village  atheist,  and  hen-pecked 
RoscoePurkapile. 

Other  memorable  moments  were 
provided  by  Rhonda  Wallace,  com- 
promised German  kitchen  maid  and 
portrayal  of  Anne  Rutledge,  Abraham 
Lincoln's  ftrst  love.  Also  notable  were 
Allyn  Winslow's  inspired  oculist,  and 
Alex  Bond's  cockeyed  poetess  Minerva 
Jones,  and  young  Chinese  girl  Yee  Bow. 

Mr.  Aidman  obviously  hoped  to 
M„ify  his  adaptation  through  the  use 
of  folk  music  as  background  and  "bridge." 
Tunes  like  "Times  Are  Gettin'  Hard 
Boys,"  "Who  i-Cjiows  Where  I'm  Going," 
and  "Jimmy  Crack  Corn,"  along  with  new 
folk  songs  composed  by  Aidman  and  Naorm 
Hirshhorn,  did  add  interest,  though  not 
unity,  to  the  production.  But  the  audience 
■ould  listen  with  unninching  pleasure  only 
to  those  songs  rendered  by  Alex  Bond. 

The  enthusiasm  of  all  four  players 
was  commendable.  Though  their  charac- 
terizations suffered  by  and  large,  it  rs 
to  their  credit  that  they  managed  to  pro- 
ject (when  they  could  be  heard  distinctly) 
the  emotional  atmosphere  of  small-town 
life  and  death. 

When  Spoon  River  appeared  on 
Broadway,  Time  magazine  observed.    There 
are  three  fixed  ideas  that  Americans  Ilk   to 

entertain  about  smaU  towns .   D  they  "= 
bucoically  .dyllic;  2)  they  stunt    hwart 
and  twist  people's  lives;  3)  they  harbor  an 
ll^credible  amount  of  hanky-panky  behind 
their  primly  drawn  curtains. 

For  those  who  have  not  spent  their 
lives  in  small-town  America,  this  production 
prided  moments  of  insight.  For  those  of 

us  who  have,  the  performance  Provided 
moments  of  catharsis.  Despite  occasional 

forced  theatricality,  the  Alpha-omega

"Discipline."  That  word  conjures 
up  different  images  in  different  student's 
minds?  To  some,  it  is  a  tear-faced 
youngster  bending  over  touching  his 
toes  while  a  stern,  gray-haired  principal 
paddles  the  unfortunate's  up-ended  rear. 

The  Southern  Missionary  College 
administration  is  trying  to  change  that 
image. 

In  separate  interviews  with  the  dean 
of  student  affairs,  Mr.  Kenneth  Spears, 
and  the  chairman  of  the  Judiciary  Committee 
Dr.  Melvin  Campbell,  many  important  facts 
and  philosophies  came  into  view. 

"We  (those  on  the  Judiciary  Committee 
are  interested  in  being  inconsistent,"  said  Dr. 
Campbell.  "Now  1  really  don't  believe 
that  that's  the  case-1  don't  believe  that 
students  really  want  us  to  be  consistent. 
What  they  really  want  is  to  be  considered 
as  individuals." 

Dr.  Campbell  went  on  to  explain 
that  family  background,  the  student's 
program,  and  what  he  could  be  in  the 
context  of  the  situation  are  all  considered 
before  some  of  the  "corrective  measures" 
are  used  to  help  him  fit  into  an  Adventist 
hfestyle.  In  support  of  this  statement, 
the  committee  has  come  up  with  some 
alternatives  to  suspension  or  expulsion. 
"In  previous  years  it's  been  either 
'Go  home'  or  'Citizenship  probation,'  " 
said  Dr.  Campbell.  "Now  everyone  knows 
that  citizenship  probation  is  nothing.  So 
there's  too  big  a  gap.  You  either  do 
nothing  or  send  them  home-that's  not 
fair.  So  we've  been  trying  to  fill  the  gap 
sometimes  with  'delayed  suspension'- 
allowing  the  student  to  finish  the  semester 
and  then  say,  'Hey,  look,  your  lifestyle 
and  our  lifestyle  are  just  incompatible- 
leave.  You  can  maybe  apply  again  later 
after  this  semester  or  next  year-stay  out 
for  a  semester.'  Then  there  are  other 
ideas,"  Dr.  Campbell  adds. 

These  other  ideas  are  "counseling 
programs"  and  guidelines  that  the 
committee  feels  especially  useful.  For 
instance,  if  someone  has  been  misbe- 
having and  it  seems  that  his  car  has  been 
a  contributing  factor,  then  he  may  have 
to  park  his  car,  give  his  keys  to  the  dean, 
and  let  the  car  sit  awhile.  Or,  he  may  be 
told  to  take  the  car  home  and  leave  it 
there.  Then  maybe  a  student  wUl  be 
campus-bound  for  a  specified  length  of 
"'"°'  Apart  from  SMC's  Student  Handbook 
for  the  •73-'74  school  year,  which  explams 
in  great  detad  what  one  is  disciplined  for 
hot  is  it  determined  what  a  student  needs, 

expulsion  or  "corrective  measures; 

Dean  Spears  believes  It  depends  on 
the  problem:  "A  lot  of  judgment  is 
involved  here."  Some  considerations 
are  the  student's  influence  on  his  ac- 
quaintances or  other  studems.  the  mag- 

^tude  of  the  problem  (whether  it  s  a 
pattern  or  just  an  isolated  mcident),  and 
if  the  student  has  been  honest. 

Dr  Campbell  stated,  "I  know  this 
can  raise  some  hard  feehngs,  treating  one 
dOTerently  than  another,  because  we  have 
to  "subjective.  We  (the  Committee) 
have  to  perform  value  judgments. 

"I'd  like  to  add  that  these  pro- 
ceedings are  very,  very  much  of  an 
emotional  strain.  1  just  don  t  think 
people  realize  what  you're  going  through 
when  you're  very  close  to  the  student. 
You  see,  what  makes  it  doubly  hard  IS 
when  it's  kids  you  know,  you  ve  had 

in  your  class-you  like  them. 

Beware,  though,  fellow  students. 


Dean  Spears  and  Dr.  Campbell  want  no 
one  to  think  that  the  disciplining  bodies 
of  this  campus  are  all  "heart  and  no 
brains."  Dean  Spears  notes  that,  "You're 
not  going  to  make  everyone  happy"  and 
Dr.  Campbell  said,  "When  they  (students) 
come  to  us  they're  potentially  out-they 
could  just  as  well  be  asked  to  leave  as  not. 
The  Judiciary  Committee  is  the  last  stage 
for  the  students,  when  the  crisis  has  built 
up,  such  as  drinking,  falsification  of  leaves 
and  so  on-when  something  drastic  must 
be  done." 

Dean  Spears,  in  reply  to  the  question. 
Are  kids  disciplined  on  hearsay?"  stated 
that  when  he's  given  a  report,  he  will  call 
the  student  in  for  a  personal,  private  coun- 
sel, but  he  doesn't  discipline  on  hearsay. 
He  waits  till  he  gets  facts,  or  the  truth 
from  the  erring  student  himself. 

Why  do  students  have  to  be  discip- 
lined? 

In  the  course  of  their  conversation, 
Dean  Spears  and  Dr.  Campbell  consis- 
tently mentioned  "Christian  principals," 
"policy,"  "lifestyle,"  "guidelines,"  and 
influence."  The  Student  Handbook 
states  that  SMC  contains  "unique  features 
which  characterize  the  college,"  and  that 
the  college  has  "distinct  objectives." 
Each  "distinct  objective"  is  listed  in  the 
SMC  " '73-'74  Bulletin." 

On  page  one  is  outlined  the 
'Seventh-day  Adventist  "Statement  of 
Objectives."  These  two  statements 
outline  the  "unique  features"  of  the 
college. 

The  major  consideration  is  that 
this  is  a  Seventh-day  Adventist  college 
dedicated  to  the  advancement  of  God's 
work,  thereby  necessitating  a  genuine 
Christian  atmosphere  on  campus.  The 
knowledge  that  this  college  is  unique 
should  explain  the  "why"  for  the 
existing  rules  and  regulations. 

Sometimes  these  rules  are  found 
to  be  "dated"-that  is  they  may  not  be 
relevant  to  the  existing  situation.  When 
asked  if  the  student  has  a  right  to  request 
change.  Dean  Spears  stated  that  the 
student  should  go  through  "proper 
channels,"  such  as  the  Student  Associa- 
tion Senate.  He  added  that,  "If  a  person 
disagrees  with  policy  which  is  based  on 
principles  and  standards,  he  has  the^^ 
right  to  disagree,  but  not  to  violate." 

Although  a  number  of  cases  of 
misbehaving  students  have  come  before 
the  Judiciary  Committee,  this  year.  Dr. 
Campbell  can  only  remember  of  one 
that  was  asked  to  withdraw  immediately,^ 
(there  are  others  on  "delayed  suspension"). 

It  should  be  remembered  that 
discipline"  is  relative,  it's  subjective. 
Discipline  deals  with  emotions,  abstract 
entities  such  as,  "good,"  "evil,"  "love," 
and  others;  Christian  philosophies;  the 
reputations  of  both  the  student  and  the 
coUege;  and  the  responsibUity  of  traimng 
and  educating  young  people. 

As  long  as  time  goes  on  and  this 
college  exists,  there  wUl  be  students 
leaving  here  sometimes  bitter,  some- 
times thankful,  sometimes  indifferent. 

Perhaps  someday  you  may  And /""'^^'f

Men's  Club  active  in  sports 


I  "We  want  everyone  included," 

stated  Jesse  Landess,  sports  coot- 
I  dinator  for  Upsilon  Delta  Phi  (men's 
!  club),  referring  to  the  club's  sports 
tournaments.  "No  one  v,ill  be  excluded 
from  participation  because  they  don't 
I  live  in  the  dorm."  In  cooperation  with 
i  'Jie  men's  club,  the  SA  will  subsidize 
the  club  for  all  non-dormitory  residents 
wishing  to  participate.  This  money  will 
help  pay  for  awards  given  following  the 
tournaments. 

Now  in  progress  are  a  table  tennis 
tournament  and  a  two-man  basketball 
tournament.  The  latter  is  down  to 


the  semi-finals  and  should  be  completed 
within  the  next  two  weeks, 

A  paddleball  and  a  free-throw 
basketball  tournament  are 
presently  being  organized.  All  wishing 
to  participate,  including  village  men, 
must  sign  up  on  the  list  posted  in  Talge 
Hall  before  next  Monday. 

Landess  includes  in  his  tournament 
plans  for  spring  another  road  rally,  a  Par 
3  golf  tournament,  and  a  horseshoe  pitching. 

The  tournaments  can  be  followed  on 
tlie  charts  posted  in  the  lobby  of  Talge 
Hall.  These  show  the  winners  of  each 


match.

$1000  donated  to  WSAAC 


Just  before  Christmas,  James  Hannum', 
Director  of  WSMC  Broadcasting,  received 
a  phone  call  from  a  Chattanooga  resident. 
"I  recently  moved  in  the  area  from  Florida, 
and  find  your  programming  more  enjoyable 
than  anything  else  in  the  area.  I  would 
like  to  help  the  station  in  a  substanUal 
way  and  will  be  sending  you  $  1 ,000  worth 
of  Dupont  stock." 

Hannum,  of  course,  was  exuberant. 
The  gentleman  had  previously  joined  WSMCS 
Month  Club  (  a  group  of  people  who  give  at 
least  S5.00  a  month  to  WSMC),  but  being 
interested  in  the  cultural  programming  of 
WSMC  he  decided  to  give  a  special  Christmas 
gift  to  the  station. 

"As  people  of  our  area  hear  more  and 


get  more  participation,"  says  Jim  Walters, 
Director  of  Development. 

Walters  summed  his  behef  about 
WSMC  money-raising  in  this  manner,  "1 
believe  people  expect  to  be  able  to  pay  for 
what  they  enjoy  and  we'ie  just  giving  them 
an  opportunity."

Dr.  Ashton  to  perform 
with  Chatt.  Sym. 


Dr.  Bruce  Ashton,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  music  at  SMC,  is  slated  to  appear 
in  a  concert  with  the  Chattanooga 
Symphony  of  Dr.  Richard  Cormier,  next 
Tuesday  evening. 

Dr.  Ashton,  who  is  the  only  pianist 
for  the  Symphony  this  season,  will  per- 
form in  the  Conductor's  Concert,  and  his 
renditions  will  include  the  Concerto 
Grosso  by  YAoch\Les Djinns,  by  Franck; 
Schubert's  Unfinished  Symphony;  and 
others. 

Di.  Ashton's  invitation  to  play  for 
the  Chattanooga  Symphony  is  the  result 
of  a  joint  concert  by  the  Chattanooga 
Youth  Symphony  and  the  SMC  Orchestra 
at  SMC  last  year. 

The  Symphony  Association  does 
not  frequently  pick  musicians  from  this 


area,  as  local  artists  are  generally  not  box 
office  material.  . 

Dr.  Ashton,  on  the  SMC  faculty 
since  1968,  is  serving  his  second  term  as 
president  of  the  Chattanooga  Music 
Teachers  Association.  His  career  has 
encompassed  soloist  performances  witii 
the  CCM  Orchestra  and  the  Congress  of 
Strings  Orchestra  and  recitals  in  various 
parts  of  the  United  States. 

He  holds  the  Master  of  Music  de- 
gree from  American  Conservatory  and 
Doctor  of  Musical  Arts  from  the 
University  of  Cincinnati. 

Tickets  for  the  concert  may  be 
purchased  at  the  Symphony  office,  730 
Cherry  St.  (267-8583),  or  thiough  any 
member  of  the  Symphony  Guild. 


Senate  abolishes  two  SA  offices 


Proposals  by  Senator  Marsh  to 
change  the  social  vice  president's 
structural  relationship  to  the  SA  sparked 
considerable  debate  in  Monday  night's 
meeting  of  the  Student  Senate. 

The  action  followed  the  aboUsh- 
ing  of  the  positions  of  Social  Committee 
chairman  and  Programs  Committee  chair- 
man after  those  two  officers  resigned. 
This  leaves  the  social  vice  president  cur- 
rently in  direct  control  of  both  cortmiittees. 

The  Senate  also  decided  that  the 
present  Recreation  Committee  chairman 
has  been  unable  to  adequately  cover  the 
job  for  the  women  and  village  students. 
That  office  was  therefore  abolished,  and 


in  its  place  two  new  positions  were  cieilw 
men's  sports  coordinator  and  women  s 
sports  coordinator. 

Officers  to  fill  these  posts  are  to 
be  elected  in  the  dormitories.  Village 
students  will  be  eligible  to  run  and  vote 
for  these  offices. 

The  Senate  also  voted  upon  ap- 
pointees  to  fill  vacancies  left  by  Senawn  | 
Bradley,  Oswald,  McClarty,  and  Fiipi. 
The  new  Senators  are  Frank  Potts, 
Melanie  Thompson,  John  Huskins,  ana 
Joni  Mill.

the  money  for  a  "fix"  and  continually 
repeated,  "I'm  not  kidding,  I'll  kill  you," 
constantly  using  profane  language.  He

Petition  filed  against  re-zoning  action 


Last  summer  numerous  tracts  of  land 
in  CoUegedale  were  re-zoned,  because 
buildings  had  been  erected  contrary  to 
existing  zoning  regulations,  and  to 
facilitate  further  progress  of  construction 
CoUegedale. 

Included  in  the  re-zoning  was  a  200  by 
500  foot  lot  to  be  re-zoned  to  commercial 
at  the  southwest  corner  of  Moore  Road 
and  Camp  Road,  adjacent  to  a  proposed 
housing  development  by  Kim-De  construe 
tion  company  of  CoUegedale.  However, 
several  local  citizens  have  charged  that 
the  fact  that  this  one  plot  would  be  zoned 
commercial  in  a  residential  area  was  not 
stressed  to  the  public. 

Notices  of  the  zoning  heanng  were 
posted  and  the  required  three  meetings, 
two  weeks  apart,  were  held  in  the 
CoUegedale  courtroom.  After  the  last 
meeting,  a  vote  was  taken  and  the  tracts 
e  re-zoned. 


Later,  after  it  was  discovered  that  a 
7-1 1  type  convenience  food  store  was 
proposed  for  the  site  at  the  corner  of  | 

Moore  Road  and  Camp  Road,  a  public 
furor  ensued.  Numerous  reasons  were 
given  against  the  commercial  use  of  this 
tract:  increased  traffic,  devaluation  of 
adjacent  property,  danger  to  school 
children  due  to  the  increased  traffic,  etc. 
Petitions  for  a  re-hearing  were  ckculated 
nd  many  people  signed  them. 
I      Legally,  these  petitions  had  no  grounds 
for  action.  According  to  the  Hamilton 
County  laws  regarding  zoning  re-hearings, 
any  petition  for  a  re-hearing  must  be 
instigated  by  property  owners  living  within 
300  feet  of  the  property  in  question. 

Kim-De,  who  would  build  the  store 
1  and  then  leased  it  to  a  franchise,  already 
i  had  their  building  permit  and  could 
legally  proceed  with  construction.  How- 
r,  they  agreed  to  another  public  hear- 


ing which  was  held  on  Nov.  26  m  the 
CoUegedale  courtroom. 

During  the  hearing,  many  local  rest-        I 
dents'  objections  to  the  proposed  store 
were  refuted.  For  instance,  a  new  city 
ordinance  requires  any  company,  person, 
etc  which  would  tend  to  create  a  potential 
traffic  hazard  by  erecting  any  commercral 
interest,  to  install  proper  traffic  signals 
at  their  own  expense,  thus,  a  solution  to 
the  traffic  problern. 

At  the  end  of  the  meeting  a  straw  vote 
was  taken  and  the  outcome  was  about 
three  to  one  against  the  proposed  store. 
The  matter  has  been  given  over  to  the 
planning  commission.  It  not  appears 
that  the  interested  parties  decided  not  to 
go  against  public  opinion,  and  the 
store's  construction  is  now  being  planned. 

Since  as  of  yet  no  definite  plans  have 
been  formulated,  all  that  can  be  said  at 
the  present  time  is  that  the  tract  will

Talge,  as  well  as  S45.50  for  all  the  re- 
sidents of  Jones  Hall,  it  would  be  easily 
seen  thai  a  sizeable  sum  is  brought  in 
each  month.  The  question  is,  what 
happens  to  this? 

Mr.  Robert  Mills,  business  manager 
of  SMC,  said,  "We  look  at  the  dormitory 
from  two  directions.  One  part  of  the 
dormitory  operation  we  think  of  as  a 
hotel,    ilic  pii)  sical  quarters  where 
the  students  reside,  and  the  expense  of 
running  the  hotel  part  is  the  electricity, 
desk  clerk,  janitorial  care,  etc.  The  other 
section  is  the  dean  section;  that  is.  the 
employment  of  the  deans,  a.ssistant  deans, 
resident  assistants,  and  the  others  that 
work  with  them.  The  dean  section  is 
quite  costly  because  we  have  to  have 
qualified,  educated,  and  experienced 
people  to  be  deans  in  order  to  provide 


the  proper  counseling  and  guidance  fac- 
ilities." 

Mr.  Mills  went  on  to  say,  "We  must 
recognize  that  in  an  institution  of  any 
type,  all  of  the  various  departments  ought 
to  be  able  to  make  their  was  financially. 
A  few  years  back  when  it  was  decided  to 
build  a  new  women's  residence  hail  and 
to  allow  the  men  to  use  Talge  Hall  where 
■the  women  then  resided,  it  was  also  de- 
cided that  dorm  charges  should  be  ad- 
justed to  not  only  pay  for  the  expenses  of 
operation  encountered,  but  also  for  the 
cost  of  the  buildings  themselves.  For  in- 
stance, when  someone  builds  and  rents  a 
house,  he  charges  not  only  for  what  it 
costs  him  to  keep  it  in  repair,  but  the 
cost  of  building  the  house  in  addition. 
This  theory  was  advanced  and  approved 
by  the  Board. 


"This  answers  the  question  of  what 
happens  to  any  money  the  college  gets 
above  the  cost  of  operating  the  dormit- 
ory in  a  given  year,  because  it  goes  to- 
wards the  Uquidation  of  the  enormous 
dept  encountered  in  building  Thatcher 
Hall. 

Let  us  now  consider  what  actually 
happened  during  the  fiscal  year  from 
July  1,  1972  through  June  30, 1973.  The 
total  dorm  expense  for  the  men 's  dor- 
mitory was  $153,000.  For  both  women's 
dormitory's  the  expense  figure  was 
$240,000.

No*-  that  the  year  1974  is  in  full  swing  and  all 
Je"  in«ble  New  Year's  -»  "t.on^  have 
long  since  been  forgotten.  The  '™^  f^*  !^™f,^

honeTuy'ask  ourselves,  -what  do  1  need  to  do  to 
make  my  stay  at  SMC  a  sucess? 

Contrary  to  popular  notion,  the  mark  of  a

grade  point  average  or  makmg  the  Dean  s  Lis  . 
Sgh  these  very  worthwhile  pursuits  should 
never  be  discounted.  , 

Much  of  your  success  or  failure  at  SMC  can  t 
be  measured  by  a  test  or  determined  by  a  stan- 
dard deviation  curve;  rather  it  will  depend  on 
how  well  you  can  relate  to  and  how  tolerant 
you  are  of  others.  j  .i.  , 

Long  before  now  vou  have  discovered  that 
SMC  is  by  no  means  perfect.  How  you  relate  to 
these  imperfections  will  determine  to  a  great 
degree  how  happy  your  existence  here  will  be. 

Take  into  consideration  that  the  people 
responsible  for  making  things  run  smoothly  are, 
after  all  people  subject  to  the  same  imperfections 
that  you  L.id  all  other  human  beings  are  sub- 
ject to    With  this  realization  in  mind,  your 
dealings  with  others  will  be  greatly  enhanced. 

If  you  make  suggestions  with  a  spffit  ot  help- 
fuhiess  and  the  warmth  of  Christian  Love  your 
views  will  not  only  be  appreciated,  but  will  wel- 
comed and  valued. 

SMC,  with  all  its  degrees  and  study  programs, 
is  in  the  final  analysis,  people  trying  torelate 

is  in  the  final  analysis,  people  trying  to  relate 
to  other  people.  If  we  all  do  our  best  to  show 
friendship  and  consideration  for  others,  this  year 
will  be  one  of  success  never  to  be  matched.

delightfully  refreshing  as  the  SA's  Decen- 
tralized Chapel. 

Much  credit  should  be  heaped  upon  the  heads 
of  those  individuals  who  were  willing  to  step 
above  Saturday  night  talent  shows  and  Regis- 
tration book  swaps  to  offer  us  someting  truly 
iimovative.  Mr.  Zima,  Mr.  Litchfield  and

(Several  hours  later. .. ) 

Sandy  nearly  dropped  her  bowl  of  40% 
Bran  Flakes  and  apple  sauce  as  Judy  threw 
open  the  door  and  bounded  triumphantly 
into  the  room. 

•'He  accepted?"  Sandy  questioned, 
sitting  anxiously  and  trying  to  salvage 
what  was  left  of  her  meal. 

"Nope-he  wasn't  tliere!  Well,  actually 
he  was  there  for  a  little  while,  but  before 
1  could  flag  him  down,  the  fire  alarm  went 
off  and  he  ran  out. . .  I  didn't  know  he  was 
on  the  fire  department.  Well,  that's  that. 
He  had  his  chance."  . 

"Oh  ,  Judy,  you've  just  got  to  ask  hrni. 
Come  on— one  more  try.  It  can't  hurt." 

"All  right,  but  I  want  you  to  know  I 
wouldn't  be  doing  this  if  you  weren't  my 
best  fiiend.  Let's  see.  . .  I'll  write  him  a 
note  in  calculus  tomorrow,  if  he's  there. 
He's  got  the  flu,  you  know." 


Calculus  class  finally  came  and  Judv 
thoroughly  involved  in  her  usual  activitv 
writing  letters  to  that  darling  ski  instnict 
she  met  over  Christmas.  Gazing  into  spa« 
she  noticed  Bill  entering  the  room,  his 
usual  ten  minutes  late. 

"Oh,  great,  now  I'll  have  to  ask  him 
Why  did  I  promise  Sandy."  Ripping  ou( 
an  extra  sheet  of  paper  she  scribbled 
"Bill  -  please  wait  for  me  after  class.  Jud," 
Class  was  finally  ending,  and  Judy  was 
trying  to  think  of  a  clever  way  to  ask  Bill 
to  the  banquet.  Walking  reluctantly  out 
the  door,  Judy  saw  Bill  standing  there, 
obviously  still  a  little  pale  from  the  flu 
trying  to  be  his  usual  self  joking  with  (iu 
boys.  "Great. .  Well,  1  don't  want  to 
embarrass  him  in  front  of  his  buddies. 
I'll  just  call  him  tonight.  So  long  clever 
request." 

"Bill,  did  you  get  the  calculus  assign-  |

"(Sigh)  Yeah,  um.  .  .lesson  33,  prableml

"Thanks  alot.  Be  talking  to  you." 
Sandy  walked  in  late  that  night.  "Did 
you  ask  him  yet?" 
"Sure  did!" 
"Well?" 

"He  said  he'd  call  back  in  15  minutes: 
that  was  two  hours  ago.  1  think  he's

Dear  Editor, 

As  a  visitor  to  the  SMC  campus,  I  would 
like  to  make  a  comment  on  the  Campus 
Kitchen.  I  placed    my  order  and  sat  down 
to  wait.  After  about  30  minutes,  two 
other  groups  of  people,  who  had  been 
there  long  before  me.had  to  get  up  and  go 
ask  for  their  orders,  which  were  ready  and 
getting  cold.  One  family  came  in  and 
waited  so  long  at  the  ordering  desk,  they 
finally  decided  it  was  closed.  They  all 
got  a  salad  and  some  potato  chips  and 
sat  down.  After  waiting  an  additional 


half-hour,  I  finally  asked  for  my  order. 
They  then  decided  to  tell  me  they  didn  I 
have  part  of  my  order,  and  would  I 
care  to  reorder?  1  waited  another  ten 
minutes,  asked  again;  and  got  my  order 
"to  go"  without  a  bag,  with  the  ex- 
planation they  didn't  have  any.  Thrs 
was  during  Christmas  vacation,  and  1 
would  hate  to  be  a  student  and  have  to 
be  subjected  to  such  treatment. 

Signed, 

A  hungry  visitor

WliV  did  'Iris  accident  happen?  There 
number  of  inter-relating  factors 

lit  may  be  of  interest  to  the  reader. 
The  enormous  territory  that  the 

Ijpartment  finds  itself  covering.  Mr. 

'Edward  Avant,  fire  chief,  pointed 

it  that  his  department  has  the  respon- 
for  covering  a  625  square  mile 

,.  -.1  area  significantly  larger  than 

itbetter  equipped  Chattanooga  fire 

iputment  covers. 

2)  Increases  in  number  of  fires.  For 
iple,  back  when  the  fire  department 

ijiHd  it  made  about  sixty  to  seventy 
„  a  year,  not  it  is  making  sixty  to 
iventyrunsa  month. 

3)  Increases  in  the  mileage  to  fires, 
eaverage  run  is  15  miles.  But  some 
IS  have  taken  them  to  Calhoun,  GA. 
iowhen  the  Bonnie  Oaks  fire  was 

linj  fought  three  tankers  were  making 
lllifemile  round  trips  to  get  water  for 
i[iy-six  hours. 

These  increases  in  runs  and  mileage 
what  Mr,  Doug  Hillyard,  deputy 
chief,  calls  "outdated"  apparatus 

in  worn  out  equipment.  One 

four  accidents  was  the  result 

(e  failure  due  to  this  very 
ualion. 

4}  The  department  is  suffering  a 
veishoilage  which  in  rare  cases 
cesthem  to  use  an  inexperienced 
<ei.  This  has  been  the  case  in  two 
idences. 
Driver  shortage  and  inexperience- 

'  accidents  has  brought  the  de- 
tment  to  draw  up  a  training  plan 
(heir  drivers.  This  plan  sets  up  a 
limum  amount  of  time  (six  months) 
i»g  which  the  driver  candidate  must

will  take  a  certified  State  of 
■see  fire-truck  drivers  test.  When 
driver  has  completed  these  require- 
*  he  will  be  assigned  as  a  primary 
*ior  the  department. 
Vty-ChiefHillyard  stated  that 
Went  there  are  enough  drivers  at 
"sone  and  two,  but  here  in 
*dale  the  department  doesn't 
"nough  with  this  new  plan  for 

""Vers.  -We  have  six  drivers 
':»w,but  we'd  like  to  have  ten. 

Wy  we  could  have  four  drivers 

iitst  out  with  their  equipment, 
' ''""  drivers  as  secondaries." 


Let's  take  a  look  at  the  Tri-Com- 
mumty  fire  department's  records 

At  the  Bonnie  Oaks  petroleum 
storage  tank  fire,the  department  gained 
national  recognition  for  an  innovative 
technique  used  in  putting  out  that  fire 

ITie  department  has  allowed  no 
losses  to  private,  residential  or  indus- 
trial property  within  the  city  limits 

After  an  estimated  27,000  miles 
driven  in  1973  there  have  been  only  two 
accidents^  That's  less  accidents  per  mile 
than  the  Chattanooga  Fire  Department 
which  employs  full-time.fully  certified 
drivers.

SKETCHING 

CONTEST 

The  Accent  is  proud  to  sponsor  its 
first  contest  of  '74.  The  contest 
theme  of  Valentine  and  young  lovers 
is  the  Accents  effort  to  have  more 
students  display  their  creative  abilities. 
The  contest  is  open  to  SMC  students 
with  a  $10  winner  take  all  cash  prize 
for  first"  place.  All  entries  must  be 
done  in  black  on  white  and  be  sub- 
mitted to  the  Accent  no  later  than 
February  1.  Contest  judging  will  be 
done  by  Malcolm  ChUders,  instructor 
of  art  and  Janice  Wuersllin,  ^ccen/ 
art  director. 


Those  wishing  to  participate  in  the 
talent  show  are  asked  to  suggest  a  building 
which  could  be  used  as  a  backdrop  for  their 
act.  For  example,  a  musical  number  could 
be  done  in  a  music  store,  a  gymnastic  routine 
in  a  health  spa,  a  quartet  number  in  a  barber 
shop  and  so  on.  An  apartment  building,  a 
restaurant,  or  a  doctor's  office  are  other 
possibilities. 

Potential  participants  are  asked  to 
strive  for  variety  and  creativity  in  their 
acts.  Only  ten  acts  can  be  accepted  for 
the  show,  so  the  better  the  act,  the  better 
the  chances  of  acceptance. 

The  talent-screening  committee  states 
that  though  some  vocals  are  desired,  there 
are  usually  an  overabundance  of  vocal 
entrants,  and  because  of  this,  acceptance 
will  be  harder  to  obtain.  Participants  are 
asked  to  consider  readings,  skits,  comedienne 
routines,  gymnastics,  instrumental,  comedy 
vocals— anything  light-hearted  and  wholesome. 

Some  teachers  have  expressed  willingness 
to  give  extra  credit  to  their  students  for  acts 
performed  in  the  Talent  Show  which  could 
relate  to  their  class,  such  as  oral  interpretation 
class.  Participants  should  consult  their 
teachers  about  this  possibility. 

Cash  awards  will  be  given  to  winners 
as  well  as  $10  to  all  acts  accepted.  The 
grand  prize-winning  act  will  receive  a 
cash  award  as  well  as  having  its  name 
engraved  on  a  trophy  to  be  placed  in 
the  student  center. 

Potential  entrants  may  tryout  be- 
fore a  new  student  screening  committee 
from  7:30-8:30  p.m.  on  January  28,  7:30 
to  9:00  p.m.  on  January  29,  and  7:30- 
9:30  p.m.  on  January  30  in  the  music 
building  auditorium.  Tryouts  before 
the  faculty  screening  committee  and  a 
final  dress  rehearsal  will  be  held  during 
the  first  week  of  February  with  exact 
times  to  be  posted. 

Any  students  with  questions  or  sug- 
gestions may  contact  Renee  Schultz  at 
extention  496.

The  March  of  Dimes  pursues  the 
problems  of  birth  defects  through  a

Their  researchers  have  made  many  a

The  city  of  Collegedale  has  organized 
Ithe  Collegedale  Cadet  Squadron  of  the 
Civil  Air  Patrol,  an  auxiliary  of  the  United 
Istates  Ail  Force. 

Commanded  by  Douglas  Keller,  CoUege- 
Idale  city  manager  and  member  of  CAP 
since  1942,  the  squadron  now  has  33  adult 
members,  45  cadets,  and  5  aircraft.  Ten 
members  are  certified  pilots,  including 
Ithree  flight  instructors  and  two  ground 
Ischool  instnictors. 

^  a  Congressionally-chartered 
Iprogram  instigated  in  1941  to  foster  the 
nterest  of  American  citizens  in  the 
levelopment  of  aviation  and  the  main- 
jtenance  of  aerospace  supremacy. 
Air/sea  rescue  procedures  and  local 


the  fundamentals  of  flying  through  grounc  | 
school  and  pre-flight  training. 

Regional  headquarters  for  CAP  are 
located  in  Chattanooga,  where  the 
Collegedale  squadron  meets  with  other 
area  squadrons  periodically.  CAP 
members  also  visit  military  installations 
and  areas  restricted  from  the  general 
pubhc. 

On  January  6  of  this  year,  35  squadroni| 
members  flew  for  the  first  time.  A 
medical  training  flight  is  scheduled  for 
the  near  future. 

Membership  in  the  squadron  is  open 
to  teenagers,  male  and  female,  from  13 
to  17  years  of  age  and  to  adults  18  and 
over.  Fees  per  year  for  members  are  $6

Some  time  ago,  I  received  a  call 
L  a  coUeague  who  asked  if  I  would 
\u  referee  on  the  grading  of  an  ex- 
piation question.  He  was  about  to 
K  a  student  a  zero  for  his  answer  to 
Iphysics  question,  while  the  student 
jjed  he  should  receive  a  perfect 
leand  would  if  the  system  were  not . 
upagainst  the  student.  The  in- 
[uclorand  the  student  agreed  to 
ijit  this  to  an  impartial  arbiter,  and 
iselected.  1  went  to  my  coll- 
ie's office  and  read  the  examina- 
iiiquestion;  'Show  how  it  is  pos- 
|le  to  determine  the  height  of  a  tall 
ding,  with  the  aid  of  a  barometer.' 
The  student  had  answered, 
^ethe  barometer  to  the  top  of  the 

;,  attach  a  long  rope  to  it, 
Itrthe  barometer  to  the  street,  and 
Ji  bring  it  up,  measuring  the  length  of 
Irope.  The  length  of  the  rope  is  the 


height  of  the  building.' 

I  pointed  out  that  the  student 
reaUy  had  a  strong  case  for  full  credit 
since  he  had  answered  the  question  com- 
plete y  and  correctly.  On  the  other  hand. 
It  full  credit  was  given,  it  would  well  con- 
tribute to  a  high  grade  for  the  student  in 
his  physics  course.  A  high  grade  is  sup- 
posed to  show  competence  in  physics, 
but  the  answer  did  not  confirm  this.  I 
suggested  that  the  student  have  another 
*ry  at  answering  the  question.  1  wa^not 
surprised  that  my  coUeague  agreed,  but  1 
was  surprised  that  the  student  did.  1 
gave  the  student  6  minutes  to  answer 
the  question,  with  the  warning  that  his 
answer  should  show  knowledge  of  phy- 
sics. At  the  end  of  5  minutes  he  had  not 
written  anything.  1  asked  if  he  wished  to 
give  up,  but  he  said  no.  He  had  many 
answers  to  this  problem;  he  was  just 
thirking  of  the  best  one.  1  excused 
myself  for  interrupting  him  and  asked 
him  to  please  go  on.   In  thenext  minute 
he  dashed  off  his  answer  which  read: 

'Take  the  barometer  to  the  top  of 
the  building  and  lean  over  the  edge  of  the 
roof.  Drop  the  barometer,  timing  its  fall 
with  a  stopwatch.  Then,  using  the  formula 
S=l/2at2,  calculate  the  height  of  the 
building.' 

At  this  point,  I  asked  my  coll- 
eague if  he  would  give  up.  He  conceded, 
and  1  gave  the  student  almost  full  credit. 

In  leaving  my  colleague's  office, 
1  recalled  that  the  student  had  said  he 
had  other  answers  to  the  problem,  so 
I  asked  him  what  they  were.  "Oh,  yes," 
said  the  student.  "There  are  many  ways 
of  getting  the  height  of  a  tall  building

with  the  aid  of  a  barometer.  For  exam- 
ple, you  could  take  the  barometer  out 
on  a  sunny  day  and  measure  the  height 
of  the  barometer,  the  length  of  its  sh- 
adow, and  the  length  of  the  shadow  of 
the  building,  and  by  the  use  of  a  sim- 
ple proportion,  determine  the  height  of 
the  building."

'"emester.  Malcolm  G.  Childers 

aised  in  Riverside,  Calif,  and 
pnilergraciuate  work  at  Humboldt 
,,f  """^ty  in  California.  He  then 
r™  lo  Fullerton  State  University, 


also  in  California,  where  he  completed  his 
Masters  degree  in  art. 

Cycling,  jogging,  and  back-packing  are 
the  favorite  pastimes  of  Mr.  Childers,  who 
is  an  enthusiastic  nature-lover.  As  he  puts 
it,  "With  all  the  things  God  has  given  us  to 
do,  how  can  anyone  be  bored!"  He  also 
enjoys  playing  the  guitar  and  banjo  and, 
incidentally,  would  be  interested  in  trading 
songs  with  a  fellow  banjo-player. 

McKee  Library  now  has  on  exhibit 
seven  drawings  which  compose  Mr.  Child- 
ers' master's  project.  Soon  to  be  a  finished 
suite  often,  the  drawings,  which  are 
shown  on  French  hand-made  paper,  require 
a  month  each  for  completion. 

As  a  new  resident  of  Collegedale,  Mr. 
Childers    has  been''out  of  California  for  a 
week  and  two  days  and  is  experiencing 
no  withdrawal  pains."  He  enjoys  the 
people  and  the  work,  and  hopes  to  become 
better  acquainted  with  the  students.  "I 
feel  that  a  good  teacher  should  work  at 
his  subject  or  it  becomes  stale.  I  want  to 
convey  the  excitement  of  art  so  that  it's 
contagious."

Mrs.  Eldred,  Dean  of  Women  at 
Jones  Hall  said,  "They're  good.  The 
whole  idea  is  that  we  get  together 
and  worship  God  as  a  family,  and  it 
we  have  to  run  off  to  the  neighbors 
than  it's  not  family  worship."  When 
asked  how  they  will  effect  the  girls 
of  Jones  Hall,  if  any,  her  response 
was  "We  will  be  and  feel  closer  to- 
gether. The  girls  can  be  more  sensi- 
tive to  the  problems  here.  Mrs. 
Eldred  also  says  that  "The  girls  are 
very  willing  to  participate  in  the 
worships  at  Jones." 

Edna  Scott,  Resident  Assistant, 
says  "I  like  them.  It  is  much  more 
convenient.  1  think  it  is  very  good 
because  the  girls  can  take  part  while 
at  Thatcher  Hall  it's  only  the  deans. 
The  girls  here  are  able  to  share  the.r^ 
own  personal  experience  with  God. 


"Fine,"l  said.  'And  die  others?' 
Tes,'  said  the  student.  'There  is 
a  very  basic  measurement  method  that 
you  will  like.  In  this  method,  you  take 
the  barometer  and  begin  to  walk  up 
the  stairs.  As  you  climb  the  stairs,  you 
mark  off  the  length  of  the  barometer 
along  the  wall.  You  then  count  the 
number  of  marks,  and  this  will  give  you 
the  height  of  the  building  in  barometer 


units.  A  very  direct  method.' 

'Of  course,  if  you  want  a  more  so- 
phisticated method,  you  can  tie  the  bar- 
ometer to  the  end  of  a  string,  swing  it 
as  a  pendulum,  and  determine  the  value 
of 'g'  at  the  street  level  and  at  the  top  of 
the  building.  From  the  difference  be- 
tween the  two  values  of  'g' ,  the  height  of 
the  building  can  ,  in  principle,  be  cal- 
culated.' 

Finally;  he  concluded,  "there  arc 
many  other  ways  of  solving  the  problem. 
Probably  the  best,'  he  said,  'is  to  take  the 
barometer  to  the  basemerit  and  knock 
on  the  superintendent's  door.  When 
the  superintendent  answers,  you  speak 
to  him  as  follows:  'Mr.  Superintendent, 
here  1  have  a  fine  barometer.  If  you 
will  tell  me  die  heiglit  of  this  building,  I 
will  give  you  this  barometer" 

At  this  point  1  asked  the  student  if  he 
really  did  not  know  the  conventional 
answer  to  this  question.  He  admitted  that 
he  did,  but  said  that  he  was  fed  up  with 
high  school  and  college  instructors  try- 
ing to  teach  him  how  to  think,  to  use 
the  'scientific  method,  and  to  explore 
the  deep  inner  logic  of  the  subject  in 
a  pedantic  was,  as  is  often  done  in  the 
new  mathematics,  rather  than  teach- 
ing him  the  structure  of  the  subject. 
With  this  in  mind,  he  decided  to  revive 
scholasticism  as  an  academic  lark  to 
challenge  the  Sputnik-panicked  class- 
rooms of  America.

Monday  night  Dr.  Don  Dick,  chairman 
of  the  Communications  Department  of 
SMC,  presented  a  report  on  the  subject 
of  Cable  TV  to  the  Collegedale  City 
Commission,  discussing  some  of  the 
pros  and  cons  of  having  Cable  TV  in 
Collegedale.  For  example:  Cable  TV 
would  be  a  tremendous  boon  to  the 
Communications  Department  here  at 
SMC  and  would  be  open  to  anyone 
interested  in  using  it. 

However,  this  recent  development, 
of  having  Cable  TV  available  to  every- 
one, also  has  its  bad  implications.  It 
would  mean  that  anyone  knocking  on

to  bottom.  She  prided  herself  on 
her  merangue,chiffon. chocolate- 
covered  pineapple  upside-down 
cake  covered  with  whip  cream,  nuts, 
and  butterscotch  pudding.  Mommy 
Sunnyside  also  played  house  quite 
well  and  was  tremendously  proud  of 
her  interior  decorating  abilities.  Why, 
one  time  she  went  all  out  and  taxed 
her  artistic  ability  to  the  utmost 
when  she  put  Michaelangelo  to  shame 
ridit  in  her  own  living  room  by  forming 
an  exquisite.cherry-navorediello  sculp- 
ture of  Lawrence  Welk.  And  if  you 
closed  the  graham  aacker  front  door 
real  hard  he'd  do  a  jiggly  version  of  the 
,  Bulgarian  Polka.  But,  sometimes  little 
Baby  Sunnyside  would  Uke  between- 
meal  snacks  fiom  Lawrence's  feet, 
therefore,  his  gumdrop  allowance  was 
I  revoked  for  a  week. 


Daddy  Sunnyside  was  the  ginger- 
breadwinner  of  the  family.  Naturally, 
he  worked  in  a  candy  factory  that 
specialized  in  a  detergent  that  made 
your  clothes  smell  like  chocolate. 
Daddy  Sunnyside  also  built  little 
hard  candy  figurines  (little  hard 
candy  houses  and  httle  secluded 
introverted  sugary  communities 
were  optional).  It  was  during  the 
construction  of  the  aformentioned 
articles  that  Dad'dy  Sunnyside 
created  litfie  "Fudgie  Wudgie," 
the  little  chocolate  puppet  that 
performed  perfectly  because  that 
was  the  way  all  little  "Fudgie  Wudgies" 
performed-  Right? 

Junior  Sunnyside,  nicknamed 
Fudgie  Wudgie"  at  birth  but  dropped 
completely  by  the  time  Junior  reached 
1 5  years  of  age,  was  often  a  bad  little 
boy  and  in  order  to  avoid  bad  public 
relations  for  the  Sunnyside  fatnily  he 
will  be  overlooked  in  this  story,  bope- 
fuUy. 

1  think  1  see  Daddy  comiiig  up  the 
ie  crust  sidewalk  now.  Baby,'  declared 
lommy  Sunnyside  delightfully. 

Daddy  walked  glibly  through  the 
front  porch  candy  cane  pillars  and  was 

feeted  warmly  by  Baby  and  Mommy 
uiinyside. 

"How  was  worky  worky,  Honey, 
Honey?"  inc^uired  Mommy-ommj/. 
"Finey  winey,  spousy  wousy, ' 
answerea  Daddy-aody . 

Without  any  further  ado,  the  family 
broke  into--- 


Mr.  Sunnyside,  lih  ■  your  son  has 
been  picked  up  by  the  police  for  pushing 
dope,    answered  the  monotone  police 
officer. 

"Surely  you  must  have  the  wrong 
home,  and  besides  what's  wrong  with 
pushing  stupid  people,  maybe  they 
got  in  the  way  or  something." 

"Mr.  Sunnyside,  this  is  not  the 
wrong  home,  because  you're  the  only 
Sunnyside  in  the  phone  book,  and 
dope  pushing  isn't  shoving  retards, 
it's  selling  an  illegal  substance." 

"This  isn't  real,"  Daddy  Sunnyside 
squirmed.  "1  mean  this  just  doesn't 
happen  to  Sunnyside  people.  Well, 
we  re  happy  here,  don't  rock  the  boat. 
This  kind  of  thing  just  isn't  talked  about, 
we  avoid  this  kind  of  topic.  We're  happy 
please  don't  rock  the  boat.  Surely  you 
understand." 

"Mr.  Sunnyside,  it  did  happen,  the 
issue  needs  to  be  realized  not  avoided. 
We  must  grab  the  bull  by  the  horns  and 
swing  him  around  until  ne  is  dead.  Some 
times,  it's  necessary  to  endure  a  little 
pain,  sometimes  a  lot  of  pain  to  obtain 
a  secure  happiness,  not  a  fantasized 
happiness,  Mr.  Sunnyside," 

Mr.  Sunnyside  hung  up  the  phone 

and  told  the  other  members  of  the 

family  what  had  happened.  The  family 

stood  silent  for  a  brief  moment,  then 

mommy  began  to  sing  very  slowly  and 

softly,  'Sugar  in  the  morning.  Sugar 

in  the  evening."  Baby  and  Daddy 

joined  in  with  the  same  mood.  But 

their  voices  then  gradually  crescendoed 

and  the  tempo  hastened.  And  Lawrence 

1  jiggled  the  meanest  version  ever  of  the 

I  Bulgarian  Polka.  "La  la  la  la  la  la  la  la."

the  door  of  WSMC-FM  would  I    

to  broadcast  from  the  station,  and  in 
some  extreme  cases  would  prove 
unwise  in  the  best  interests  of  the 
school. 

Attorney  McColpin  pointed  out  thil 
Collegedale  might  be  too  small  to  gel 
its  own  franchise;  it  wouldn't  pay  for 
itself.  And  if  Collegedale  were  to  in- 
corporate into  a  larger  franchise,  like 
Chattanooga,  it  would  lose  its  identity. 

Dr.  Dick  then  gave  the  following  lis!  I 
of  recommendations  to  the  Comraissiotl 

1)  They  should  continue  to  look  iiml 
franchise  possibilities  because  Cable  TV  f 
holds  great  promise  as  a  future  cominiil 
icafion  medium.  I 

2)  The  Communication  Departmtnll 
of  SMC  would  be  willing  to  pay  a  $40 
subscription  fee,  to  receive  periodic 
reports  about  developments  in  Cable 
TV  from  the  CATV  Information  CenHl 
Any  material  received  would  be  keplall 
the  Communications  Department,  and  I 
shared  with  the  City  of  Collegedale » 

needed. 

3)  The  Commission  should  cone  I 
pond  regularly  with  the  CATV  in  oral 
tion  Center,  to  inform  ihem  of  on  ■ 
progress  and  to  see  how  they  can  b»lj 

help  our  community.

Basketball  season  Started  last  week 
w,.h  much  excitement  as  three  games 
w      played  with  a  total  wmnrngpotnt 
preadofsixpotnts.  Theftrstgame 
was  played  between  the  teams  of 
Sng  and  Holland  with  Holland 
coming  out  on  top  by  the  scoro 
74-71    Both  teams  shot  42/0  trom 
the  field  with  Reading  dumping  in  one 

.„  basket  than  Holland,  but  Holland 
Supt 'he  challenge  as  they  dumped 
r,  ve  more  free  throws  than  Readmgo 

an  letrvtcorv.  Keith  Peden  was  ngh 

orerforthegamew,th31pom.sfor 
Te  Actors  while  Ron  Reading  led  Ins 

team  with  19. 

The  second  game  of  the  season 

ended  in  a  58-56  victory  for  Bird  alter 
having  battled  from  beWnd  to  tte  Hale  ,n 
the  final  seconds  of  the  game  54-54, 
setiding  the  game  into  overtime.  Not 
one  not  two.  but  three  overtimes  had 
to  be  played  in  order  to  end  the  game. 
Each  overtime  lasted  three  mmutes 
and  each  team  would  try  to  stall  the 
ball  when  they  had  possession  until 
the  end  of  the  overtime  when  they 
would  then  shoot  hoping  the  ball 
would  find  its  way  through  the  net. 
In  the  first  overtime  Roger  Bird  sunk 
a  basket  for  his  team  and  Rick  Hale 
came  right  back  with  a  basket  for 
his  team  to  tie  it  back  up  again.  In  the 
second  overtime  both  teams  were  very 
cautious  not  to  foul  or  make  any  un- 
necessary mistakes  as  the  period  ended 
with  neither  team  scoring.  In  the 
third  overtime  Bird  had  Ihc  ball 
and  stalled  in  order  lo  run  the  clock 
down  and  take  a  last  shot.  With  9 
seconds  left  Bird  started  lo  work 
the  ball  in  lor  a  shot  and  with  4 
seconds  left  Ken  Defoor  jumped 


and  shot ,  the  ball  struck  the  back 
of  the  rim  and  rebounded  straight  to 
the  hands  of  Rick  Jacques  who  im- 
mediately shot  the  ball  as  the  buzzer 
was  going  off.  The  ball  went  up  and 
through  the  hoop  for  two  points  and 
victory  for  Bird. 

The  third  game  ended  in  one  over- 
time on  a  last  second  shot  by  John 
Maretich  to  give  Reading  an  80-79 
victory  over  Halversen.  Mike  Schuhz 
and  Warren  Halversen  totaled  for  56 
of  their  team's  total  of  79.  Ron 
Reading  led  his  team  in  their  win  with 
21  points. 

In  two  games  Sunday,  Hale  demol- 
ished Reading  79-59  and  Bird  defeated 
Halversen  66-62.  In  the  Reading-Hale 
game  Rick  Hale  led  all  scorers  with  22 
points  while  Ron  Reading  led  his  team 
with  19.  Halversen  lost  their  gaine  wiH  1 
Bird  by.  only  making  27%  of  their  shots 
from  the  free  throw  line. 

Tliis  season  looks  like  any  team 
could  win  over  any  other,  so  come  on 
out  and  watch  the  excitement  of  col- 
lege basketball. 

In  B  League  action  Chrispens  tore 
out  in  front  with  two  victories,  soundly 
defeating  Brown  56-46  and  Jimenez 
7 1  -50.  Fowler  and  Hayes  started  their 
season  right  also  by  defeating  their 
first  opponents.  Davis  played  two  gaoisl 
last  week,  pounding  Weigley  62-35  andlr 
ing  defeated  by  Fowler  57-47.  Weiglej 
is  at  the  bottom  of  the  pile  after  losinf 
their  first  two  games. 

In  C  League  action  Voorheis 
captured  the  first  game  of  the  season 
with  a  forfeit  over  White.  In  other  gin«|

The  fourth  annual  Rees  Basket

night  as  the  Talge  Hall  resident  All- 
star  players  residing  in  the  village. 
Game  time  is  8  p.m.  in  the  gym- 
nasium. 


Sponsored  by  the  Upsilon  Delta 
""(Men's  Qub),  the  three-game 
»n«  IS  being  co-ordinated  by  Jesse 
Landess,  recreation  vice  president  of 
™club.  Games  will  be  played

The  Talge  Hall  team  will  be  coached 
by  Mr.  Lyie  Botimer,  Dean  of  Men. 
Mr.  Delmar  Lovejoy,  chairman  of  the 
Physical  Education  department,  will 
coach  the  village  team. 


The  Saturday  night  halftime  show 
will  be  presented  by  outstanding  gym- 
nasts from  the  Southern  Union 
academies.  They  will  be  at  the  college 
for  a  special  gymnastic  workshop, 
under  the  direction  of  Lovejoy. 


The  Rees  Trophy  is  now  on  display 
in  the  front  lobby  of  Talge  Hall.  The 
village  team  won  the  trophy  last  year. 
The  previous  two  series  were  divided 
evenly  with  the  village  team  winning 
the  first  year,  and  the  Talge  Hall  team 
winning  the  second  year. 


Due  to  a  lack  of  interest  on  the 
part  of  Men's  Club,  no  sweetheart 
queen  will  be  given  the  traditional 
bouquet  of  roses,  as  has  been  done 
during  the  series  in  previous  years. 


The  series  is  named  in  honor  of 
Dr.  C.  N.  Rees,  president  of  SMC  from 
l9S8tol968.  He  now  lives  in  Thatcher 
Hall,  where  his  wife  is  one  of  the  deans 
of  women. 


Rees  has  been  a  lifelong  athlete 
and  lover  of  sports.  A  plaque  pre- 
sented to  him  at  the  first  Rees 
Series  four  years  ago  reads:   "Pre- 
sident of  SMC,  1 958-68;  Once  a 
High  School  basketball  coach;  He 
taught  youth  how  to  play  the  game; 
A  sportsman  jn  the  game  of  life." 


The  sportsmanship  and  philos- 
ophy of  the  series  was  described  by 
last  year's  Upsilon  Delta  Phi  President, 
Wayne  Liljeros,  when  he  said,  "1  per- 
sonally feel  that  the  Rees  Series  has 
helped  to  add  to  the  overall  Christian 
sportsmanship  on  the  campus  of 
SMC,  as  well  as  make  a  bigger  distmc- 
tion  between  the  goals  of  the  earthly 
games  that  some  of  us  participate  in, 
and  the  game  that  we  are  all  involved 
in-the  game  of  eternal  life."

■^    PeoDle  "e  n,  quite  enthralled  ™th  the  subject  of  love,

Sv  'nvone  thinks  there  is  anything  to  be  earned  about 
^r  Most  people  see  the  problem  of  love  pnmarUy  as  that 
of  beina  loved,  how  to  be  loveable.  Many  of  the  ways  to 
make  oneself  loveable  are  the  same  as  those  used  to  make 
oneself  successful,  "to  vvin  friends  and  influence  people. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  what  most  people  in  our  culture  mean 
by  being  loveable  is  essentially  a  mixture  between  bemg 
popular  and  having  sex  appeal. 

Erich  Fromm,  a  worid  famous  psychoanalyst,  detines 
maSe  love  S  'ihe  active  concern  for  the  life  and  growth 

"'  Ti:!^:^^  mature  love  manifests  i^.f 
by  exposing  four  basic  elements,  common  ■"  f  Jo™^ 
of  love.  These  are  care,  responsibility,  respect,  and 

"^"vhere  active  care  or  concern  is  lacking,  there  is  no  love. 
ThU  element  of  love  has  been  beautifuUy  described  of 
Jonah    Presuming  that  most  of  you  know  this  story,  we  11 
take  up  near  the  end  of  this  miiii-drama.  Jonah  goes  to 
Ninevah  after  a  futile  escape  attempt  -  preaches  - 
the  people  repent  -  Jonah  (a  man  of  law  and  order,  but 
mthout  love)  is  angry  because  his  prophecy  did  not  come 
true    He  pouts  and  sits  under  a  shade  tree  that  God  grew  just 
for  him.  But,  when  God  makes  the  tree  wilt,  Jonah  com- 
plains bitteriv.  God  answers:   "And  should  I  not  smr^ 
Nineveh,  that  great  city,  wherein  are  six  score  thousand 
people  that  can  not  discern  between  theh  right  hand  and 
their  left  hand. '  God's  answer  to  Jonah  is  to  be  under 
stood  symbolically.  God  explains  to  Jonah  that  the  es- 
sence of  love  and  labor  are  inseparable.  One  loves  that 
for  which  one  labors,  and  one  labors  for  that  which  one 
loves.  .    .    f 

Care  and  concern  imply  another  aspect  of  love;  that  ot 
responsibilit,..  Today  responsibility  is  often  "eanto  de- 
note duty,  something  imposed  upon  one  froni  the  outside. 
Bu,  responsibility,  in  its  true  sense,  is  an  entirely  voluntary 
acf'it  is  a  response  to  the  needs,  expressed  or  unexpressed, 
of  another  human  being.  To  be  "responsible    means  to  be 
able  and  ready  to  "respond."  Jonah  did  not  feel  responsible 
to  the  inhabitants  of  Nineveh.  He.  like  Cain,  could  ask; 
-Am  1  my  brother's  keeper?"  The  loving  person  responds. 
The  life  of  his  brother  is  not  his  brother  s  business  alone 
but  his  own.  He  feels  responsible  for  fellow  men  as  he  feels 
responsible  for  himself.  . 

ResponsibUity  could  easily  detenorate  mto  domination 
and  possessiveness,  were  it  not  for  a  third  component  of 
love  respect    Respect  is  not  fear  and  awe;  it  denotes  m 
accordance  with  the  root  of  the  word  (respicere  -  to  look 
at)  the  abUity  to  see  a  person  as  he  is,  to  be  aware  of  umque 
individuality.  Respect  means  the  concern  that  the  other 
person  should  grow  and  unfold  as  he  is.  Respect,  thus, 
implies  the  absence  of  exploitation.  One  wants  the  loved 
person  to  grow  and  unfold  for  his  own  sake,  arid  in  his  own 
ways  and  not  for  the  purpose  of  serving  one. 

To  respect  a  person  is  not  possible  without  knowing  him; 
care  and  responsibility  would  be  blind  if  they  were  not  guided 
by  knowledge.  Knowledge  would  be  empty  if  it  were  not 
motivated  by  concern.  One  may  know,  for  instance,  that  a 
person  is  angry,  even  if  he  does  not  show  it  overtly;  but  one 
may  know  him  more  deeply  than  that;  then  one  knows  that 
he  U  anxious  and  worried;  that  he  feels  lonely,  that  he  feels 
guilty    Then  one  knows  that  his  anger  is  only  the  manifes- 
tation of  something  deeper,  and  one  sees  him  as  anxious  and 
embarrassed,  as  the  suffering  person,  rather  than  the  angry 
one.  . 

Hopefully,  after  reading  these  conclusions,  you  will  see 
that  love  is  not  a  simple  emotion  that  leaves  you  floating 
through  space,  but  a  ciaft  or  an  art  that  must  be  meticulously 
worked  with,  constantly  striving  for  perfection.  So  think 
twice  before  you  flippantly  remark,  "I'm  in  love,  roommate.'

In  response  to  your  articles  -  its  a 
little  hard  to  be  "Sunny  Side  Up 
«,hen  there  has  been  only  22  hou 
of  sunlight  in  January  -  as  of  January 

Should  Cable  TV  come  to  CoUege-

be  an  Army  Nurse  or  join  the  College- 
dale  Civil  Air  Patrol  and  sing  "Sugar

Dear  Editor, 


It  has  come  to  my  attention  in  the 
last  month  that  the  beauty  of  Christmas 
is  still  with  us. 

1  was  very  glad  that  amid  the  energy 
crisis  that  we  have  all  heard  of,  we  were 
still  able  to  have  a  Christmas  tree.  Even  .ua..,^  jw- ■- 

though  it  was  lit  only  for  a  couple  of  hours   abo„t  this  matter 
each  night. 


1  .would  like  to  say  that  1  appreciate 
this  indication  that  someone  is  still 
thinking  about  the  beauty  of  our  campus, 
but  1  would  also  like  to  ask  one  question 
of  whomever  it  may  concern.  What 
is  the  reason  if  any  for  the  Christmas 
tree  still  being  up? 

Thank  you  for  answering  my  question  ,

Tri-Community 
ambulance  runs  over 
1-24  pedestrian 


IriCommuitity  Fire  Department 
teirainedly  faces  the  future  following 
[ttanotlier  collision  in  a  long  chain  of 
nidents  occurring  in  the  last  two  years. 
TCFD  Ambulance  No.  40  was  heavily 
taaged  in  a  vain  attempt  to  avoid  a 
Piletbilt  tractor-trailer  truck  which  had 
Bashed  into  a  bridge  on  1-24  near 
Moccasin  Bend  in  yesterday's  pre-dawn 
|to{.  The  truck's  driver,  Thomas  Duvall 
|ifColunibia,  Tenn.,  was  strucl<  by  the 
ibulance  as  he  stepped  from  behind 
(truck's  cab  into  the  path  of  the 
fiil-of-contrcl  rescue  vehicle. 
Ambulance  No.  40  was  transporting 
elderly  stroke  victim  to  a  Wildwood, 
1.,  hospital  at  the  request  of  the 
[milywhen  the  collision  occurred. 

ambulance  drove  blindly  into  the 
piis  scattered  across  the  highway  as 
were  no  lights  or  flares  on 
neat  the  wreckage  to  warn  them 
of  its  presence. 
The  ambulance,  which  was  running 
ilween4S  and  50  m.p.h.,  according 
■persons in  following  cars,  managed 
-  ivoid  a  large  portion  of  the  wrecked 
filetbill,  but  side-swiped  part  of  the 
'^b  which  extended  into  the  right- 
ed lane. 

I  As  the  ambulance  went  out  of 
jMliol  on  the  diesel  fuel  running 
f'm  the  damaged  truck,  Mr.  Duvall 
"""""''  from  behind  the  truck's  cab 


directly  into  the  path  of  the  spinning 
ambulance  and  was  dragged  over  90 
feet  before  said  vehicle  could  be  stop- 
ped. 

In  the  meantime,  five  other 
vehicles,  including  that  of  Bernie 
Corbett,  an  SMC  senior  whose 
grandfather  was  being  transported 
in  the  ambulance,  crashed  into  the 
Peterbilt  wreckage  or  the  bridge 
nearby,  demolishing  all  but  one  of 
those  vehicles. 

City  and  county  ambulances  car- 
ried all  the  injured  to  Erlanger  Hos- 
pital where  all  but  Mr.  Duvall  and 
one  other  woman  were  treated  and 
released.  Mr.  Duvall  is  in  the  Inten- 
sive Care  Unit  at  Erlanger  and  the 
woman  is  being  treated  for  jaw  in- 
juries. None  of  those  in  the  ambul- 
ance were  injured. 

Wheels,  axles,  glass,  metal,  gasolrne 
and  diesel  fuel  continued  to  block 
1-24  hours  after  the  3:00  a.m.  ac- 
cident. 

How  this  latest  loss  will  affect 
TCFD,  leaving  them  only  one 
ambulance  to  continue  rescue 
operations,  is  yet  to  be  seen.  Ambul- 
ance Company  personnel  gave  tic  es- 
timate as  to  the  length  of  time  be- 
fore Ambulance  No.  40  would  be 
back  in  service.

Chuck  Luster 
forms  meteorology  class 


Good  evening,  groovy  guys  and 
girls.  Chuck  Luster  here  with  the 
latest  in  weather  understanding." 

Chuck  Luster,  a  junior  theology 
;tudent,  is  both  teacher  and  student 
.n  a  3  hour  class  known  as  "Weather 
and  Man."  This  course  is  an  original 
Luster  conception;  he  outlines  the 
course,  selects  his  own  textbooks, 
orders  his  own  fdms,  and  makes  his 
own  assignments. 

"Weather  really  freaks  me  out.  1 
figured  that  understanding  it  would 
quiet  my  superstitions  and  fears  of 
certain  dangerous  weather  types.  I'm 
interested  in  weather  extremes,  like 
A'hy  does  the  wind  blow  over  cars 
and  trees  in  Chattanooga  while  it's 
relatively  quiet  in  Collcgedale,"  says 
Luster. 

Of  course.  Luster  did  not  decide 
all  of  a  sudden  to  just  have  his  own 
class.  He  was  formulating  his  second 
semester  schedule  knowing  he  needed 
a  science  course.  Being  not  particular- 
ly excited  with  what  was  offered,  he 
noticed  a  section  in  the  Biology  de- 
partment known  as  "Selected  Topics" 
in  which  students  made  up  their  course. 
Luster  then  outlined  his  "Weather 
and  Man"  course,  presented  his  pro- 
posal to  Dr.  H.  H.  Kuhlman  who, 
incidentally,  approved  and  is  now 


Luster's  advisor  and  will  ultimately 
bestow  his  final  grade. 

As  far  as  classwork  is  concerned 
Luster  plans  to  do  research  studies 
which  will  total  anywhere  between 
50  and  60  typewritten  pages  by  the 
end  of  the  semester. 

The  origin  of  weather  can  even 
be  found  in  the  Bible.  Because  of 
die  water  vapor  above  the  rirrnament 
It  Ihe  time  of  creation  in  the  upper 
atmosphere,  we  had  a  uniform  iciii- 
perature  around  Ihe  world.  We  lost 
ihat  water  caiiope  when  il  rained  for 
Ihc  first  lime  at  the  Hood.  Then 
basically,  because  of  the  uneven  tem- 
peratures, the  wodd  began  to  experi- 
ence a  physical  phenomena  we  now 
call  weather. 

Luster  will  visit  the  National 
Weather  Service  in  Crossville,  TN  to 
better  understand  weather  patterns . 
He  will  also  teach  several  class  periods 
on  weather  formations  to  elementary 
students  in  Rossville. 

"0.  K.  groovy  guys  and  girls,  ten 
to  one  you  know  what  the  weather 
forecast  is  for  the  Collegedale  area 
tomorrow  morning,  807o 

chance  of  rain  tomorrow  afternoon, 
95%  chance  tomorrow  evening  and 
an  85%. ; . . ."  ^  .     ,

Dear  Editors, 

Granted,  a  letter  to  the  editor  is  not 
usually  the  place  to  discuss  a  date  to 
Sunday  night's  reception,  but  Iteei 
That  in  lieht  of  an  incident  that  took  place 
Way  morning,  something  shorUd  be 
saw  to  bring  it  to  the  attention  of  the 

'■"Xhe  girl  who  asked  me  for  the  occ- 
asion was  also  asked  by  those  wi  h  au- 
?horitv  to  sing  at  the  program  following 
He  banquet  meal.  She,  along  wrth  two 
ccompaniests,  practiced  many  hours 
attempting  to  perfect  two  songs  tor 
herTerforman^e.  One  was  originally 
done  by  the  Carpenters,  and  the  other 
was  from  DiannaRoss^  For  weeks  she 

continued  practicing  the  songs,  even 
occasionally  taking  time  from  the  valuable 

academic  facet  of  her  nursing^currjcuta^^^ 

h  s  2irl's  voice  was  too  sexy,  and  she 
aiikeshewastrymgtoseu 
something  or  someone.  And  so,  nou 


before  the  banquet,  she  was  told  that  she 
would  not  be  allowed  to  sing  that  even- 
ing at  the  program.  Her  name  was  already 
prhited  on  the  programs  which  were  to 
be  passed  out  at  the  banquet  that  night, 
and  it  was  obviously  too  late  to  alter  the 
ink  that  had  already  dried  on  those  pages. 

Now  my  purpose  here  is  not  argue  the 
sex  appeal  of  this  girl.  The  banquet  was 
rated  "G"  for  general  admission,  and  no 
performance  with  sensual  implications 
could  be  allowed  at  such  a  funcuon. 

My  point  is  simply  this:  Why  was  the 
decision  of  censorship  made  so  late. 
Surely  this  was    with  the  result  of  a 
gross  oversight  on  someone  s  part,  or 
someone  was  playing  a  malicious  game 

But  the  evening  was  not  entirely  lost. 
Both  of  us  learned  how  to  put  the  back- 
spin  on  a  bowling  ball.

Dear  Editor: 

Blatant  ignorance  in  a  community 
dedicated  to  higher  learning  is  at  best 
embarrassing  for  the  commumty,  and 
Tworst,  deplorable.  Ignorance  breeds 
?ear  which  in  turn  breeds  preiudice. 

In  a  recent  class,  I  experienced  such 
prejudice  in  the  form  of  an  ethnic  slur. 


X 


Though  not  directed  toward  me,  it 
clearly  revealed  the  existing  lack  of 
educated  tolerance  toward  my  people- 
the  Jewish  people. 

According  to  the  SMC  catalog, 
"...  it  is  the  purpose  of  this  college  to 
send  forth  men  and  women  who  po- 
ssess breadth  of  mind..." 

Obviously,  knowledge  is  the  key  to 
openmindness.  Those  here  at  S  MC 
who  purport  to  be  knowledgeable,  ed- 
ucated, or  at  least  educable,  must  surely 
have  learned  in  studying  history  that  the 
Jewish  people  were  usurers  in  the  ghettos 
jof  Europe  because  they  were  farmers  by 
heritage  who  were  forced  to  adopt  a 
different  lifestyle  in  their  new  homelands. 

The  image  fostered  of  the  Jew  from 
'that  time  forth  has  been  one  of  miser- 
liness and  niggardliness.  Those  who  per- 
petrate this  image  today  are  the  ignorant 
few  who  apparently  believe  that  every 
Jewish  person  is  a  "penny-pincher   by 

The  SMC  Student  Handbook  specific- 
ally forbids  the  use  of  profanity  in  this 
community.  To  call  someone  (whether  or 
not  he  is  Jewish)  "A  Jew"  as  an  indict- 
ment of  his  frugality  is  to  use  profane 
language.  If  I  were  to  wear  a  Star-ot 
David  neclace,  I  would  be  breaking  a 
rule  of  the  Student  Handbook.  Which 
of  these  two  rules  is  harmlessly  broken ;

^^  ^'  ,    Tliic  vvn^  done  ,_..:„„     ij«-„ ;„    tu^  „..i 


A  recent  survey  was  taken  to 
wWcli  statements  sucli  as,    1.00 
can  be  known  through  or  mtne 
dmrch- of  which  527r  disagreed, 
and  37%  asreed.  while  tire  other 

Sai^srsq^ 

37r  of  those  questioned  were  non- 
sSa-s)  some  suggest  that  Its  roots 
lie  in  mandator)'  chapel  attendence 
instituted  throughout  Uie  year. 

But,  before  we  speculate  further 
on  causes,  many  folk  are  having  in- 
dignant feelings  about  the  validity 
of  the  results,  so  following  is  a  briet, 
and  accurate  account  of  the  survey  s 
conception  and  its  presentation  to 

the  subjects  who  took  it. 

A  serious  behavorial  science  stud 

enth^d  two  projects  for  his  behavior 

classes  for  first  semester  of  thjs  pre 
ent  school  year.  The  initial  plan  was 

to  use  the  religious  attitudes  inven- 
tory the  same  as  used  by  the  depart- 
S  Itself,  on  subjects  of  Southern 
Missionary  College  and  subjects  ot 
Mumbia'union  CoUege,  in  hopes  of 
ascertaining  whether  the  traditionally 
held  belief  of  SMC  being  the  most 
"onservative  religious  school  really 
existed.  Upon  request  for  Permission 
to  carry  out  the  inventory  at  CUL  the 
dean  of  students  gave  a  negative.  So 
the  results  obtained  reflect  only  the 
attitudes  of  students  of  SMC . 

Because  of  the  sensitive  nature  ot 
the  questions  satisfactory  preface  re-

There  are  attitudes  which  show 
not  so  great  a  reactionaxy  feehng  to- 
ward religion  such  as;  God  can  be 
influenced  by  prayer.io  which  a  2/. 
majority  of  46%  agreeing,  overriding  a 
44%  disagreeing  minonty.  Students 
have  shown  in  this  survey  that  their 
religious  experience  comes  mostly 
through  their  own  personal  prayers     ^ 
and  devotional  Hves.  To  the  statement 
God  reveals  himself  through  our  prayers 
our  devotional  lives,  im  agree, 

10%  disagree.  . 

On  the  other  hand  of  religiousness, 
being  associated  with  church,  a  dis- 
parity is  evident  in  that  61%  disagree 
that  being  religious  is  primarily  as- 
sociated with  church  acliviries, where- 
as 25%  agree.  The  same  holds  true  to 
the  belief  that  religion  requires  us  to 
be  and  f  or  do  good. 

Is  this  attitude  about  the  church 
really  so  wrong?  Perhaps  not,  for 
EUen  White  wrote  in  Happiness  Home- 
made page  18,  "One  well-ordered  well- 
disciplined  family  tells  more  in  behalf 
of  Christianity  then  all  the  sermons 
that  can  be  preactied.    Ts  it  preach- 
ing then,  that  brings  influences  to 
a  person  to  be  close  to  God,  or 
could  it  be  an  observation  of  human 
behavior? 

Also  included  on  the  questionnaire 


were  questions  dealing  with  moral  be- 
havior. Here  again,  the  subjects  were 
lu-ged  by  both  the  teacher  and  the 
student  administering  the  inventory 
that  the  questionnaire  was  a  serious 
tiling,  and  to  please  respond  accurate- 
ly. The  survey  revealed  that  of  those 
who  are  not  married  20%  said  they 
had  engaged  in  pre.inarital  intercourse, 
and  65%  had  not,  leaving  1 5%  who 
had  no  response. 

The  question  to  married  students 
was  stated;  Before  you  were  married 
did  you  engage  in  premartial  inter- 
course with  the  person  to  whom  you 
are  now  married  to?  To  which  a 
majority  of  29%  said  yes,  overriding 
a  negative  24%;  minority,  leaving  47% 
who  had  no  response.  When  asked  if 
this  impaired  the  success  of  their  mar- 
riage in  any  way,  7%  said  yes  it  had, 
24%  said  no  it  had  not. 

Of  those  students  who  were  not 
brought  up  as  SDA's  1 1%  revealed 
that  they  had  engaged  m  premartial 
intercourse;  and  56%i  had  not;  and 
33%  had  no  response.  Of  those 
students  who  were  brought  up  as 
SDA's  28%  revealed  that  they  had 
engaged  in  premarital  intercourse ; 
and  54%  had  not;  and  1 8%  had  no 
response. 

The  survey  revealed  that  increas- 
ing age  was  directly  proportional  to 
an  increasing  incidence  in  premarital 
intercourse. 

Of  Theology  and  Religion  majors 
26%  had  premarital  intercourse;  44% 
had  not;  and  30%  had  no  response. 
And  of  the  students  with  any  major 
other  then  Theology  or  Religion  22% 
had  premarital  intercourse,  and  58% 
had  not;  and  20%  had  no  response. 
Now  what  do  all  these  statistics 
prove?  Why  include  them  in  a 
student  newspaper?  Why  should 
anyone  find  out  what  his  brother 
believes  of  how  he  behaves?  Why 
should  we  be  concerned  with  the 
religious  attitudes  of  individuals 
at  a  religious  institution?  Are  we 
our  brother's  keeper?

The  Heritage  Family  Singers  with 
Direc  or  Jerry  Leisl<e,  wUI  present  a 
gospel  concert  next  Monday  at  730 
p.m.  in  the  CoUegedale  Church. 

This  group,  consisting  of  ten  dedicated 
and  versatde  singing  artists,  is  presently 
on  tour  of  the  southeastern  United  States 
ihey  hail  from  the  cold  regions  of 
-anada    But  it  is  a  sure  thing  that  their 
love  tor  Christ  will  overcome  any  cold 
iliey  may  symbolize. 

According  to  Charlie  Brown,  their 
producer  at  World  Records,  has  never 
worked  with  a  finer  or  more  enthus- 
iastic group  of  people  than  the  Heritage 
Family      He  feels  that,  "They  have  the 
talent  needed  to  make  an  impact  on  the 
musical  scene..." 

All  that  adds  up  to  the  fact  that  this 
group,  one  of  the  first  in  gospel  singing- 
witness  groups  in  the  Seventh-day  Ad- 
rentist  Church,  is  on  fire  for  Christ  in 
Uieir  singing  and  personal  testimony.

Istiange  objects  were  reported 
Vi  the  SMC  campus  last  Sunday, 
y  turned  out  to  be  only  two  of 
Jhbersof  the  SMC  parachute  club, 
|nie  demonstration  jumps  to  draw 
0  the  club.  Bill  Bolton  and 
ridge  each  made  three  free-fall 
Iver  the  campus  from  4,500  feet, 
le  weather  was  ideal,  and  landed 

d  to  the  rear  of  Talge  hall, 
ftliib  is  off  to  a  good  start  with 
Pmembers.thus  making  the  sport 
bving  a  reality  on  the  SMC  campus. 
|mbeis  are  stiU  being  accepted, 
7  they  should  join  as  soon  as  they 
kl  the  most  out  of  the  club  for 
Binder  of  the  year. 
■  g  sessions  will  start  as  soon  as 
land  actual  jumping  shortly  after. 
Tenses  for  the  members  may  be 
fan  predicted  since  it  is  possible 
I  parachute  club  from  UTC  will  be 
nd  renting  the  plane  with  the 

b  will  be  affiliated  with  the 
pates  Parachute  Association  and 

>iate  Parachuting  League. 


It  is  hoped  that  SMC  will  have  an  active 
club  capable  of  competing  with  other 
colleges  in  parachute  meets. 

Some  have  asked,  "How  safe  is  sky 
diving?"  the  answer  is,  "How  high  is 
up?"  Sky  diving  is  as  safe  as  the  partic- 
ipant makes  it.  Statistically,  jumping 
out  of  an  airplane  with  a  parachute  is 
safer  than  driving  down  an  American 
highway. 

Bill  Bolton,  who  has  been  jumping 
for  ten  years  and  has  accumulated  some 
2,280  sport  parachute  jumps,  will 
give  professional  advice  and  training 
to  the  club  members.  He  has  also  of- 
fered to  lend  the  use  of  his  Cessna  182 
and  all  of  his  parachute  equipment. 

There  are  enough  chutes  to  go 
around  so  that  a  plane  load  can  be  in 
the  air,  ready  to  jump  and  another  load 
on  the  ground  packing  and  getting 
ready  to  go  as  soon  as  the  plane  lands. 

The  question  most  frequently  asked 
is,  "What  if  the  chute  doesn't  open?" 
There  is  no  reason  for  the  chute  not  to 


open  if  it  is  good  equipment  and  packed 
right.  The  club  has  the  best  and  safest 
equipment  available,  and  the  instructors 
carefully  teach  everyone  how  to  pack 
their  chutes. 

As  an  added  safety  measure,  every 
emergency  chute  has  an  atmospheric 
pressure  sensing  device  which  automat- 
ically opens  the  chute  if  the  jumper  falls 
below  1 ,000  feet  above  ground  at  a 
critical  rate  of  descent. 

Although  sky  diving  in  some  cases 
can  be  a  rich  man's  sport,  it  doesn't 
have  to  be.  The  estimated  cost  in  the 
club  is  $25  for  training  and  the  first 
jump.  If  the  club  acquires  enough 
members,  the  plane  can  be  rented  by 
the  hour  thus  costing  only  around  $  1 
to  $3  a  jump.

Last  Monday  night  at  7:31  p.m.  the 
eighth  regular  meeting  of  the  S.  A  Sen- 
ate was  called  to  order  by  parliamentar- 
ian Steve  Jones.  BobZima,S.  A  Vice- 
i^resident  and  presiding  officer  of  the 
Senate,  had  scripture  and  prayer. 

The  first  point  on  the  agenda  was 
the  discussion  of  the  pending  proposal 
of  pantsuits  for  general  campus  wear 
that  must  be  approved  by  the  Faculty- 
Senate  before  becoming  an  actuality. 
Dean  Spears  was  there  to  clarify  ques- 
tions and  comments  on  the  issue.  Ac- 
cording to  Dean  Spears,  if  this  were 
voted  upon  by  tlie  Faculty-Senate, 
"About  75%  would  vote  for  pants 
anytime,  if  they  were  sure  they  would 
not  get  faded  blue-jeans  and  things  of 
this  nature,  but  get  what  they  voted 
for."  He  went  on  to  say  "Experience 
in  other  campuses  has  shown  they 
don't  get  what  they  vote  for." 

After  Julie  Lamson  was  voted  to 
lemporardy  fill  Debbie  Fillman's  va- 
cant Senate  post,  Doug  Clarke  report- 
ed the  results  of  the  poll  taken  January 
22  at  the  divisionalized  chapel  on  the 
issue  of  the  plus-and-minus  system. 
In  answer  to  the  question  "Are  you  in 
agreement  with  the  plus-and-minus 
system  as  it  now  stands?  1 07  agreed. 


73  were  in  disagreement,  whUe  138 
would  like  to  see  the  system  remain 
It  certain  changes  were  instituted  into 
It.  96wereinfavorofabohshmentof 
t  entirely. 

The  pros  and  criticisms  were  then 
discussed.  In  answer  to  the  proposition 
that  the  plus-and-minus  system  hurt 
students  because  some  colleges  would 
not  accept  a  C-  toward  a  major,  Dr. 
Hanson  said,  "Dr.  Kutzner  knows  of 
no  college  that  does  this.  The  only 
way  one  could  be  hurt  is  if  he  trans- 
ferred to  another  school  that  has  the 
plus-and-minus  system  and  they  don't 
accept  a  C-  for  a  major. 

Next  Gerald  Brown  was  voted  to 
replace  Kay  Waller  as  a  student  repre- 
sentative to  the  Faculty-Senate.  Judy 
Wade  then  brought  to  the  Senate's 
attention  the  subject  of  replacing 
missing  pieces  to  various  games  that 
belong  to  the  S.  A.  and  are  kept  in 
the  Student  Center.  It  was  decided 
that  Judy  should  investigate  the  cost 
of  an  air  hockey  table,  in  addition 
to  taking  necessary  measures  to  re- 
place the  game  pieces.  This  being 
the  last  point  on  the  agenda,  the 
meeting  was  adjourned.

Insighl  magazine  has  recently  been 
facing  some  stormy  weather  regarding 
their  current  financial  problems.  The 
fact  is  that  Insight  is  now  loosing 
money.  This  is  largely  due  to  dwindling 
numbers  of  subscribers  which  has  now 
dipped  to  the  point  where  Insight  has 
lost  money  for  both  of  the  past  two 
years. 

Insight  is  currently  exploring  ways 
to  alleviate  its  financial  problems  in 
the  near  future.  One  proposed  solu- 
tion would  be  a  merger  of  Insight  with 
the  General  Conference  Youth  De- 
partment. Insight's  editor,  Mike  Jones, 
says  that  this  is  one  possible  way  to 
remedy  the  magazine's  money  problems. 
The  merger  proposal  has  not  progressed 
past  the  discussion  stages  as  of  yet.  He 
said  no  definite  action  can  be  taken 
until  the  next  General  Conference 
session  which  is  not  until  1 975.  At 
present  Insight  is  published  by  the 
Review  &  Hearld  Publishing  Associ- 
ation, which  is  owned  by  the  General 
Conference. 

'"This  magazine  will  not  survive 
in  its  present  form  if  we  don't  get 
some  support,"  Jones  said  recently. 
Subscriptions  have  dropped  from 
over  50,000  at  one  time  to  a  low  of 
,39,900  at  present.  Insight's  circula- 
tion has  stabilized  between  43  and 
45,000  subscribers. 

There  are  several  reasons  for  the 
loss  of  subscribers  that  Insight  has 
undergone.  When  the  magazine  first 
appeared  in  May  of  1970,  a  number 
of  Conferences  and  Institutions 
helped  Insight  to  get  on  its  feet  by 
guaranteeing  to  underwrite  large 
subscriptions. 

As  many  of  these  charter  sub- 
scriptions ran  out  they  just  did  not 
resubscribe. 

Another  significant  factor  is  that 
Insist  lost  some  support  among 
conservatives  in  Sabbath  School  and 
boarding  school  positions.  Some 
academies,  such  as  Monterey  Bay 
Academy  in  California,  terminated 
their  subscriptions  completely  untili 
recently  when  a  number  have  once 


again  renewed  their  subscriptions. 
This  is  a  rathe'r  serious  problem  since 
60-65  percent  of  the  circulation  is 
bulk  subscriptions.  Insiglit  recom- 
mends one  copy  per  room  in  SDA 
hording  schools  in  North  America. 

Talge  Hall  receives  140  copies 
for  its  362  residents.  According  to 
those  responsible  for  its  distribu- 
tion in  the  dorm  the  demand  there 
far  outweighs  the  supply . 

Jones  reports  that  Insight  has 
lost  much  support  among  Advci.- 
tist  in  other  English  speaking  coun- 
tries. The  circulation  has  decreased 
by  as  many  as  5,000  outside  of  the 
United  States  since  publication  be- 
gan. He  says  that  leaders  from  these 
countries  were  told  when  Insight 
began  publication  that  the  magazine 
was  primarly  for  Americans.  Jones 
disagrees  with  this  philosphy  and  is 
now  making  efforts  to  woo  these 
Adventist  countries  back.  Aspartof 
this  effort  Insight  is  attempting  to 
include  more  international  articles 
by  young  writers  hke  23  year  old 
Jane  Allen  who  is  a  correspondent 
in  the  Middle  East. 

Jones  stated  that  there  are  several 
appealing  aspects  of  the  proposed 
link-up  with  the  General  Conference 
Youth  Department.  As  he  now  sees 
it,  the  magazine's  staff  would  become 
employees  of  the  Youth  Department, 
with  the  editor  possibly  becoming  an 
associate  secretary.  This  could  provide 
rationale  for  paying  one  editor  from 
General  Conference  funds,  leaving  one 
less  salary  to  be  paid  from  money 
brought  in  by  subscriptions. 

Jones  said  probably  the  most 
appealing  aspect  of  all  is  that  it 
would  give  Insight  a  departmental 
base  for  promotion  of  the  magaziiie 
such  Hi  Liberty  has  in  the  Religious 
Liberty  Department.  He  said  that 
at  this  time  they  are  just  not  being 
given  the  promotional  support  that 
they  need  by  the  men  in  the  field.

Take  a  look  around  you  ■ 

Last  week  in  my  history  class  another  chapter  in 
the  year-long  controversy  between  SMC    liberals 
and  "conservatives"  was  written,  , 

A  student  suggested  to  his  teacher  *at  one  ot 
the  textbooks  being  used  was  pornographic  because 
there  were  mthin  its  pages  prints  of  certain  cl^-

to  learn  of  such  historical  events,  he  stated.  This 
statement  led  to  a  rather  heated  discussion  of  Ad- 
ventists  and  their  involvement  m  the  world.  resuU

ducted  from  the  streets  of  CoUegedale  and  narrowly 
escaped  being  mped.  ™s  taeident  occuied  m 
front  of  the  coUege  apartments,  withra  the  hub  of 
our  secure,  Adventist  community,  our  "rose-among- 
thoms"  city,  as  one  of  my  classmates  so  aptly  to- 
mbed it.  And  this  is  not  the  first  of  such  mcidents 
to  occur  recently. 

Not  long  ago  I  was  discussing  SMC  s  karate  class 
with  a  giri  on  my  dorm  wing,  "Oh,  I  do"'*  »«« to 
know  about  that,"  die  stated,  "Even  if  I  should  be 
cau^t  m  a  bad  situation,  the  Lord  would  get  me 
out  OK." 

It  is  not  my  purpose  in  this  editorial  to  question 
the  power  of  God  or  the  hand  of  Providence,  but 
the  ignorance  of  some  of  His  foUowers  in  their  role 
as  guardians  of  His  law,  including  No,  7. 

We  Adventists  are  part  of  a  larger  commumty 
than  just  our  church;  we  owe  our  fellowman  more 
flian  impassive  observation  as  we  shake  the  dust 
from  our  feet.  The  church  as  a  body  is  doing  a 
great  deal  of  good-physical  as  weU  as  spiritual-for 
aiose  outside  our  ranks.  But  the  nanow  views  and 
exclusive  attitudes  of  many  individuals  undermme 
much  of  the  good  others  have  done. 

When  Christ  prayed  for  His  foUowers  He  said, 
"I  pray  not  that  thou  shouldst  take  them  out  of 
the  worid  but  that  thou  shouldst  keep  them  from 
the  evfl."  (John  17:15).  EUen  White  says  in  Pat- 
riarchs and  Prophets,  "They  (God's  people)  must 
keep  themselves  free  from  its  (the  world's)  spmt, 
because  it  is  opposed  to  truth  and  righteousness. 
But  God  did  not  intend  that  His  people,  in  self- 
righteous  exclusiveness,  should  shut  themselves 
away  from  the  worid,  so  that  they  could  have  no 
influence  upon  it." 

I  will  be  the  first  to  admit  that  too  much  ex- 
posure to  the  worid  and  its  corrupting  influences 
can  callous  individuals.  But  with  all  its  evils  and 
hnperfections,  it  is  our  world  and  until  Christ  comes 
and  removes  us  we  have  to  live  in  it. 

Ignorance  and  exclusiveness  do  not  breed  im- 
provement. It  is  our  duty  to  face  the  worid  field 
as  it  is  and  react  accordingly.  Burying  your  head 
in  the  sand  is  turning  your  hack  on  reality.

On  Second 
Thought 


Dear  Editors: 

Surveys  of  premarital  sexual  be- 
havior of  students  undoubtedly  at- 
tract interest.  Beyond  that,  the  re- 
asons for  publishing  the  results  of 
such  surveys  in  the  feurtera  ,4c- 
cent  are  less  obvious.  In  qucsUon- 
ine  the  wisdom  of  publishing  these 
reJults  I  fmd  myself  defendlirg  a 
position  which  I  am  more  often  prone 
to  attack-the  withholding  of  infor- 
mation. In  general,  I  think  far  too 
much  of  this  goes  on  withjn  our 
church  (probably  all  churches)  and 
our  government  (the  problems  sur- 
rounding Watergate  being  a  case  in 

""""plrhaps  withholding  information 
could  be  justified  1)  if  it  is  not  being 
withheld  for  the  purpose  of  deception, 
2)  if  its  pubUcation  may  very  Ukeiy 
lead  to  erroneous  conclusions  on  the 
part  of  readers,  and  3)  if  its  pubhca- 
tion  leads  to  no  really  useful  purpose, 

1  don't  think  anyone  could  sen- 
ously  charge  you  with  deception  had 
you  not  pubUshed  the  results  ot  this 
survey.  If  the  results  were  highly  re- 
liable, if  you  had  reason  to  beUeve 
that  most  readers  of  the  Southern 
Accent  were  of  the  opinion  that 
the  incidence  of  premarital  sex 
among  students  is  far  below  (or 
above)  that  indicated  by  the  survey, 
and  if  the  decision  was  made  to  with- 
hold the  results  in  order  to  keep  (tor 
some  reason  oi  other)  the  readers 
misinformed,  then  deception  would  „ 
be  involved.  These  axe  three  big    ifs. 
It  would  be  difficult  to  estabhsh  the 
truth  of  any  one  of  them  to  say  nothing 
of  all  three. 

I  am  of  the  opinion  that  the  pub- 
lication of  the  results  of  the  survey  wiU 
lead  to  erroneous  conclusions  on  the 
part  of  many  readers.  Some  wiU  assign 
more  reUability  to  the  figures  than  they 
warrant.  What  conclusions  can  you 
draw  concerning  the  behavior  ot  a 
populaUon  when  15%  to  47%  of  the 
ample  refused  to  answer  a  given 
question'?  How  much  faith  can  you 
put  in  aswers  to  questions  which  deal 
with  such  a  personal  matter  as  sexual 
behavior?  Does  asking  the  subjects  to 
take  the  questionnaire  seriously  assure 
us  that  they  will?  I  can't  think  of  a 
better  way  to  get  information  on  this 
subject,  but  are  all  readers  aware  of 
the  potentially  large  margin  of  £ 


lUlw  Kiob  a?         /etters  to  the  editor

in  a  study  of  this  nature? 

When  you  publish  similar  statis- 
tics from  other  colleges  will  you  be 
able  to  assure  us  that  their  surveys 
and  statistical  techniques  are  compar- 
able to  ours  ( the  same  or  very  similar 
questions  asked,  the  same  method  of 
sampling  used,  the  percentage  of  no 
responses  to  each  question  given,  etc.)? 
Is  it  possible  that  a  significant  number 
of  readers  will  make  serious  judgments 
of  the  College,  the  Seventh-day  Adven- 
tist Church,  or  religion  in  general  on  the 
basis  of  incomparable  or  just  plain  m- 
accuiate  statistics? 

Let's  assume  the  statistics  you  pub- 
lished are  pretty  accurate.  Most  of  us 
find  comfort  in  the  fact  that  many 
others  make  the  same  mistakes  we  make. 
This  is  probably  all  right  so  long  as  we 
recognize  our  actions  as  mistakes  and 
resolve,  with  (3od's  help,  to  overcome 
the  problem.  If,  however,  we  use  the 
knowledge  that  many  yield  to  various 
temptations  to  justify  (in  advance  of 
the  act)  OUT  own  yielding  or  to  mduce 
others  to  yield,  then  die  possession  of 
such  knowledge  becomes  detrimental 
to  the  possessor  and  the  community  as 
a  whole.  1  may  be  wrong,  but  I  suspect 
that  the  published  survey  results  will 
be  put  to  such  use  by  a  small  number 
of  immature  readers.   , 

If,  according  to  your  (assumed  ac- 
curate) statistics,  SMC  has  a  lower  (or 
higher)  incidence  of  premarital  sex  than 
some  other  college,  what  does  that  prove? 
I  think  that  in  many  readers'  minds  it  will 
reflect  on  the  religious  dimension  of  the 
College.  Perhaps  the  College  Is  doing  a 
rather  good  (or  poor)  job  of  educating  the 
students  to  the  serious  social  and  personal 
consequences  of  this  sin.  Then  again,  the 
results  may  reflect  more  upon  the  pop- 
ulation from  which  we  draw  our  students. 
Undoubtedly  there  are  many  other  con- 
clusions which  could  be  drawn.  It  is 
hazardous  to  Ohow  out  raw  statistics 
and  let  the  reader  draw  his  own  conclusions- 
especially  in  such  a  sensitive  area  as  sexual 
behavior. 

I  have  attempted  to  show  that  it  would 
not  have  been  deceitful  for  you  not  to  have 
published  the  resulu  ot  the  survey,  and  Uat 
its  publication  could  very  well  lead  to  m- 
correct  or  harmful  conclusions.  I  place  the 
burden  of  showing  such  information  to  be 
useful  general  knowledge  in  your  hands.

VIEWPOINT 


Orlo  OUbert 

■nie  question  was  asked  of  me, 
■iviv  doesn't  the  music  department 
yjnso.  music  groups  of  the  "IN" 

'"llUttempt  to  answer  this  ques- 
awitii  my  opinions  and  not  as 
Uicial  dogma  of  the  denomin- 
ion  or  the  music  department. 
Onemight  say  that  the  music 
artment  is  a  depository  or  pre- 
irofwhat  it  considers  the    Art 
_„usic  or  the  classics.  Now  you 
sl/'Wliat  do  you  mean  by  the 
lassies?"  1  feel  that  this  is  music 
ihicli  tiirough  the  test  of  time 
loves  itself  to  be  of  lasting  value 
id  beauty;  therefore,  needs  to 

and  passed  on  to  future 
^Btiations.  _ 

The  music  of  the  masses  or   pop- 
music"  has  an  ever  changing  and 
I  lived  style  which  is  self  genera- 
and  is  easily  accessible .  This 
ii  of  music  because  of  these  charac- 
Bslics  generally  needs  no  special 
ilection  to  insure  its  continuance, 
ilhermore,  there  is  in  the  very 
tap  of  the  text  and  musical  con- 
il  of  the  popular  music  aspects 
'  lly  inconsistent  with  our  partic- 
Adventist  Christian  beliefs. 
.Jusical  content,  source,  and 
foraiance  manner  are  the  three 
I  that  cause  me  to  have  personal 
lid  with  the  popular  "religious 
1  singing  groups"  of  our  day. 
lere  does  the  musical  content 
|,.;  songs  and  the  style  of  singing 
[these  groups  come  from?  It  ap- 
is quite  obvious  that  it  is  not  a 
ly  new  and  original  way  of  pre- 
message  as  unique  as  the 


Two  sides   on 
contemporary  christian  music 


Three  Angels  Message  but  rather  a 
profane,  watered-down  version  of 
current  rock  groups  seen  on  TV, 
night  clubs,  concert  halls,  or  driig 
pads.  ^ 

I  do  not  condemn  or  condone  the 
current  groups,  I  only  raise  the  ques- 
tion as  to  the  justification  of  this 
approach  to  spreading  the  gospel. 

Personally,  I  feel  the  "sensuous" 
use  of  the  microphones,  the  chord 
progressions  based  on  the  rock  idiom, 
and  the  beat  whose  foundation  is 
"rock"  only  serve  to  cheapen  rather 
than  elevate  the  soul. 

The  questions  that  keep  poking 
at  my  cerebrum  are  these.  If  what 
we  are  doing  is  right  (IN  groups) 
and  the  source  is  pure,  why  don't 
we  go  all  the  way  and  put  sacred 
themes  to  "Acid  Rock."  Wouldn't 
this  even  reach  more  of  the  masses 
if  that  is  the  justification  for  use? 
Where  do  we  go  from  here?  Would 
not  the  congregation  understand  the 
music  better  if  the  organist  would 
play  to  the  accompaniment  of  a 
"ballroom  piano,"  string  bass,  and 
drum  in  our  church  service? 

As  a  youth  and  as  a  student  in 
Adventist  schools,  I  have  beerf 
taught  that  God  demands  the  very 
best.  We  are  to  present  to  Him 
only  the  purest  and  noblest  works 
of  art  in  a  manner  that  will  glorify 
God  and  not  man. 

There  are  sources,  Adventist  and 
Non-Adventist,  from  which  I  could 
have  quoted,  but  this  is  an  opinion 
column  and  1  appreciate  the  oppor- 
tunity to  be  able  to  exercise  mine. 


There  has  been  a  change  the  last  few 
years  in  the  type  of  music  our  youth  are 
singing.  These  new  songs  with  their  refresh- 
ing new  melodies  and  deep  thought-out 
words  are  reaching  the  hearts  of  thousands 
who  have  the  privilege  of  listening  to  them. 

The  Southern  Union  has  12  witness 
singing  teams  actively  engaged  in  sharing 
Christ.  When  the  songs  that  are  sung  create 
within  the  heart  of  the  hearer  a  desire  to 
love  Jesus  more,  and  he  finds  his  thoughts 
are  turned  heavenward,  then  you  can  be 
sure  that  God  is  in  the  heart  of  the  singers 
and  their  song  brings  joy  to  those  who 
listen. 

By  the  messages  in  song  from  these 
12  teams,  many  have  their  thoughts  up- 
lifted from  the  trials  and  difficulties  of  the 
way,  the  restless,  turbulent  spirit  is  soothed 
and  calmed,  the  principles  of  truth  are  im- 
planted in  the  memory,  and  faith  is  strength- 
ened. "The  melody  of  praise  is  the  atmos- 
phere of  heaven;  and  when  heaven  comes 
in  touch  with  the  earth  there  is  music. 

It  is  my  conviction  that  the  change  in 
most  of  the  religious  music  among  our 
youth  has  been  directed  of  God-music 
that  they  enjoy  singing  and  that  is  also 
beneficial  to  those  who  listen.  "Our  youth 
are  set  as  liglitbearers  on  the  way  to  heaven. 
They  are  to  reflect  to  the  world  the 
light  shining  upon  them  from  Christ. 
Their  life  and  character  should  be  such 
that  through  them  others  will  get  a  right 
conception  of  Christ  and  of  His  service. 
Christians  who  gather  up  gloom  and  sad- 
ness to  their  souls  and  murmur  and  complain 
are  giving  to  others  a  laise  representation 
of  God  and  the  Christian  life.  They  give 
the  impression  that  God  is  not  pleased 
to  have  His  children  happy,  and  in  this

chey  bear  talse  witness  against  our 
heavenly  Father."  Steps  to  Christ,  pp. 
}  15,  116. 

The  fact  that  thousands  have  been  in- 
spired during  this  past  year  and  that  hun- 
dreds gave  their  hearts  to  God,  gives  me 
reason  for  great  rejoicing  to  see  how  God 
is  using  these  dedicated  youth  in  this  spec- 
ial type  of  witnessing  to  hasten  the  soon- 
coming  of  Christ. 

The  1-1/2  million  dollars  free  TV  time, 
the  hundreds  of  appointments  made  in 
shopping  malls,  prisons,  churches,  parks, 
etc.,  convinces  me  that  this  type  of  witness 
has  done  more  to  break  down  prejudice 
than  anything  we  have  done  in  the  past 
130  years. 

I  overheard  a  baptist  minister  say,  after 
listening  and  fellowshiping  with  one  of  our 
teams,  "It  is  nice  to  know  that  Seventh- 
day  Adventists  love  Christ  too."  We  are 
getting  this  kind  of  response,  and  I  say  we 
have  lost  130  years  of  prime  time.  lam 
convinced  that  these  singing  teams,  as  well 
as  all  other  youth  engaged  in  soul-winning, 
have  the  privilege  of  taking  part  in  the 
very  beginning  of  the  latter  rain.

There  are  a  growing  number  of  us  who 
feel  that  dorm  life,  as  it  exists,  is  not  a 
necessity.  And  to  argue  its  merits  on  the 
basis  of  protection,  watch  care,  spirituality, 
or  convenience  would  be  sheer  verbosity 
with  nothing  more  accomplished  than 
wasted  paper  space.  However,  mandatory 
dorm  residence  does  have  one  very  sound 
merit-financially  it  is  an  excellent  and 
sure  source  of  revenue.  But  does  this  have 
to  be?  Some  of  us  are  havmg  a  hard  enough 
time  as  it  is  getting  through  college  without 
having  to  pay  for  the  unnecessary-  It's  sort 
of  like  trying  to  wring  water  from  a  dry 
sponge. 

Isn't  it  peculiar  that  at  SMC,  by  public 
"utterance''  of  two  "I  do's,"  suddenly  two 
people  arc  transformed  as  if  by  some  mys- 
tical process  of  metamorphosis  into  respon- 
sible adults-'Stalwart  Bulwarks"  capable  of 
"weathering  life's  tempestuous  seas."  And 
isn't  it  ironic  that  although  we  as  single 
people  (and  perhaps  with  some  audacity) 
consider  ourselves  aduhs,  the  State  of 
Tennessee  considers  us  adults,  as  United 
States  Citizens  we  are  considered  adults, 
being  beyond  the  age  of  accountabUity 
God  considers  us  as  adults,  yet  SMC  can- 
not extend  to  us  this  same  courtesy.

Dear  Editor: 

If  recent  events  are  any  indication  of 
what's  in  store  for  the  new  year-then  k  ds, 
your  apathy  is  finally  seeing  some  results. 
Aren't  you  proud  of  yourselves?        . 

Case  in  pomt.  Everyone's  screaniing 
for  action,  ''We  want  more  to  do,     but 
those  sami  action-fiends,  when  apP">ach- 
ed  to  he^p  plan  those  activities,  hli  behind 
the  apparently  innocuous  excuse,    I  don  t 
have  the  time."  Trouble  is,  everyone  is

""^'•Get'Mimething  done,"  you  say? 

Why  don't  you  do  something. 

You  know,  three  VeMs  ago  *«  had 
.hp  CTeat  four  on  campus;  Elkms,  tggen

It's  Sgerous  to  get  up,  crawl  out,  and 


be  a  go-getter-it's  always  dangerous  when 
you  threaten  the  smug,  self-complacency 
of  the  apathetics. 

Sure,  we're  doing  alot  for  Bonnie  Oaks; 
we're  doing  alot  for  the  fue  department; 
we're  doing  alot  for  Nicaragua.. -What  are  we 
doing  for  SMC? 

SA  elections  are  coming  up  soon,  although 
that's  not  my  primary  reason  for  writing  this, 
and  you  can  show  me  if  you're  alive  and 
care  by  voting.  That  may  give  others  some 
hope.

Dear  Editor: 

1  am  one  of  the  negative  team 
that  would  like  the  statis  quota  to 
remain  the  same  as  it  is.      „....„ 

1)  We  are  paying  for  a  Chnstian 
education.  Dress  goes  along  with  the 
education.  If  the  girls  want  to  wear 
pantsuits  to  classes,  then  let  them 
go  to  UTC. 

2)  If  pantsuits  are  passed,nhen 
the  oris  will  start  wearmg  blue  leans 
and  their  femininity  is  then  lost. 

A  guy  would  like  to  see  a  girl  m  a 
dress  not  pants  all  the  time. 

All  those  opposed  to  the  pant- 
suit  idea  should  write  a  letter  to 
Dr.  Knittel.  He  sliould  receive  it 
no  later  than  February  10. 

Attention  males!  We  want  your 
letters  too.  They  countjust  as  much 
if  not  more.  How  would  you  like  to 
see  the  girls  dressed  at  SMC . .

New  trash  system 

proposed  to 
Collegedale  Comm. 


,      Tired  of  the  inefficient  program 
of  trash  pick-up  cunently  in  use . 
^^u/comAussion  made  .ts  mam 

UlSneS  Monday  night,  a  new  trash 

'  '^^"iTBraught,  national  sales  mana- 
I  »er  for  USS  Chemicals,  Division  o 
uited  States  Steel,  presented  a  film- 
strip  of  the  "RoU-a-Waste- system 
nowinusemvanouscoi^umues 
thrcuehout  the  eastern  Umted  Mates. 
'       iif  filmstrip  endeavored  to  show 
I  how  it  was  more  efficiem  in  a  num- 
'""n  Because  the  82-gallon  container 

IS  on  a  frame  with  wheels,  anyorie 
I  can  handle  it-from  kids  to  grand- 

''^l^Having  uash  stored  in  a  big 
.  con'tainer  with  a  Ud  wUl  help  to 
discourage  the  dogs  that  habituaUy 

tip  over  garbage  cans. 

3)  With  the  increased  capacity 
of  these  barrels,  the  city  will  be 

1  able  to  pick  up  trash  once  a  week 

4)  The  system  employs  a  hydraui- 
I  ic  lifter  which  wiU  help  to  cut  down 

1  on  injuries  involved  with  lifting. 

Great  claims  were  made  about  this 
new  high-density,  polyethylene  con- 
tainer. It  seems  that  it's  virtually  in- 
destructible. The  can  has  survived 
the  brutal  treatment  of  being  towed 
behind  a  speeding  car  and  let  loose 
to  go  crazily  down  the  road  until 
it  hit  something  (the  fun  of  some 
pranksters). 

Garbage  acid,  extreme  cold  200 

pounds  of  trash,  and  a  full  load  of 
water  have  aD  been  met  by  the  superb 
qualities  of  this  contamer. 

The  price  for  one  of  these    super- 
cans"  is  S35.  If  bought  in  a  quantity 
of  500  or  more,  Mr.  Braught  quoted 
the  now  "going  price"  as  S29.50. 
Perhaps  students  of  Southern 
Missionary  College  will  be  here  long 
enough  to  see  this  plan  implemented, 
but  ifs  doubtful.  The  only  action 
taken  on  the  new  sanitation  system 
I  was  to  recommend  that  Mr.  Walter 


HerreU,  Public  works  commissioner, 

go^ed  and  look  into  this  mater 

Sore  fully  and  see  if  the  plan  IS 

feasible  for  Collegedale. 

The  controversial  re-zonmg  of 
the  real  estate  at  the  junction  ot 
Moore  and  Camp  Roads  also  sur- 

^'^Due  to  various  complaints  of 
Collegedale  citizens,  the  Commission 
referred  the  zoning  bill  back  to  the 
Chattanooga  and  Hamilton  County 
Regional  Planning  Commission,  where 
upon  said  real  estate  has  been  re-zoned     I 
from  business  to  town-house  apart-  | 

ment  zone.  ^      ,      -  ' 

The  first  reading  and  first  hearing  | 
were  given  toniglit  and  it  was  adopted  , 
byaun^'nim™^™'^-  A  second  hearing  , 
wUl  be  given  at  the  next  meeting  ot  | 

the  Collegedale  City  Commission. 

Other  business  included  the  further 
working  out  of  a  long-range  plan  that 
mcludes  a  community  center  for  the 

"^  The  center  would  have  a  gymnasium; 
basketball,  tennis,  and  soft-ball  courts; 
and  possibly  a  swimming  pool. 

Trails  for  horseback -riding  and  mira- 
bikes  are  also  planned. 

Then  came  the  budget-it  didn  t  look 
too  good  to  Mr.  "Buddy"  Blair,  city 
auditor,  who  pointed  out  many  de- 
ficits which  need  paying-up. 

One  major  outlay  that  had  not  ap- 
peared in  the  budget, but  still  was 
undertaken,  was  the  purchase  ot  the 
American  gas  station  adjacent  to  the 
City  Hall    That  set  them  back  525,000 
A  S70  000  loan  to  the  Fire  Depart- 
ment still  needs  569,000  repaid. 

Mr  Wayne  VandeVere,  finance 
commissioner,  expressed  concern  over 
the  failure  to  stick  to  the  budget.  He 
asked  that  everyone  pay  closer  atten- 
tion to  the  budget  in  the  future. 
The  Commission  adjourned  on  this

r,rOctober  discussed  the  merger  of 
irfiS  the  General  Conterence 

S^«  editor,  reported  that  the 

?ne  Tones  reports,  however,  that 
the  Youth  Department  doesn  t 

continue  as  he  has  editorially.  But 
Jones  did  point  out  as  m  any  other 
marriage,  there  would  be  some  sacn- 
tlce  of  independence.  Jones  went  on 
to  say  that  even  if  Insight  did  mciease 
Aeir  circulation  to  55,000  (the  num- 
ber needed  to  break  even)  there  would 
be  no  reason  why  they  would  not 
want  to  go  ahead  with  the  merger. 
t4ftns  working  plans  to  offer 
subscriptions  to  college  students  at 
a  reduced  rate  for  nine  months    Jones 
said  that  he  hopes  that  they  wdl  be 

able  to  offer  these  for  either  $5.95 

"  He  said  that  they  would  be  able 
to  reduce  all  of  the  subscription 
rates,if  they  can, to  get  more  adver- 
tising. Insight  is  also  going  ahead 
with  plans  of  having  three  monthly 


48-page  issues  during  this  coming 
summer.       ,  ,      ,,         .,  .     . 
Jones  said  that  ii  something  is 
not  done  to  alleviate  the  current  finan- 
cial dilemma.  Insight  might  be  forced 
into  bi-veekly  publication.  There  is 
strong  feelings  among  many  of  the 
readers  against  such  a  move  according 
to  Jones. 

The  Accen  t  asked  Jones  if  the 
financial  problems  have  put  pressure 
upon  him  to  take  a  more  moderate 
editoral  stand  in  order  to  increase 
tlteir  circulation.  He  replied  by 
saying  that  they  are  trying  to  stay 
close  to  the  Lord.  This  is  how  he 
sees  the  role  of  the  editor.  He 
stated  that  Insight  is  attempting  to 
be  "more  Christ-centered  than 
issue  centered,  but  dealing  with  the 
important  issues."  He  sighted  the 
abortion  issue  which  Insight  will  be 
dealing  with.  Jones  went  on  to  say 
that  if  due  to  pressure  he  was  unable 
to  deal  with  the  important  issues  as 
he  felt  best  he  would  just  step  out 
and  move  on  to  other  pursuits,

Last  Tuesday,  the  SMC  campus  was 
visited  by  10  men  from  the  Chattanooga 
Gideonite  camp.  According  to  one  of  the 
men,  Mr.  Preson  Phillips,  Sr.,  SMC  was 
their  last  step  on  a  tour  of  all  Chattanooga 
area  colleges. 

The  Gideonites  are  an  inter-denomina- 
tional group  whose  purpose  is  to  put  a 
Bible  into  the  hands  of  every  person  they 
possibly  can.  While  at  SMC,  approximately 
800  New  Testaments  were  distributed  to 


the  students.  When  computed  at  $.60  a- 
piece,  the  total  cost  comes  to  $480.00. 
The  funds  for  supporting  such  acitivites 
as  this  are  solicited  from  different  churches 
annually  by  the  individual  Gideonites. 

In  the  past,  the  Gideonites  have  con- 
centrated mainly  on  elementary  grades, 
1-5,  hospitals,  jails,  and  motels,  giving  away 
about  20  million  Bibles.  But  this  year,  as 
Mr.  Phillips  said,  they  figured  it  "was  about 
time  they  started  working  on  the  colleges."

Dear  Editors: 

My  comment  is  in  reference  to  a  letter  in 
the  Accent  of  this  past  week.  Although  I  am 
not  acquainted  with  the  incident  to  which 
Yetta  Foote  referred,  1  would  like  to  apologize 
for  each  of  us  who,  without  thought,  "slur" 
our  friends,  classmates  or  teachers.  Though 
this  is  a  Christian  college,  we  are  not  perfect; 
and  hopefully  no  one  claims  to  be  such.  I 
once  saw  a  lapel  button  which,  ideally,  each 
of  us  would  be  wearing.  (To  spoil  the  secret 
for  its  owners,  interpreted  acronimicly,  its 
message  is  "Please  be  patient  God  is  not 
finished  with  me  yet.' ) 

Whether  we  realize  it  or  not,  insults  are 
selfish  in  orgin.  By  slurring  you,  I  either  sub- 
tract from  your  "altitude"  of  character  pres- 
tige, or  I  climb  upon  your  less  desirable  traits 
by  ridicule;  both  of  which  have  the  end  result 
of  increasing  my  self-prestige  in  relation  to 
yours.  Such  a  practice  shows  no  respect  for 
anyone,  as  we  fight  to  see  which  dog  swaUows 
the  next.  Worst  of  all  are  the  insults  related 


to  national,  ethno-racial  groups  or  those  dir- 
ected toward  physical  characteristics.  These 
are  odious.  Perhaps  each  of  us  should  ex- 
perience a  period  of  true  minority  status. 

Before  closing,  1  would  hke  to  thank 
Yetta  for  waking  us  from  a  slumbering  wald 
of  carelessness.  Sometimes  we  need  a  friend 
(someone  not  usually  heard  from)  to  bring 
to  light  those  times  when  we  are  less  than 
kind,  maybe  unthinking  or  even  prejudiced. 
One  sentence  struck  me,  in  particular;  to 
quote  "To  call  someone  (whether  or  not 
he  is  Jewish)  "A  Jew"  as  an  indictment  of 
his  frugality  is  to  use  profane  language." 
1  hope  I  remember  that  always.  Think  about 
it;  it  applys  to  every  man  on  this  earth  be  he 
Jew,  Negro,  Polock,  or  American  (if  you 
please). 

At  times,  I  too  have  made  reference  to 
Jews  as  "people  who  handle  money  well;" 
it  has  been  (though  sometimes  jokingly) 
from  admiration.  Then  again,  a  slap  in  the 
face  hurts  whether  from  friend  or  "foe." 

Wishing  a  better  "people  understand- 
ing" for  each  of  us.

out  with  Ken  Defoor,  Rick  Jacques, 
Ed  Jackson,  and  Roger  Bird  all  in 

double  figures  while  H^,«"^".^  ,,^

^Tn-^'-TeagueChnspens  and  Fowler 

are  still  tied  at  4  wins  and  no  loses. 
Fowler  won  easily  over  Weigley  last 
week,  dumping  them  66^0.  Chnspens 
had  a  little  harder  time  m  wmmng 
against  Davis.  The  big  scorer  for 
Oirispens,  Randy  Northington,  was 
injured  during  the  game  and  had  to 
leave  with  19  points.  This  gave  Davis 
a  chance  to  catch  up.  They  not  only 
caught  up  but  passed  Chrispens  at 
64-62  with  about  6  seconds  left  in 
the  game.  Steve  Welch  saved  the  game 
for  Chrispens  with  a  15  foot  shot  from 
the  right  side  to  tie  the  game  64-64  with 
1  second  left.  They  went  into  one  over- 
tjme  and  Chrispens  came  out  on  top 
70-66.  In  other  "B"  league  games, 
Jimenez  defeated  Davis  72-65  and 
Hayes  dumped  Brown  75-69. 

In  "C"  league  action  last  week.

off  for  awhile  until  with  49  seconds 
left  in  the  game  when  Mike  Schultz 
was  fouled  and  went  to  the  line  for  a 
chance  to  make  two  points  on  a  one 
and  one  attempt.  Schultz  hit  both 
free  throws  to  put  Talge  ahead  by 
six  points  again.  With  time  running 
out  the  Village  scored  their  last  2 
points  on  a  basket  by  Randy  Cockrell, 
Rick  Hale  was  fouled  with  25  seconds 
left  in  the  game  and  went  to  the  line 
to  score  the  games  last  two  points  on 
free-tluows,  giving  Talge  the  victory 
and  the  series.  Each  team  won  two 
times  with  the  Village  winning  the 
first  and  third  series,  and  Talge  the 
second  and  fourth. 

Rick  Hale  opened  the  third  game 
this  year  with  two  points  and  ended 
it  with  two  points,  but  Rick  also 
scored  28  more  points  in  the  game 
for  a  total  of  32  points.  Wlien  the 
going  got  tough  Rick  Hale  got  tougher 
as  he  dazzled  the  fans  with  his  aerial 
bombardments.  Last  year  the  Village 
keyed  on  Rick  in  the  third  game  and 
thus  kept  his  scoring  down.  Thisyeai 
the  Vaiage  stuck  on  him  fairly  well 
but  Rick  stood  the  test  and  sunk 
baskets  from  twenty  feet  just  the 
same.  Of  course,  it  helps  to  have  a 
scoring  threat  in  the  person  of 
Warren  Halversen  on  your  team  to 
help  ease  off  some  of  the  pressure.  . 
In  the  third  game  Rick  scored  on  13 
out  of  1 7  shots  fiom  the  field  for  a 
sizzling  76.5%  and  sunk  6  for  7  free 
throws  for  85.7%.  In  the  three  game 
series  Rick  scored  27  for  39  fiom  the 
field  for  about  69.2%  and  dumped 
6  out  of  9  from  the  fiee-throw  line 
for  67%    Rick  Hale  is  an  all  around 
athlete  and  a  fine  gentleman  giving 
Talge  the  punch  they  needed  to  bring 
them  through  to  victory,  thus  it  is 
with  great  admiration  and  pleasure  to

Beards  voted  down  as 
Faculty  Senate 
deadend  issue 
in  12-1 2  tie 


A  move  to  abolish  the  no-beards 
policy  for  SMC  students  was  killed 
Monday  atternoon  in  a  split  vote  of  the 
Faculty  Senate.  A  secret  ballot,  taken 
after  considerable  discussion  of  the  issue 
showed  1 2  for  and  1 2  against  the- meas- 
ure and  one  abstaining.  A  majority 
approval  is  required  for  passage,  so  the 
status  quo  will  remain  and  beards 
will  not  be  permitted  at  SMC  next 
year. 

Senators  who  were  in  favor  of  the 
beards  generally  agreed  that  it  is  no 
longer  a  detriment  for  a  man  to  be 
seen  wearing  a  beard.  However,  Senators 
who  opposed  the  beards  did  so  on  the 
grounds  that  the  conservative  South  is 
still  generally  opposed  to  this  type  of 
dress  on  men.  They  contended  that 
it  would  not  be  advantageous  for  SMC 
to  allow  such,  because  SMC's  ability  to 
influence  the  public  toward  Christian 
objectives  would  be  impaired. 

In  other  action,  the  Senate  heard  a 
report  from  the  Student  Affairs 
Committee  dealing  with  the  calendar 
for  1974-75  and  the  student  hand- 
book   It  was  voted  to  let  Thanksgiving 


vacation  remain  on  the  calendar,  in  spite 
of  recent  proposals  to  eliminate  it  in 
favor  of  a  longer  Christmas  break  to 
reduce  traveling. 

Discussion  was  given  to  the  elimin- 
ation of  exam  week  as  such.  Final 
exams  could  still  be  given  by  teachers 
individually,  but  they  would  be  given 
at  a  regular  class  meeting.  This  only 
means  that  teachers  would  no  longer 
be  required  to  give  final  semester  exams. 
No  vote  was  taken  on  the  issue. 

In  a  discussion  of  the  faculty  hand- 
book, it  was  voted  to  approve  a  change 
in  the  Senate  constitution  dealing  with 
the  appeal  procedures  concerning  actions 
taken  by  the  Senate. 

The  old  version  of  the  section  m 
question  read:  "Petitions  delivered  to  the 
President  later  than  four  school  weeks  fol- 
lowing the  date  of  the  Senate  action  will 
not  be  considered."  The  new  version 
reads:  "The  intention  to  circulate  a  peti- 
tion must  be  signified  in  writing  to  the 
President  within  two  weeks  of  the  date 
of  the  Senate  action  and  the  signed  peti- 
tion must  be  delivered  to  the  President 
I  within  four  weeks  of  this  date.

"aged  in  premartial  intercourse  mmS. 
In  1 968,  statictics  showed  36.5%  and 
n  4%  fir  males  and  females  respective- 

^ndferiale  respectively  had  engaged  in 
premartial  intercourse. 


As  religiosity  is  related  to  morality, 
Heltsley  and  Broderick  (1969)  found 
that  for  white  students  higli  religiosity 
tended  to  be  negatively  related  to  sex- 
ual permissiveness  but  not  with  Negro 
students.  Ehrmann  (1964)  found  that 
'religious  affiliation  was  not  related  to 
sexual  permissiveness,  but  religiosity  was. 
For  whites,  Re.ss  (1967)  found  low  church 
attendance  tended  to  be  associated  with 
high  sexual  permissiveness  for  both  men 
andv^omen.  In  a  separate  study,  Scho- 
field  corborated  these  findings. 

From  IriaReiss  1967  study  of  col- 
lege students  a  chart  is  presented  on 
the  level  of  intimacy  in  the  different 
relationships.

KcCn  this  Valentine  Day,  let  us  de- 
clare an  immediate  moratorium  on  all 
cup  dtty.  Let  there  be  no  errant  arrows 
Xing  cardiac  arrest  in  the  opposite 
hmender.  And  to  this  end  1  recom- 
mend the  foUowing  four  steps  as  a  sure 
™ure  for  Valentinitus,  a  highly  commun- 
icable  social  disease  thriving  on  soft 
winter  liglit,  long  winter  nights,  and 
heavy  winter  sighs. 
Presaiption: 

'1)  Merely  tHink  of  Feb.  1 4  as  you 
would  any  other  day.  Encourage  your 
teachers  to  give  tests  on  that  day  it  at 
Si  possible.'^lfthat  fails,  try  to  turn  your 

mind  to  mathematics,  waking  such 
engrossing  formulas  as  SIQK-  (JJ  -  y  i  - 
2orMed.  =  L  +  N/2-F^fm 

2)  Since  Valentinitus  tends  to  progress 
rapidly  on  weU-groomed  bodies,  let  your 
hair  go  for  once.  Weai2csterday_s20ck^ 


Leave  off  shaving  for  a  day.  The  more  I 
daring  among  you  could  even  act  as  if 
you've  ms.  placed  your  toothbrush.  Vj 
might  even  win  some  plaque  for  it! 

3)  For  added  protection  move  abo™ 
only  in  crowds,  particularly  noisy  onal 
Get  severalguys  (oops!)  malepersons  i' 
the  group  to  point  occasionally  at  sevi,, 
ms.es  and  keel  over  laughing.  Nevei,|  I 
repeat,  NEVER  let  yourself  be  cut  fioJ 
the  herd  by  some  skirt-wearing  cowpdl 
son  darting  about  with  a  pinto  oritmsj 
After  all,  an  aspiring  maverick  lil(e  yoil 
should  shun  horseplay  on  this  day  aboil 
all  others.  And  if  you  do  get  cauglit,J 
go  blaming  it  on  some  fanciful  AmeriJ 
gremlin.  It's  not  April  Fuel's  Day  yd 
you  know! 

4)  Last  and  least,  go  directly  toy.. 
dorm  at  sunset,  do  not  pass  goils,  do  it 
collect  200  trading  stamps.  Wheiiin)i|

Afterward,  spend  the  rest  of  the  eveiiL 
watching  your  male  guppies  turn  red,  ] 


Advice  from  a  Liberated  Valentine 

No  longer  toil  on  land  and  sea 
For  candied  sweets  that  fatten, 

But  circumvent  so  logically 

The  ring  you've  thrown  no  hat  in. 

When  hearts  entwine  along  the  vine, 
When  fingers  clasp  each  other, 

Leave  off  your  sighs  of  latent  spring 
And  race  for  home  and  mother! 

Let  not  Love's  arrows  Hay  your  heinl 
Let  not  his  wiles  delay  you, 

For  if  you  linger  at  her  side 
Her  perfume  shall  waylay  yoii. 

O  Scatter  ye  thistles  while  ye  may, 
Thougli  Time  would  have  you  lii 

For  prickles  spring  from  thistles  smill 
And  springing  prickles  marry.     I 


1  ask  the  question:  How  many  of  you  have  ever 
heard  a  serm'on  on  sex7  1  have  never  and  havmg  been 
Tregular  SDA  church  attendance  aU  my  Me  1  be- 
"eve  this  to  have  caused  irrepairable  damage  to  the 
comtituents  of  the  church  with  the  truth.  How  many 
LSals  during  their  Mf  "je  -"rpora^^e  sexu^ 
activity  into  their  day  to  day  life  style?  We  preach 
about  such  human  behavior  as  love,  companion  hate, 
war,  and  man's  inhumanity  to  man  m  efforts  ot 
making  man  a  better  person.  Tlien  why  do  we  hide 
sex  in  a  closet  like  we  hide  our  sins,  leaving  mil- 
lions afflicted  with  sexual  hang-ups,  and  why  do 
respond  to  revelations  of  promiscuity  with  mdigna- 
tion  and  abhorance,  in  further  efforts  of  stifling 
complex  human  emotions?  Can  man  deal  with  his 
psychological  and  physiological  self  repeating  the 
five  words:  "Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultry .' 
Do  our  criticisms  stem  from  ignorance  or  a  lack 
of  understanding?  It  should  be  our  goal  to  understand 
and  deal  with  all  ot  man's  behavior  rather  than 
remaining  fixated  at  a  present  level  of  inadaquate 
dealings  with  our  God  given  sexual  natures.

I  Ttuhe  views  set  forth  are  mine 
r     and  do  not  necessarily  reflect 
r°Ky  of  my  faculty  colleagues.

February  1 3 ,  1 974  The  Southern  Accent 


VIEWPOINT 

Two  sides  on  the 
allowance 
of  beards  at  SAAC 


..le proposed  revision  of  the  1974-75 
Ijent  Handbook  reads,  "Beards, 
llaches,  and  sideburns  should  be  trim- 

waiid  well  groomed."  I  voted  for 


approval  of  this  change  for  the  following 
reasons. 

1)  I  believe  the  "Well  groomed"  beard 
has  lost  its  connotation  as  being  a  symbol 
of  revolt  against  society.  (Please  note  the 
key  words  "well  groomed"  which  should 
always  be  the  goal  of  the  Christian.)   Be- 
cause of  this,  i  think  the  men  vs.  faculty 
impasse  should  be  resolved  by  placing 
confidence  and  responsibility  in  the 
men,  thus  relieving  a  long  standing  ten- 
sion on  this  campus. 

2)  Because  of  my  recent  visits  to 
several  campuses,  1  believe  that  once 
the  initial  freedom  wears  off,  beards  wiU 
probably  be  worn  by  fewer  than  five  per 
cent  of  the  men  on  campus.  Certain  nat- 
ural limiting  factors  are  in  operation  such 
as:  inability  to  grow  a  good  looking  beard 
opinions  of  sweethearts  and  wives. 

3)  Further,  1  believe  that  our  men 
should  be  taught  there  are  situations 
in  which  a  beard  is  not  appropriate, 
student  teaching  and  the  ministry  are 
two  current  examples. 

4)  Finally,  I  firmly  believe  that 
the  vast  majority  of  our  men  would 
accept  this  new  freedom  with  respon- 
sibility and  that  those  boys  who  did 
not  should  be  dealt  with  accordingly. 


In  Second 
Thought 


irindsome  points  Dennis  Burke  made  in  his 
lasl  week  in  need  of  some  kind  of  an- 
l  agree  with  him  that  it  is  a  real  shame 
It  money  is  going  simply  to  support 
an^syslem. 

:m'I  produce  documentation  that  the 
'System  solves  all  the  problems  young 
itiringon  themselves,  but  neither  have 
'Jd  a  practical  idea  that  had  promise  of 
ibetter.  A  considerable  number  of  the 
IE  dorms  are  really  decent  citizens,  and 
'pin  their  number  would  surely  put  deans

The  aphorism,  "an  ounce  of  preven- 
ition  is  worth  a  pound  of  cure"  is  apropos 
regarding  the  discussion  of  the  beard 
iquestion  which  is  frequently  agitated  on 
the  campus  of  SMC.  Although  the 
beard,  per  se,  is  amoral,  there  are  other 
considerations  which  may  warrant 
declaring  a  beard  genocide  among  our 
male  students  capable  of  raising  enough 
fuzz  to  be  labeled  a  beard. 

By-passing  the  unsightliness  of  the 
first  two  to  seven  days  of  planting  and 
cultivating  the  embryonic  beard,  1  come 
to  what  in  my  estimation  is  the  main  con- 
sideration for  refusing  to  give  it  welcome 
acceptance  at  our  school;  namely,  the 
difficulty  of  controlling  those  who  are 
unwilling  to  cooperate  with  the  regula- 
tion "clean  and  neatly  trimmed."  Allow- 
ing for  the  fact  that  many  will  cooperate, 
there  will  always  be  those  who  "given  an 
linch  will  take  a  mile."  This  statement 
may  appear  to  sound  like  an  unfair,  un- 
grounded, negative  value  judgment; 
however,  it  is  founded  upon  empirical 
evidence  relating  to  singular  problems. 

Last  year  the  students  were  given  the 
privilege  of  having  their  hair  lengthened 
to  the  top  of  the  coat  collar,  with  the 
request  that  the  hair  be  kept  clean  and 
neatly  groomed.  At  the  same  time,  pant- 
suits  were  permitted  to  be  worn  on  campus 
at  specified  times.  The  student  hand- 
book specifically  negated  the  wearing  of 
tight  jeans  and  blouses  and  indicated  that 
no  pantsuit  should  be  worn  to  classes. 

However,  observation  has  revealed  the 
violation  of  both  these  privUeges.  Such 
infractions  create  sticky  problems  which 
few  desire  to  contend  with.  If  we  have 
found  it  difficult  to  control  and  regulate 
the  hair,  the  dress  and  the  pantsuits,  why 
should  another  door  be  opened  to  invite 
chaos  and  confusion?  Who  will  apply  for 
the  thankless  job  of  enforcing  this  regu- 
laUjjjJ^^^^B^K^^B^^^^^^ 

Give  lia  iNudt 

Dear  Editors: 

1  would  like  very  much  to  respond  to  a 
letter  regarding  pantsuits  in  last  weeks 
US   One  statement  Uiat  particularly 
caught  my  attention  was  that  a  woman 
loses  her  femininity  when  she  wearsjeans. 

Femininity  is  a  quality  of  a  Person  no^ 
someting  that  can  be  worn  or  ^''^^' 
by  the  clothes  a  person  wears.  A  woman 
who  has  this  femirane  quality  can  rest 
Assured  that  a  man  will  observe  this  whe- 
ther she  wears  a  pantsuit,  jeans,  or  a 
Sess   Just  as  some  men  are  not  mascu- 
Une  so  some  women  are  not  feminine. 

There  are  very  few  women  who  can  t  be 
distSiS  as  such  when  wearing  pants.  And 
if  a  woman  wearing  pants  or  even  jeans 
ivere  to  sit  down  buride  r 


-Douglas  Bennett 

It  appears  to  me  that  this  school  has 
the  right,  within  reasonable  limits,  to 
control  the  appearance  of  its  students 
by  handbook  regulation,  even  as  some 
businesses  and  other  organizations  place 
limitations  upon  the  personnel  associated 
with  them,  and  still  not  be  labeled  legal- 
istic. This  institution  has  the  right  to 
prevent  its  students  from  casting  a  shab- 
by image  before  one  another  and  others 
who  might  frequent  this  campus. 

To  say  that  the  infractors  will  be 
few  and  easy  to  control  is  to  prag- 
matically deny  the  inability  to  control 
the  problems  in  the  other  related  areas. 
Until  the  previous  regulations  are  adhered 
to  1  believe  it  would  be  unreasonable  to 
capitulate  in  another  area.  Such  a  pro- 
cedure is  neither  sound  parental  practice 
iior  good  pedagogy.  To  suggest  that  this 
problem  can  be  handled  by  a  student 
governing  committee  is  to  fail  to  face  up 
to  the  facts.  First,  students,  no  more 
than  faculty,  will  be  standing  in  line 
applying  for  the  job;  and  secondly, 
student  infractors  will  probably  not  lis- 
ten to  their  peers  any  more  than  they 
listen  to  their  faculty.  Why  should  they? 

A  secondary  reason  for  being  less 
than  enthusiastic  toward  the  advent  of 
the  beard  is  due  to  the  attitude  still 
held  by  some  members  in  SDA  churches 
and  other  churches  concerning  the  beard. 
SMC  sends  student  representatives  to 
various  churches  throughout  the  Southern 
Union,  and  some  of  the  people  in  these 
churches  expect  our  students  to  look 
nicely  groomed.  It  may  be  we  would 
be  antagonizing  some  folk  unneces- 
sarily. However,  this  is  not  my  primary 
objection  m  this  article.  My  contention 
is  not  with  the  beard,  but  with  the  ex- 
cesses of  the  beard,  and  with  the  mabil- 
ity  to  adequately  regulate  these  abuses. 


doubt  very  seriously  that  1  would  spend 
my  time  worrying  about  someting  as  ab- 
surd as  her  pants  threatening  my  mascu- 
linity. ,  , 

You'U  fmd  that  most  coUege  age  males 
won't  complain  if  their  female  counter- 
parts come  to  class  in  pants.  And  believe 
It  or  not  those  that  are  true  gendemen  will 
treat  you  like  the  lady  diat  you  are  no  mat- 
ter what  you  wear. 

Men  seem  to  be  able  to  attend  classes 
dressed  rather  sloppUy,  unshaved,  and  look- 
ing as  if  they  woke  up  Ave  minutes  betore 
they  entered  the  classroom.  Vet  these  men 
are  generally  considered  to  be  masculine  by 
the  opposite  sex  no  matter  how  they  dress. 
Sloppiness,  hopefully,  is  not  a  trait  connected 
to  the  Victorian  view  of  a  woman,  one 
sitting  primarily  in  a  chait,knees  covered,  hands

I      The  ninth  regular  Student  Association 
Senate  meeting  was  caUed  to  order  at 
7-30  Monday  night  by  Parlimentanan 

[Stew:  Jones.  After  a  devotional  by 
Beckv  CoUver,  the  senators  began  dis- 

I  cussion  of  the  items  on  the  agenda. 


Debbie  Lintner  was  voted  a  seat  on 
the  Faculty  senate  and  Gerry  Brown  will 
I  take  Bob  Zima's  place.  This  will  give  an 
[  even  ratio  of  one  male  member  to  one 
I  female  and  one  village  student  to  one 
I  dormitory  resident. 


The  senators  were  informed  by  Senate 
I  Chairman  Bob  Zima  that  the  allowing 
of  beards  was  voted  down  automatically 
by  a  12-12  tie  in  the  Faculty  Senate.  The 
results  of  the  poll  taken  in  the  last    S.  A. 
chapel  were  given  as  follows: 
!      1)  With  the  understanding  that  only 
a  few  are  likely  to  have  beards,  do  you 
j    approve  of  allowing  men  to  have  the 
option  whether  or  not  to  wear  beards  stip- 
ulating that  they  be  neatly  groomed? 

476-yes  104-no 

2)  Do  you  approve  of  women  wearing 
pantsuits  (not  jeans)  to  classes  and  other 
school-sponsored  activities,  excluding 
religious  events? 

468-yes  114-no 

3)  Do  you  approve  of  establishing  a 
student  governing  committee  to  enforce 
the  dress  policy? 

436-yes  128-no 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  pantsuits  are 
\    due  to  come  up  in  the  next  Faculty 


Senate  meeting,  it  was  moved  by  Julie  , 
Lamson  and  voted  in  unanimously  that  I 
each  of  the  senators  be  assigned  a  fac- 
ulty Senate  member  to  talk  with  con- 
cerning this  and  any  future  issues  com 
up  that  the  students  are  extremely  in. 
terested  in. 

Judy  Wade  presented  her  findings 
relating  to  the  games  in  the  Student 
Center.  Chess  and  checkers  wUl  not 
be  provided  but  students  who  wish 
to  bring  their  own  will  be  allowed  to 
do  so.  Rook  cards  will  nol  be  per- 
mitted and  any  such  cards  found  will 
be  removed  from  the  premises.  The 
request  for  a  pool  tabic  was  denied  bill  I 
the  aquisition  of  an  air  hockey  table  is  I 
being  looked  into.  Ms.  Wade  read  ^     " 
several  quotes  from  Ellen  G.  Wlutes 
books  on  which  Dean  Spears  and  his 
constituents  based  their  decision. 
The  movie  Fiddler  on  the  Root 
was  discussed  as  a  possibility  for  a 
SA  benefit  next  year  but  wil  not  be 
decided  on  until  later.  Finally.  IW 
senators  voted  to  extend  to  Renae 
Shultz  whatever  additional  funds  sM 
needed  for  the  upcoming  Talent  Sho«  I

ir  Editors'. 

1  would  like  to  venture  to  add  a  footnote  to 
_..  issue  raised  in  last  week's  editorial  concerning 
tiie  "Year-long  controversy  between  SMC  liberals 
and  conservatives"  as  Miss  Palmer,  a  persona' 
friend  of  mine,  so  aptly  put  it. 

First  of  all,  there  is  a  question  which  has  troublci 
intermittantly  for  quite  some  time  now,  and  1 
believe  it  demands  an  answer.  It  is  this:  Why, 
when  discussing  issues  even  remotely  related  to 
religion,  do  we  not  first  and  foremost  turn  to  the 
book  which  we  claim  to  be  the  authority? 
Rather  than  one  text  to  every  ten  opinions,  I 
inclined  to  beheve  it  would  be  better  the 
other  way  around  (of  course,  that  is  merely  an 
opinion).     There  is  really  very  little  the  Bible 
does  not  talk  about  (not  to  mention  certain 
other  writings,  some  37  times  the  volume  of 
the  Bible,  which  arc  believed  to  have  origiruitca 
from  the  same  Source). 

The  primary  issue  is  this:  Is  Christian  ignorance 
concerning  evil  ever  justified?  The  Bible  does  gjve  a 
way  definite  and  specific  answer  to  this  question. 
Paul  states  in  Romans  16: 19b  that  he  wished 
Christ's  followers  to  be  "wise  unto  that  which  is 
good,  and  simple  concerning  evil."  David  said 
"I  will  set  no  worthless  thing  before  my  eyes.  .  . . 
I  wiU  know  no  evil."  (Ps.  101 :3-4.  NASB)  and 
"Turn  away  my  eyes  from  beholding  vanity." 
(Ps.  119:37).  Perhaps  the  must  unsetUing  text 
subject  islsa.  33;15b&  16a:  "He... 
tppeth  his  ears  from  hearing  of  blood, 
and  shultcth  his  eyes  from  seeing  evil;  he  shall 


dwell  on  high."  Mrs.  White  adds: 

"Those  who  have  that  wisdom  which 
is  from  God  must  become  fools  in  the 
sinful  knowledge  of  this  age.  They  should 
shut  their  eyes,  that  they  may  see  and 
learn  no  evil.  They  should  close  their 
ears,  lest  they  hear  that  which  is  evil,  and 
obtain  a  knowledge  which  would  stain  their 
purity  of  thoughts  and  acts." 

Adventist  Home,  p.  404. 

Now  why  is  this  so?  It  is  because  of  the 
'by  beholding"  principle,  the  potency  of  which 
is  hardly  appreciated  among  Adventists  in  Gen- 
eral. We  inevitably  become  assimilated,  some 

)re,  some  less,  to  the  likeness  of  that  to  which 

!  expose  ourselves.  This  is  not  a  probability, 

is  a  law.  Mrs.  White  explains: 

"By  beholding  we  become  changed. 
By. the  indulgence  of  impure  thoughts, 
man  can  so  educate  his  mind  that  the 
sin  which  he  once  loathed  will  become 
pleasant  to  him."  Testimonies,  v.  2,  p.  459. 

"We  hear  and  read  so  much  of  debasing 
crime  and  vileness  that  the  once-tender 
conscience  which  would  have  recoiled 
with  horror  becomes  so  blunted  that  it 
can  dwell  upon  the  low  and  vile  sayings 
and  actions  of  men  with  greedy  pleasure." 

Testimonies,  v.  3,  p.  472.

Dr.  Pace  teaches,  and  is  in  charge  of 
piano  instruction  at  Teacher's  College, 
Columbia  University— a  position  he  has 
filled  for  22  years.  Since  1963  he  has 
been  the  educational  director  of  the 
National  Piano  Foundation. 

The  piano  seminar  has  attracted  ap- 
proximately 30  music  teachers  from  the 
area  and  piano  or  organ  majors  at  SMC. 
Any  others  who  may  be  interested,  in- 
cluding those  from  the  community  are 
invited  to  attend  also. 

According  to  Mrs.  Bruce  Ashton,  who 
has  attended  a  seminar  by  Dr.  Pace 
previously.  Dr.  Pace  is  renowned  and 
unique  in  his  approach  to  piano  instruc- 
tion in  that  he  teaches  in  groups  of  two  to 
four  instead  of  the  up-to-now  common 
practice  of  teaching  private  individuals. 
In  addition  to  this,  he  has  pioneered

Does  a  small,  irregularly-shaped  room, 
dimly  lit  by  lightbulb  candles,  with  a 
ceiling  draped  with  burlap  and  old,  worn 
lumber  covering  the  walls  and  floor  sound 
pretty  dismal?  The  Yellow  Deli  is  far 
from  dismal,  for  it  is  occupied  by  the 
Light  Brigade,  a  non-denominational  youth 
witness  team,  and  serves  the  "fruits  of 
the  Spirit." 

A  group  of  about  30  young  people, 
led  by  Gene  and  Marsha  Spriggs,  opened 
the  Deli  in  March  of  1972  after  four  _ 
months  of  prayer  and  hard  work.  It's 
main  purpose  is  to  support  the  activitres 
and  members  of  the  Liglit  Brigade  by  the 
sale  of  food  and  drinks,  and  serve  as  a 
common  meeting  place  for  all  Christians. 
Aside  from  the  religious  posters  and  music 
and  casual  remarks  by  the  "employees, 
there  is  no  witnessing  program  as  such. 
But  let  it  not  be  said  that  the  Light 
Briaade  does  not  witness! 

The  money  brought  in  at  the  Deli.goes 
to  support,  among  other  things,  the 
two  houses  where  the  members  reside. 
Located  at  861  Vine  is  the  Vine  House 
("1  am  the  Vine,  you  are  the  branches  ), 
where  20  single  young  men  live  and  hold 
public  Bible  classes  on  Tuesday  and 
Thursday  evenings  from  7:30-10:30  and 

Saturday  at  9:00  am.

single  girls  live.  According  to  Rick  Ken- 
drick,  a  member  of  the  Brigade,  these 
houses  are  primarily  centers  of  learning, 
preparing  them  for  witnessing  on  the 
streets,  at  concerts,  and  other  places. 

The  main  project  of  the  Liglil  Brigade 
is  a  monthly  paper,  the  Freepaper.  A 
potpourri  ofvarious  religious  activities, 
Freepaper  is  distributed  free,  mainly  on 
the  streets.  The  press  is  supported  only 
by  income  from  the  Deli  and  is  mn  by 
the  Brigade,  whose  members  hold  no 
other  secular  jobs  but  also  depend  on 
the  Deli. 

The  witnessing  team  has  traveled 
throughout  Tennessee  and  the  Southeast, 
helping  other  similar  groups,  and  delis 
get  on  their  feet.  So  far,  small  groups  have 
begun  at  Oriando,  Fla.,  and  Rockwood 
and  Bristol,  Tenn.  Individually,  the 
members  make  an  opportunity  to 
witness  by  walking  a  mile  once  a  week 
to  some  part  of  the  city,  distributing 
Freepapers  and  telling  of  their  faith  as 
they  go. 

The  Riviera  Theatre  has  opened  up 
a  new  opportunity  for  the  Brigade.  After 
being  forced  to  close  because  of  its  X- 
rated  entertainment,  the  dieatre  is  being 
purchased  by  the  Brigade.  They  hope  to 
convert  it  into  a  Christian  Art  Center  to 
house  various  religious  movies  and  plays.

Chief  Douelas  E.  Keller  announces  the 
formation  of  "the  Special  Services  Divisicm 
of  the  CoUegedale  Police  Department.  The 
Division  will  comprise  the  Pohce  Commun- 
ity Relations  Bureau,  commanded  by  Sgt. 
Bill  Sue.  with  officers  Ken  FuUer,  Stan 
Owens,  and  Ron  Ennis. 

The  duties  of  this  division  wiU  be  the 
responsibiUty  of  the  above  four  men  now 
assigned  to  work  with  the  people  of  the 
corSnunity  by  informing  the  citizens  as 
to  what  the  PoUce  Department  and  its 
personnel  are  doing. 

They  will  give  lectures  to  the  elemen- 
tary schools,  high  schools,  and  coUege 
students  on  various  subjects  which  wJl 
include  bicycle  safety,  traffic  control, 
drug  abuse,  juvenile  delinquency,  and 
related  subjects  in  crime  and  accident 

'"*^"*i°men  were  carefully  considered 
I  for  this  assignment  by  their  past  perfor- 


mance, and  concern  for  oui  citizens  and 
teen-agers  of  our  city,  as  weU  as  their 
individual  training  in  the  PoUce  Service 
prior  to  being  appointed  by  Chief  KeUer. 
They  will  also  serve,  in  certain  cases,  as 
counselors  through  the  "Youth  Services 
Bureau,"  for  both  the  parents  and  the 
juvenile,  by  stressing  crime  prevention, 
accident  prevention,  and  drug  abuse. 

The  primary  objective  of  this  division 
is  to  assist  young  adults  and  parents 
whenever  needed.  They  will  give  pro- 
grams to  churches,  civic  groups,  and  any 
interested  organizations  upon  request. 
Chief  Keller  has  been  informed  that 
the  Special  Services  Division  is  one  of 
the  first  to  be  serving  in  this  distnct    I  he

Daniell's  Hall  terminals  linked  to| 
computer  center  by  new  ditch 


Dr.  Ray  Hefferlin 

represents  SAAC  at 

American  Physical  Society 

meeting 


Di.  Ray  Hefferlin,  head  of  SMC's 
Physics  Department,  recently  returned 
from  a  four  day  meeting  of  the  Ameri- 
can Physical  Society  in  Chicago.  From 
Feb.  4-7  four  or  five  thousand  physicists 
I  from  all  over  the  United  States  met  in 
the  Palmer  House  Hotel  to  present  the 
results  of  their  research  and  to  deliver 
review  papers  on  various  topics. 

Dr.  Hefferlin  spent  most  of  his  time 
with  the  American  Association  of  Physics 
teachers,  one  of  the  four  or  five  sections 
that  were  forced  to  meet  simultaneously 
because  of  the  enormous  amount  of  ma- 
terial to  be  presented.  New  physics  and 
science  education  films  were  ■  shown 
most  of  Monday ,  Tuesday ,  and  Wednes- 
day, and  an  area  about  the  size  of  one 
floor  in  the  Student  Center  housed  dis- 
plays of  equipment  and  books  from  man 
ufacturers  and  publishers. 

The  energy  crisis  was  an  area  of  prime 
importance.  One  review  paper,  for  in- 
stance, showed  that  the  National  Science 
Foundation  has  a  planned  expenditure 
of  S50  million  on  solar  energy  next  year 
compared  with  a  S200,000  output  only 
two  years  ago.  "But  it  will  be  many 
years,"  says  Dr.  Hefferlin,  "before  the^e 
various  alternatives  become  financially 


and  practically  useful." 

The  physics  teachers  from  Adventist 
colleges-three  from  Andrews  University, 
two  from  Loma  Linda  University's  La 
Sierra  campus,  two  from  Pacific  Union 
CoUeee.  Dr.  Hefferhn,  and  one  from 
Walla  WalJa  College-had  lunch  together 
daily  and  discussed  topics  of  mutual 
interest,  such  as  improvement  of  the 
inter-collegiate  newsletter  among  physiCL 
teachers  and  education  of  pre-engineering 
students. 

Dr.  Donald  Hull,  a  former  physics 
teacher  of  Walla  WallaCoUege,  demon- 
strated a  way  of  presenting  musical 
scales  mathmatically  by  writing  various 
signatures  on  the  surface  of  an  intertube. 
Several  participants  brought  computer 
terminals  and  connected  them  to  their 
computers  back  home  via  long  distance 
telephone  lines.  This  was  done  so  the 
teachers  could  operate  the  programs 
available  to  their  students  at  schools 
as  far  away  as  Irving,  California. 

The  highly  organized  placement 

service  at  the  meetings,  reports  Dr. 

Hefferlin,  shows  a  significant  decline 

from  last  year  in  the  number  of  people 

looking  for  jobs.  _i,^„y  gems 


The  tell-tale  trail  of  a  gigantic  mole? 
An  underground  escape  tunnel  from 
Ivery  in  the  classrooms?  If  not  these 
things,  then  exactly  what  is  the  Plirpose 
for  the  ditch  between  Darnells  Hall  and 
the  men's  cafeteria  entrance? 

Actually,  the  ditch  was  dug  for  the 
purpose  of  laying  direct  hardwinng 
ftom  the  computer  science  center  to 
computer  terminals  in  Darnells  Hall, 
which  is  to  inevitably  result  in  reduced 
costs  for  the  Computer  Science  Depart- 
ment and  greater  convenience  for  stu- 
l  dents  using  computer  terminals  in 
Daniells  Hall. 

In  order  to  understand  the  reason 
for  this,  one  must  basically  understand 
the  operative  procedures  for  SMC's 
computer  system.     For  communication 
away  from  the  computer  located  in 
the  basement  of  the  student  center, 
computer  terminals  are  used.     Connec- 
tion with  the  computer  from  the 
terminal  can  be  established  by  direct 
wiring  or  by  telephone,  the  system 
presently  employed. 

This  latter  connection  is  accomplished 
by  an  acoustic  coupler,  hooked  directly 
to  the  terminal,  which  changes  informa- 
tion into  acoustical  tones.     These  are 
picked  up  by  a  standard  telephone 


State  Farm  Insurance 


receiver  and  transmitted  to  a 
which  then  reconverts  the  tones  «lii 
information  can  be  read,  processed, 
and  returned  by  the  computer. 

In  order  to  establish  initial  com 
one  must  dial  the  computer's  numbii 
and  be  answered  by  the  automatic 
answering  device. 

It  can  be  easily  seen  where  cosli 
arise  in  this  process.     Acoustic  coup 
rental,  telephone  usage,  answering  *■ 
vice  and  data  set  costs  run  appiosif 
ly  $40-S45  per  month.     The  direct 
hook-up  system  eliminates  these  cr 
as  well  as  technical  problems  that 
encountered,  such  as  the  limited  i 
of  lines  available  to  the  computet 
Also    as  Robert  McCurdy  of  tlie 
Computer  Science  Department  expi 
if  for  some  reason  the  power  wen 
a  student  would  lose  all  P'«'°f  j, 
and  have  to  re-establish  contact* 
the  computer  when  using  the   eiep 
connection,  whereas  there  would  M 
effect  fiom  the  temporary  loss 
power  using  direct  hardwiring- 

It  is  estimated  that  tlte  tota^  ^ 
afion  cost  of  the  hardwiring  wi""  I 
approximately  $1,000  and  tha*' 
change  will  pay  for  itself  by  cost  | 
elimination  in  less  than  a  year.

New  sound  system 
installed  in  gym 


Februdry  1 3,  1 974  The  Southern  Accent 


,  „ew  sound  system  was  recently 
iild  in  the  SMC  gymnasium  m  an 
■  '    I  10  eliminate  some  of  tlie  audio 
I'wenis  previously  encountered  with 
T  nid  systeni. 

Kl  former  system  with  its  two 
horns  didn't  produce  the  needed 
'lionability.     The  result,  unintelligi- 
made  the  many  and  varied  pro- 
s'presented  in  the  gym  less  than 
I",!  sound-wise. 

TTl'ie  new  svstem,  which  cost  $4,000, 
Liides  four  smaller,  more  directional 

new  amplifiers,  and  some  new 
liao'phones.    Also  utilized  in  the 
Isleni  is  an  acoustical  equalizer  that 


allows  the  higl,  and/or  low  frequencies 
that  bounce  too  much  and  cause  that 
muddy,  confusing  sound,  to  be  filtered 
out. 

Especially  useful  in  deciding  what 
components  to  use  was  an  acoustical 
analyzer  used  to  determine  exactly 
what  the  gym's  sound  problems  are. 

The  installation  began  a  week  ago 
and  will  soon  be  completed.  It  has 
had  to  proceed  slowly  due  to  the  many 
classes  and  recreational  programs  the 
gym  hosts.  The  system  is,  however, 
functional  now,  even  though  the  in- 
stallation isn't  completely  finished. 


Local  telephone  exchange  to 
take  action  if  phones  left 
off  hooks 


Thatcher    residents 
warm  up  to  new  sauna  bath 


Some  extension  phones  in  Thatcher 

■ill  may  soon  be  disconnected,  accord- 

I  Mr.  Bill  Martin,  controller  for 

ileplione  company,  in  the  wake  of 

[number  of  complaints  about  the  busy 

fically  in  the  evenings,  as 
liesnii  of  phones  being  left  off  the 
Mk. 


Whatever  the  reasons  for  this,  it  has 
Iwo-fold  effect.     First,  when  the 
.liver  is  off  the  hook  for  an  extended 
liod  of  time,  it  causes  the  machinery 

over- heat  to  a  high  temperature 
id  finally  burn  out.     This,  of  course, 

;ls  the  telephone  company  and  the 
islomer. 

Secondly,  there  is  the  problem  of 
inj  up  the  circuits.     In  an  extension 
filcm  such  as  the  one  in  use  at  SMC, 

;re  are  approximately   10  line-finders 

**********:******••** 


for  every  100  telephones.  So  when 
one  receiver  is  off  the  hook,  it  ties 
up   10%  of  the  out-going  hues. 

The  phone  company  is  planning  to 
take  steps  to  eliminate  this  problem. 
When  a  phone  is  put  out  of  order,  a 
light  goes  on  in  the  control  cabinet. 
If  the  service  man  checking  out  the 
disorder  finds  that  it  was  caused  by  a 
receiver  off  the  hook,  he  may  then 
disconnect  the  phone. 

To  have  the  phone  reconnected 
could  mean  a  service  charge  of  10  to 
30  dollars.     However,  it  is  the  wish 
of  the  phone  company  that  this 
problem  can  be  solved  by  the  coopera- 
tion of  the  individual  students  without 
any  action  taken  to  disconnect  the 
phones. 


After  many  long  weeks  of  anticipation 
by  the  residents  of  Thatcher  Hall,  and 
many  long  hours  of  voluntary  labor 
'generously  supplied  by  Elder  K.  R.  Davis, 
the  women's  dorm  finally  has  their  own 
sauna.  Formally  opened  on  Monday 
night,  January  28,  the  sauna,  which  is 
located  in  the  recreation  room,  has  al- 
ready been  used  a  great  deal  by  those 
seeking  relaxation  after  a  hard  day. 

The  total  cost  of  the  sauna  was 
$2,600,  but  only  half  of  it  is  bein^  paid 
this  year.  The  remaininghalf  goeson  the 


Girl's  Club  budget  for  next  year.  The 
actual  dry  heat  unit  worth  S600  was 
donated  to  the  Girl's  Club  by  a  company 
in  California  that  had  done  business  with 
Elder  Davis  previously. 

The  sauna  is  open  every  day  of  the 
week  from  8;00am.  to  1  l:C0pm.,with 
the  exception  of  Friday  night.  According 
to  one  regular  sauna  user,  "it's  packed 
every  night,  but  it's  a  grand  place  to  re- 
lax, talk,  and  get  to  meet  new  people." 
And  after  all,  isn't  that  what  Girl's  Club 
projects  are  all  about?

church. 

T        The  multi-screen  production  com- 
^   memorates  the  first  centennial  of 
]f   Seventh-day  Adventist  foreign  mission 

*  work.  It  celebrates  the  growth  of  the

*  man,  John  N.  Andrews,  and  liis  two 

*  children  to  a  "global  organization  oper- 

*  ating  in  523  languages." 

*  As  is  printed  in  the  schedules  given 

*  out  at  the  beginning  of  the  school  year, 
I  Rene  Noorbergen  was  to  have  spoken  on 
^  tongues  as  part  of  the  MV's  Mysteries  of 
n.  God  series.  .But,  according  to  Noorbergen 
D.  after  the  college  had  been  asked  by  both 

*  the  General  Conference  and  the  Southern 

*  Union  to  show  Adventists  Around  the 


World  that  evening,  he  relinquished  his 
privilege  to  speak  on  that  date. 

Adventists  Around  the  World  was 
created  by  the  producers  of  Mission  Spot- 
light. According  to  advertising  in  Southern 
Tidings  (Feb.,  1974)  the  production  will 
touch  the  work  of  the  church  on  every 
continent  of  Earth  and  present  stimulating 
reports  on  the  expansion  of  God's  work 
during  the  last  100  years.  It  is  to  emphasize 
people  and  their  stories. 

The  closing  sentence  of  an  advertising 
brochure  sums  up  the  purpose  of  the  pro- 
duction. It  is  to  show  how  "Churches, 
schools,  publishing  houses,  food  factories, 
hospitals,  clinics,  book  centers,  and  ad- 
ministrative offices  have  become  a  huge 
corporation  fulfilling  the  need  in  imple- 
menting the  gospel  commission."

starting  at  5:30.  All  games  are  played  ac- 
cording to  the  men's  rules  except  halves 
SK  16  minutes  long  instead  of  20  minutes. 

The  women's  league  organizers  hope 
to  see  more  participation  on  the  part  of 
the  women  in  future  sports.  Present 
participants  are  enjoying  the  exercise  and 
competition.

Dr.  Baker  is  no  cloistered  college  pro- 
fessor. For  decades  he  has  been  active  in 
community  affairs  on  the  local,  state,  and 
national  levels.  He  has  served  as  a  Chamber 
of  Commerce  president,  as  a  Post-Com- 
mander in  the  American  Legion,  as  a  Rot- 
ary Club  president,  as  a  chairman  of  a 
County  Grand  Jury,  and  on  county  and 
state  Central  Committees.  He  was  honored 
by  appointment  to  a  Commission  for  the 
Revision  of  the  State  Constitution.  Upon 
the  recommendation  of  ex-President  Her- 
bert Hoover,  Baker  was  named  by  Presi- 
dent Truman  to  the  "National  Commission 
for  the  Hoover  Report  on  the  Reorganiza- 
tion of  the  Executive  Branch  of  the  Federal 
Government."  In  1951,  at  the  height  of 
the  Korean  War,  the  Secretary  of  the  Navy 
sent  Baker  on  a  V.I.P.  tour  of  naval  instal- 
lations and  operations  in  the  Pacific.  Baker 
has  long  been  a  biographee  in  "Who's  Who 
in  America." 

Because  of  his  intense  interest  in  inter- 
national affairs  Dr.  Baker  has  travelled 
the  globe  for  forty  years  visiting  112 
countries  in  all,  many  of  the™  repeat««>'' 
For  example,  in  the  summer  of  1972,  tie 
toured  sub-equatorial  Africa.  In  summer 
1973  he  went  to  Denmark,  Sweden,  Nor- 
way, and  Finland.  Five  times  he  has  gone 
i  to  Soviet  Russia,  including  Siberia  and

Volume  29  dumber  20 

Wednesday,  February  20,  W  /4 


Tuesday,  a  week  ago,  five  secret  police  muscled  their  way 
into  Russian  author  Alexander  SoUhenilsyn's  (Sol-zhah-neetz- 
en)  Moscow  apartment  and  dragged  the  dissident  writer  away 
by  force.  Twenty-six  hours  later,  he  was  escorted  off  a  Soviet 
jetliner  by  eight  men  that  brought  him  involuntarily  to  West 
Germany.  ^  .. 

Our  first  reaction  to  this  type  of  banishment  is  one  ot  dis- 
gust. Communism  once  again  suffocates  a  voice  crying  tor 
freedom.  Can  there  ever  be  freedom  of  expression  in  the 
U.S.S.R.?  Will  the  Soviet  people  always  be  in  constant  fear 
of  subtle  or  direct  forms  of  punishment  or  of  being  labled  a 
subversive  for  offering  alternative  points  of  view? 

According  to  Morris  E.  Salisbury,  a  pulitzer  prize  winner 
for  international  reporting  from  Moscow  in  1955,  "the  prob- 
lem of  the  country  as  Solzhenitsyn  sees  it,  is  not  that  the 
body  of  her  laws  are  bad.  In  fact,  he  feels  they  are  generaUy 
as  good  as  those  in  most  European  countries.  But,  he  feels 
the  government  acts  with  complete  eccentricity.  The  criter- 
ia is  not  the  code  of  the  law  or  any  tradition  of  law.  The 
criteria  is  simply  the  self-interest  of  individual  officials  or 
the  presumed  interest  of  the  state." 

The  question  arises  did  Solzhenitsyn  wish  to  leave  his 
native  land  because  of  his  intolerance  for  the  U.S.S.R.  gov- 
ernmental machine?  It's  doubtful.  According  to  Associ- 
ated Press  reports.  "Solzhenitsyn,  a  veteran  of  many  years 
in  Stalin's  labor  camps  always  vowed  he  would  never  leave 
Russia  voluntarily  because  he  loved  his  native  soil  and  his 
fellow  kinsmen.  It  is  considered  unlikely  that  he  cringed 
at  the  threat  of  being  tried  for  high  treason." 

On  occasions  when  attempts  are  made  to  question  or 
change  the  status  quo,  a  recurring  defense  is  broughf  up. 
It  is  the  same  defense  heard  when  blacks  were  working  for 
equality  in  the  mid  sixties;  it  is  the  same  defense  heard 
against  Japanese- Americans  in  Worid  War  11;  and  it  is  the 
same  defense  the  Russians  put  into  effect  when  they  booted 
Solzhenitsyn  out  of  the  U.S.S.R.;  "if  he  (they)  doesn't  Uke 
the  way  things  are  here,  let  him  or  have  him  go  somewhere 
closer  to  his  liking." 

When  1  hear  this  attitude  expressed  1  feel  sad.  Here  is  an 
individual(s)  who  feels  his  thoughts,  his  wants,  his  attitudes 
are  far  superior  to  other  thoughts,  attitudes,  and  wants 
differing  from  his.  So.  without  Oying  to  understand  or  be 
openminded  he  flippantly  states  that  these  "subversive 
elements"  should  not  be  within  his  perception.  In  disrobing 
this  attitude,  we  find  a  basic  substance;  selfishness,  a  characterist- 
ic that  most  of  us  find  rather  distasteful.  "What  I  say.  What 
I  want.  What  1  do  is  most  important.  If  you  disagree  with 
me,  you  must  change  your  mind  or  risk  my  vengence  as  I 
exercise  my  power  over  you." 

The  reason  for  this  editorial  is  because  in  recent  weeks 
I've  heard  the  aforementioned  attitude  being  expressed  by 
certain  administiative  officials,  faculty  members  and  students 
alike, directing  their  remarks  to  those  who  hope  to  change 
the  current  rules  to  allow  for  the  wearing  of  beards  and 
pantsuits.  Ideally,  we  are  all  equal  on  this  campus,  I  have 
the  weapons  you  do  in  fighting  for  or  against  a  certain  issue 
in  the  proper  manner.  But,  to  simply  dismiss  my  judgments 
and  opinions  as  worthless  and  wish  that  I  were  somewhere 
else  has  the  markings  of  a  naiiow-minded,  uneducated  il- 
literate. 

If  I  condone  the  wearing  of  beards  and  pantsuits,  and 
if  I  work  vigorously  through  the  correct  channels  to  change 
the  existing  rules  on  these  two  items,  do  1  risk  the  chance 
of  being  alienated  by  my  professors  and  administrators 
and/or  branded  as  a  "subversive"  If  I  overUy  disagree  with 
forced  worship  attendance  do  1  risk  the  chance  of  seeing 
derogatory  remarks  concerning  my  future  recommendation 
papers?  The  hopeful  answer  i^o." 

At  the  expense  of  becoming  over-sentimental,  let  me  say 
that  I  love  SMC,  I  love  iu  buildings,  i  love  its  people.  I'll 
alvrays  remember  the  rich  fulfilling  experiences  and  relation- 
ships that  1  currently  am  having.  Just  like  Alexander  Sol- 
zhenitsyn, I  have  no  desire  to  leave  this  place,  but  I  refuse  to 
let  it  remain  in  a  lackadaisical  state  of  affairs.  New  ideas  and 
attitudes  will  always  pour  in;  some  will  be  rejected  and 
rightiy  so;  but  others  will  inevitably  be  incorporated.  I'll 
never  regret  coming  to  SMC  and  I  don't  think  my  children 
will  either.  '     *

Dear  Editors: 

The  lifestyle  which  the  writings  of  Ellen 
G.  White  set  forth  is  in  sharp  contrast  to 
that  of  the  majority  of  Adventists  today.  I 
should  know  because  I  am  an  Adventist  and 
mine  is  painfully  removed  from  that  ideal. 
In  the  different  areas  which  form  a  composite 
lifestyle  (recreation,  diet,  social  relations,  etc.) 
we  collectively  as  a  church  have  not  lived  that 
hght  wliich  the  Lord  h;.    in  His  love  given  us. 
The  Review  and  Herald  of  December  6,  1973, 
printed  a  very  important  article,  "An  Earnest 
Appeal  from  the  Annual  Council."  It  in  part, 
had  this  to  say:  "We  believe  that  the  return 
of  Jesus  has  been  long  delayed,  that  the  reasons 
for  the  delay  are  not  wrapped  in  mysteries, 
and  that  the  primary  consideration  before  the 
Seventh-day  Adventist  Church  is  to  reorder 


letters  to  the  editor 

its  priorities  is  individually  and  corporateiu  ' 
that  our  Lord's  return  may  be  hastened 
rcaUzing  that  as  a  body  the  church  is  stiji 
Laodicean  condition,  this  group  of  our  le 
listed  three  factors  which  has  made  it  "htT^ 
day  time"  for  130  years.  The  second  facml 
has  relevance  for  everyone.  Factor  2  "Le  ri  I 
ers  and  people  ate  in  some  ways  diso^edieJil 
to  divme  directives  (the  Bible  and  Spirit  of 
ftophecy),  both  in  personal  experience  an 
the  conduct  of  the  church's  commission  " 
Despite  the  negative  tone  of  that  statement  I 
we  know  that  there  is  a  way  out.  If  we  are 
m  deep  earnestness  about  knowing  and  livinnl 
the  will  of  God  in  our  lives  (the  Spirit  of  ^f 
Prophecy  included),  until  everything  else !».  I 
comes  relatively  unimportant,  our  hungeriiiE  I 
and  thirsting  after  righteousness  shall  be  fiiiedl 
All  the  while,  a  world  fOled  with  a  multitudel 
of  injustices  and  alternatives  attempt  to  drae  I 
us  away  from  this  goal.  The  Christian  life  is  I 
definately  a  "battle  and  a  march."  as  a  favonil 
author  of  mine  put  it.  r 

I'd  like  to  amplify  the  question  asked  by  I 
Tim  Crosby  in  last  week's  Accent.  Miy  is  it  I 
that  whenever  a  group  gets  together.  discussiJ 
a  matter  very  much  related  to  Christian  standi 
ards  and  principles,  there  is  either  a  gieal  si 
a  choked  uneasiness,  or  an  out  and  out  "Idoal 
caie!"  type  of  attitude  when  someone  suggesJ 
that  just  possibly  we  could  turn  to  the  SpiiiiT 
of  Prophecy  as  seen  in  Ellen  G.  White?  This  | 
should  make  us  face  the  question:  "Do  we  I 
lieveall  of  the  light,  or  don't  we?"  If  youu, 
in  the  affirmative,  the  question  then  is,  "Can| 
we  be  afraid  of  knowing  too  much  truth?" 

Dr.  Agatha  Trash  visited  our  campus  this  1 
past  week.  I  have  not  always  been  a  member  I

INDEPENDANT  BRANCHES 

S  A°k  th',,' ™  "'^'"/\e™ents  against  the 
i.A^  IS  that  many  of  these  branches  such 
as  the^ccenr,  the  annual,  and  the  M  V 
and  the  Student  Representatives,  seem  to 
be  operating  so  autonomously  and  indepen- 
dent  of  the  S.A.  that,for  all  practical  pur 
poses,their  only  tie  appears  to  be  that  of  a 
tinancial  appropriation:therefore  why  not 
abolish  the  S.A.  and  make  provisions  for 
these  branches  to  live  on.  Tome  this 
line  of  thought  is  very  analogous  to  expec- 
ting the  branch  of  a  tree  to  bloom  and 
grow  after  wacking  off  the  trunk,  or  better 
yet,  pulling  out  the  roots  of  the  tree.  The 
fact  that  some  of  these  branches  do  work 
independently  of  the  Administrative  body 
of  the  S.A.,  I  feel  is  good,  and  any  less 
independence  I  believe  would  only  serve 
as  an  infringement  on  their  own  creativity. 
But  this  is  not  to  say  that  because  they 
exercise  this  degree  of  independence  they 
are  or  should  be  any  less  an  integral  part 
of  the  S.A.  structure,  or  that  we  should 
abolish  the  body  to  which  they  owe  their 
existence. 

LEADERSHIP  OPPORTUNITV 

Recently  the  Senate  abolished  the  of- 
fice of  Recreations  Committee  Chairman. 
To  me  this  action  was  not  indicative  of  a 
failure  on  the  part  of  the  S.A.  structure 
to  provide  adequate  recreation  programs, 
but  rather  an  elimination  of  a  duplication 
of  duties  that  was  also  being  performed 
by  the  Boy's  and  Girl's  clubs.  This  action 
to  me  illustrates  the  S.A.'s  ability  to  adjust 
to  a  new  situation,  rather  than  any  incom- 
petence on  its  part  or  the  part  of  the  Rec- 
reation Director. 

The  S.A.  provides  a  wider  array  of  op- 
portunities  for  student  leadership  than 
does  any  other  institution  on  this  campus. 
And  not  only  is  this  to  be  an  opportunity 


To  tie  student  10  excercise  leadership, 
but  also  serves  as  an  educational  oppop 
tunity  affording  him  a  learning  experi- 
ence that  is  to  be  had  nowhere  else  on 
campus,except  through  the  S.A.  And 
of  course,  anywhere  that  a  learning  pro- 
cess IS  going  on  mistakes  and  bad  decis- 
ions will  be  made.  (No  inferring  that  the 
S.A.  officers  are  doing  a  bad  job-just  that 
the  possibdity  exists.)  I  think  that  all  too 
often  when  things  under  the  S  A  's  juris- 
diction don't  meet  with  our  approval,  we 
lend  to  point  to  the  S.A.  structure  as  the 
EUilly  source  that  failed,  rather  than  to 
ihe  most  likely  source  of  faUure,  we  the 
^tudents  (S.A.  officers  or  not),  who  iiave 
lailed  to  utilize  to  the  full  extent  the 
potentialities  offered  by  the  S.A. 

THE  STUDENT  VOICE 

After  the  recent  unfortunate  decision 
on  the  part  of  the  faculty  senate  regard- 
ing beards  at  SMC,  there  were  many  who 
voiced  disillusionment  with  the  S.A.  stating 
I  hat  it  had  failed  in  its  efforts  to  initiate 
beards.  But  did  the  S.A.  fail?  In  the 
Preamble  the  S.A.  is  "to  serve  as  a  voice 
of  the  students  to  the  College  Adminis- 
nation.  In  so  doing  the  Accent  printed 
articles,  the  student  representatives  voiced 
iheir  convictions,  the  Senate  sent  its  recom 
mendations,  and  the  Student  Body  par- 
ticipated in  an  overwhelming  poll.  All  the 
facits  of  the  S.A.  did  their  job-they  voiced 
the  opinion  of  the  students  to  the  College 
Administration  which  is  all  they  were  con- 
stitutionally expected  to  do.  Considering 
this,!  doubt  that  anyone  can  conclude  that 
certain  portions  of  the  S.A.  failed  or  are 
worthless  and  in  need  of  abolishment. 
After  all  the  faculty  never  promised  to 
heed  the  voice  of  the  student,  as  is  most 
apparent  in  this  case. 

STUDENT  UNION? 

It  is  true  that  the  S.A.  derives  its  auth- 
ority from  the  faculty  and  hence  is  some- 
what subservient  to  it.  This  brings  up  the 
point  of  the  liberationists  who  would 
like  to  see  the  S.A.  break  away  from  fac- 
ulty domination  and  independently  organ- 

into  some  form  of  Student  Union  cap- 
able of  collecting  its  own  dues,  bargaining 
"or  the  student,  and  even  throwing  a  strike 
or  two.  Rather  than  working  as  a  "voice" 
under  the  premise  of  "the  power  of  sug-

gestion,    they  would  be  able  to  use  their 
:>tudenl  Union,  if  need  be,  more  like  a 
fist    or  "club"  with  which  to  "smote 
Ihe  faculty  betwix  the  eyes"  in  getting 
their  wishes.  Under  some  circumstances 
an  organization  of  this  nature  may  have 
lis  merits,  but  I  feel  thai  rather  than 
working  logether  for  a  smoothly  oper- 
anng  program,  this  kind  of  an  organization 
would  tend  to  alienate  faculty  and  student 
And  under  this  conslant  feehng  of  antag- 
iinism  1  feel  less  would  be  accomplished 
in  the  best  interests  of  the  students. 

NEW  SYSTEM 

Recently  the  Student  Senate,  in  my 
estimation,  placed  a  milestone  by  voting 
to  establish  a  system  whereby  each  sena- 
tor is  assigned  a  faculty  Senate  member, 
and  as  issues  come  up  they  will  explain 
Ihe  student  views  to  these  faculty  mem-, 
bers  in  hopes  that  a  better  communication 
and  understanding  will  promote  the  stu- 
dents interests.  This  will  also  serve  as  a 
medium  through  which  the  views  of  these 
faculty  members  can  be  transmitted  back 
to  the  S.A.  If  this  sounds  suspiciously 
like  a  lobbying  organization,  that's  because 
It  is.  I  think  that  it  has  a  place,  though, 
and  will  be  a  welcome  addition. 

There  is  still  much  to  be  said  for  "the 
power  of  suggestion,"  and  coupled  with 
ihe  power  of  student  opinion,  there  em- 
erges a  potent  force  that  is  going  to  have 
10  be  dealt  with  by  the  Administration. 
As  the  student  body  at  SMC  now  stands, 
it  has  no  better  replacement  that  could 
be  substituted  as  a  "voice"  to  the  Ad- 
ministration than  the  S.A.  program  that 
it  now  has.  And  any  major  alterations 
would  only  serve  to  restrict  the  students 
in  one  area  or  another. 

CONCLUSION 

In  my  opinion,  the  S.A.  still  serves 
the  student  in  each  of  the  four  catagories 
as  set  forth  in  the  Prearnble,  and  is  striv- 
ing to  broaden  and  improve  on  its  ser- 
vices to  the  student.  From  this  1  would 
maintain  that  if  the  S.A.  is  still  able  to 
allow  students  to  function  effectively 
in  meeting  the  objectives  of  the  Preamble, 
and  I  think  that  it  does,  then  it  is  worth 
ihe  time  and  expense  to  carry  out  an 
effective  S.A.  program  for  the  Students.

1  order  to  have 
'  no  SA  existed,  it  \ 


be  very  feasible  that  students  would  still 
plan  their  share  of  the  programs  and 
chapels  which  are  now  under  the  auspices 
of  the  SA.    Perhaps  the  social  activities 
could  be  incorporated  into  the  dormitory 
and  married  couples  clubs,  as  was  the 
lecreational  branch  of  the  SA. 

Where  does  the  money  come  from  to 
operate  the  SA?  Over  S35,000  of  the 
SA  budget  comes  directly  from  student 
dues.  Any  student  taking  eight  or  more 
hours  of  classwork  automatically  pays 
S26  in  dues  to  the  SA.  Is  he  getting  his 
money's  worth? 

SA  PUBLICATIONS 
"only  worthwhile  production" 

As  I  see  things,  the  only  worthwhile 
productions  of  the  SA  are  the  publi- 
cations -  the  Soulheni  Memories,    the 
Southern  Accent,  the  Joker,  and  the 
Campus  Accent.    These  publications 
consume  about  half  of  the  SA  budget 
This  money  is  well  spent.   But  what  about 
Ihe  other  half  of  the  budget? 

The  weekly  Southern  Accent  is  prob- 
ably the  most  recognizable  production  ot 
Ihe  SA.   The  paper  is  the  only  medium 
which  presents  student  (and  even  faculty) 
opinion  to  the  general  public  for  their 
consideration.    It  is  an  essential  part  ol 
SMC    But  does  it  need  the  mothermg 
of  the  SA?   No,  it  doesn't.    It  could  very 
well  be  under  the  supervision  of  the 
Communications  Department. 

The  other  publications  are  also  com- 
ponents of  college  life.   The  Joker  pro- 
vide, the  indispensable  service  of  indexing 
Ihe  student  and  faculty  pictures  into  a 
handy  reference  book.   l\^t  Memories 
will   in  a  couple  of  decades,  bring  back 
just'what  its  title  implies  -  precious 
Southern  memories.    And  the  Campus 
Accent  is  necessary  for  carrying  announce- 
ments of  events,-  lost  and  found  items, 

''"'%ut  none  of  these  publications  need 
,he  motTering  of  the  Student  Association. 
Vlie^ub  ications  could  all  technici^ly  be 
overseen  by  the  Communications.  English, 


Art,  or  other  such  department.   Perhaps 
it  would  be  in  order,  however,  to  set  up 
a  Publications  Board  within  the  student 
body  to  oversee  the  production  of  tlie 
publications,  and  to  maintain  student 
representation  in  them.   The  publications 
do  not  need  the  SA. 

With  the  exception  of  the  publications 
Ihe  present  SA  is  operating  in  name  only. 
The  era  of  time  has  passed  when  the  SA 
was  the  major  voice  of  student  opinion. 
The  time  has  come  when  the  SA  has 
ceased  to  serve  a  useful  function,  just 
as  once  did  the  organization  of  classes. 
Class  organization  was  finally  done  away 
with.   How  long  will  it  be  before  the 
realization  comes  that  the  SA,  too,  has 
become  outmoded? 

A  TRUE  VOICE? 

What  is  the  purpose  of  the  Student 
Association?   According  to  the  preamble 
of  the  Constitution  of  the  SA,  one  ol 
its  major  purposes  is  to  "serve  as  a  voice 
of  the  students  to  Ihe  college  adminis- 
1  ration."   Does  the  SA  really  fulfill  this 
purpose?    Before  attempting  to  answer 
that,  let  us  take  a  look  at  the  philosophy 
and  the  history  of  the  development  and 
:hanges  in  student  associations. 

Student  associations  have  traditionally 
been  a  formal  lobbying  structure  for 
students  to  petition  their  desires  and 
needs  to  the  college's  faculty  and  admin- 
istration. 

However,  within  the  past  decade, 
college  campuses  seem  to  have  changed 
very  dramatically.   When  I  was  in  high 
school,  college  campuses  were  centers 
of  revolution  and  rioting.   Today  things 
are  somewhat  different;  students  now 
attempt  to  achieve  their  goals  by  more 
subtle  methods. 

TRIVIAL  TASKS 

During  the  era  of  campus  revolts,  a 
student  association  was  something  entirely 
different  than  it  is  today.    A  student 
association  was  once  the  prime  medium 
ihrough  which  the  student  voice  was 
heard  on  campus..  .Now  SA'shave  settled 


down  to  a  much  more  run-of-the-mill 
type  of  routine  work,  doing  little  jobs 
liere  and  there  that  could  be  done  with- 
out a  student  association. 

This  is  not  to  say  that  now  students 
do  not  have  grievances  to  present  to  the 
faculty.   Indeed  they  do.    But  the  student 
association  has  ceased  to  be  the  forum  of 
student  opinion.    Now,  students  are  full- 
tledged  and  voting  members  of  the 
various  faculty  committees  and  the  Faculty 
Senate.   These  committees,  along  with 
Ihe  Southern  Accent,  provide  the  real 
media  through  which  student  opinions 
are  effectively  expressed.    No  longer  do 
Ihe  students  need  a  student  association 
lo  voice  their  feelings  or  express  their 
opinions. 

A  PACIFIER 

In  my  way  of  thinking,  a  student 
association  is  to  the  student  body  what  a 
pacifier  is  to  an  infant.   A  certain  feeling 
of  false  security  comes  from  being  assoc- 
iated with  it. 

Not  many  years  ago,  SMC  organized  each 
class,  from  freshmen  to  seniors,  by  elect- 
ing class  officers.   Why  does  it  not  now? 
Obviously,  it  would  be  foolish  to  do  so, 
because  that  form  of  organization  from 
a  by-gone  era  has  been  outmoded. 
Electing  class  officers  for  any  class  other 
than  the  seniors  ceased  to  serve  a  useful 
function.   Has  the  time  come  when  the 
SA  has  reached  the  same  level  of  useful- 
ness? 

SA  SENATE-"A  FARCE" 
The  SA  Senate  is  basically  a  farce.   A 
lot  of  what  the  Senate  does   is  essentially 
of  no  value  to  anyone.   The  only  real 
function  of  Ihe  Senate  is  the  holding  of 
the  purse  strings  for  all  the  departments 
of  the  entire  SA.   The  Senate  must  give 
lis  stamp  of  approval  to  all  budgets, 
appropriations,  and  special  monetary 
expenditures.    Aside  from  it  being  a  jury 
of  treasurers,  the  Senate  is  functionally 
of  no  value.

Forgerer  aprehended  by 
collegeda/e  police 


I       An  investigation  carried  on  by  the 
i  detective  division  of  the  Collegedale 
Police  Department  last  week  resulted  in 
the  arrest  of  a  Rock  Hill,  SC  man  on  three 
counts  of  forgery- 
Roger  Melvin  Ball,  28,  was  arrested 
last  Thursday  for  the  felonious  passing 
1  of  a  forged  instrument.  The  incident 
I  occurred  on  Feb.  1  but  was  not  report- 
ed to  the  poUce  until  Feb.  1 1 .  Det.  Lt. 
i  Dave  Goodman  and  Det.  Sgt.  Eddy  Rob- 
I  mson  were  assigned  to  the  case  Feb.  1 2, 
I  and  an  anest  was  made  two  days  later. 
The  complaintant,  Mrs.  Tommie 
Caudill  of  Apison  Pike,  reported  the 
theft  of  several  personal  checks  to  Col- 
legedale's  American  National  Bank.  The 
checks  had  been  taken  from  her  check- 
book when  an  unknown  person  had 
1  entered  her  home  and  had  stolen  some 


[jeweby  and  small  appliances.  The  bank 
teller  notified  Collegedale  police  of  the 
thoft. 

I      In  a  police  line-up,  Ball  was  positively 
1  identified  by  Charles  Davis,  owner  of 
Magnolia  Pharmacy,  who  received  one 
of  the  false  checks. 

Collegedale  police  set  bail  for  Ball  at 
SIOOO.  Last  Friday  Ball  went  before 
City  Judge  Ray  Dodson  for  a  prelimin- 
ary hearing,  after  which  the  case  was 
referred  to  the  Hamilton  County  Grand 
Jury. 

PoUce  Chief  Doug  Keller  urges  all  res- 
idents and  business  operators  to  report 
immediately  any  illegal  entries,  thefts, 
or  suspicious  activities  within  Collegedale. 
The  detective  division  will  thus  be  enabled 
to  commence  investigation  at  the  earliest 
possible  time.

Tom  Dybdahl  p^^j  / 

"Religion  and  business  are  not  two  separate 
Ihings,  they  are  one.  Bible  religion  Is  to  be  inter- 
woven witli  all  we  do  or  say."^  "The  sanctifying 
power  of  trutli  is  to  abide  in  the  soul  and  be  carried 
»itli  us  to  our  business,  there  to  apply  its  continual 
tests  to  every  transaction  of  life,  especially  to  our 
dealings  with  our  fellow  men."^ 

These  quotations  remind  us  that  what  we  do 
,»|th  our  funds  for  investment  is  not  merely  a 
business  decision.  In  our  society,  money  carries 
power,  for  good  or  for  evil.  What  we  believe  must 
influence  our  investment  policies.  What  we  do  with 
our  money  must  be  related  to  the  human  and  social 
needs  to  which  the  gospel. of  Jesus  Christ  gives 
priority.  What  the  church  does  with  its  investment 
money  is  a  part  of  its  overall  program. 

Recognizing  this  fact,  the  Adventlst  church  has. 
refused  to  invest  in  companies  whose  products  and 
services  are  contrary  to  our  beliefs.  We  will  not  hold 
stocic  in  liquor  or  tobacco  companies.^  It  Is  our  way 
"We  cannot  stop  people 
from  making  or  using  evil 
products,  but  we  can  refuse 
to  profit  from  them." 
of  saying  that  we  will  not  support  these  enemies  of 
personal   health.    We    cannot    stop    people    from 
making  or  using  such  products,  but  we  can  refuse  to 
profit  from  them,  and  bear  a  clear  witness  before 
the  world  as  to  our  position. 

But  the  church  is  also  aware  of  other  responsi- 
bilities. In  a  world  that  is  increasingly  torn  by  strife, 
dissension  and  sin,  the  church  is  to  demonstrate 
God's  way.  Against  injustice  and  oppression  it  must 
stand  for  justice  and  loving  concern;  amid  racism,  it 
must  stand  for  the  brotherhood  of  all;  while  men 
make  war,  it  must  stand  for  peace. 

These  issues  are  not  irrelevant  "social"  issues; 
tliey  lie  at  die  heart  of  the  gospel.  For  they  focus 
on  the  crucial  point:  do  our  lives  exemplify  the 
truths  to  which  we  give  lip  service?  Are  we  indeed 
examples  of  Christ,  healers  in  a  sick  world? 

These  questions  apply  also  to  our  business  deal- 
ings. 

By  the  terms  of  our  stewardship  we  are  placed 
under  obligation,  not  only  to  God,  but  to 
man. . . 

These  truths  are  not  for  the  closet  more  than 
for  the  counting  room.  The  goods  that ««  handle 
are  not  our  own,  and  never  can  this  fact  safely  be 
lost  sight  of.  We  are  but  stewards,  and  on  the 
discharge  of  our  obligation  to  God  and  man 
depend  both  the  welfare  of  our  fellow  beings  and 
our  own  destiny  for  this  life  and  for  the  life  to 
come. 

Consequently,  if  the  church  is  to  invest  large 
"ims  of  money,  it  must  bear  additional  burdens.  We 
must  be  faithful.  Since  we  receive  the  dividends 
ram  corporations,  we  have  a  moral  responsibility 
"!■  the  manner  in  which  these  profits  are  made. 
Also,  we  are  called  to  witness.  Part  of  our  task  is 
see  that  those  who  hold  economic  power-the 
,^^^'\  °f  corporations-are  continually  made 
ware  of  the  demands  of  the  gospel  in  their  sphere.

As  Seventh-day  Adve;ntists,  we  look-forward  to 
he  future  with  hope.  For  a  solution  to  man's  prob 
lems,  we  seek  not  human  remedies  in  this  world,  but 
a  world  in  which  God  has  promised  to  make  all 
things  new.  At  the  same  time,  we  live  in  this  world 
and  are  called  to  be  Christians  in  our  relationship  to 
It  and  to  our  fellow  men.  What  we  do  now  deter- 
mines whether  we  shall  be  fit  citizens  for  heaven. 

And  so  the  challen:ge  faces  us.  As  yet,  we  have 
not  given  much  thought  to  how  liiis  relates  to 
investments.  In  the  current  General  Conference 
Working  Policy  there  is  no  mention  of  any  non- 
economic  criteria  for  investing.'  It  is  no  doubt 
assumed  that  those  responsible  will  invest  in 
harmony  with  church  standards,  since  the  first  item 
makes  plain  that  the  "employment  of  honest, 
sincere  Christian  men  and  women  is  the  best 
security  that  can  be  obtained  in  the  safeguarding  of 
funds."  But  even  this  places  stress  only  on  the 
safety  of  the  money. 

Given  the  complex  nature  of  the  problem,  and  its 
implications  for  us  all,  it  seems  that  another  look  at 
some  issues  might  be  in  order.  Let  us  focus  briefly 
on  some  crucial  areas  of  Christian  concern  in  invest- 
ing. 

The  Christian  recognizes  that  wars  will  grow 
worse  and  worse,  and  will  continue  until  the  end  of 
time.  (Matthew  24:6,  7;  Luke  21 :9, 10).  As  much  as 
we  may  pray  and  work  for  world  peace,  it  is  false 
eschatology  to  believe  that  it  will  be  achieved.  At 
the  same  time,  we  believe  that  the  gospel  of  Jesus 
Christ  is  a  gospel  of  peace,  that  stands  in  opposition 
to  war. 

in  America  today  we  see  an  increasing  swing 
toward  militarism.  More  and  more  money  is  being 
spent  on  weapons  and  defense.  The  Pentagon 
budget  for  1971  was  larger  than  the  entire  federal 
budget  was  in  1957.  "America  has  become  a 
"So  far  the  church  has  not 
seriously  considered  the  question." 
militaristic  and  aggressive  nation.  Militarism  in 
America  is  in  full  blood. . ."'  How  should  a 
Christian  investor  respond? 

We  cannot  stop  war,  and  it  is  futile  to  believe 
that  we  can.  And  as  citizens  of  America,  participat- 
ing in  its  life,  we  cannot  avoid  contributing  to  war. 
But  with  investments,  it  goes  beyond  that.  A  look  at 
the  General  Conference  Investment  Fund  shows 
holdings  in  13  of  the  top  60  Department  of  Defense 
contractors  for  fiscal  1971.  We  do  not  invest  in 
liquor,  because  we  oppose  its  use,  and  because  we 
do  not  believe  that  profiting  at  the  expense  of 
another  is  in  harmony  with  the  gospel. 

We  cannot  escape  all  responsibility  for  war,  but 
we  can  refuse  to  profit  from  it.  Some  of  our  tax 
money  may  support  war,  but  none  of  our  invest- 
ment money  need  support  it.  We  can  refuse  to 
invest  funds  in  companies  which  are  profiting  from 
the  manufacture  of  products  which  destroy  both 
human  life  and  natural  resources. 

But  so  far  the  church  has  not  seriously  con- 
sidered this  question.  With  our  investmetits  in  these 
weapons  manufacturers,  the  church  has  placed  itself 
in  a  position  of  complicity  with  their  acts.  We  have 
a  special  obligation  to  question  that  comphcity.  It  is 
important,  too,  for  us  to  consider  our  influence, 
"the  moral  aura  of  legitimacy  that  investments  in 
the   military  field  are  given   by  religious  involve- 

""'"evll  options  are  possible  for  the  church  which 
wants  to  reduce  its  influence.  In  March  1972,  at  a 
General  Board  Meeting  in  Elgin,  III  tfie  Church  of 
the  Brethren  voted  to  divest  itself  of  all  investments 
n  corporations  producing  defense  or  weapons- 
related  products.   In  addition,  the  church  decided 


not  to  purchase  any  new  government  securities  that 
may  channel  funds  into  military  appropriations.  The 
church  then  sold  stocks  and  bonds  worth  nearly  two 
million  dollars  in  compliance  with  the  decision. 

Other  churches  have  taken  different  approaches 
In  October  1970,  die  Committee  on  Financial 
Investments  for  the  United  Church  of  Christ  issued 
a  report  entitled  Investing  Church  Funds  for 
Maximum  Social  Impact.'  They  recommended  that 
a  church  investor  should  through  appropriate 
means  make  known  to  those  corporations,  which 
make  armaments,  and  in  which  it  holds  stock,  the 
desire  that  production  of  armaments  be  reduced  and 
that  die  priorities  of  national  productivity  be 
changed."'"  They  particularly  recommended  action 
in  the  case  of: 

1.  those  corporations  whose  primary  business 
(50  percent  or  more)  is  armament; 

2.  those  corporations  which  actively  seek  govern- 
ment policies  which  maintain  a  high  level  of 
defense  spending; 

3.  those  corporations  involved  in  the  production 
of  the  specific  weapons  systems  and  war 
material  criticized  by  the  General  Synod.' ' 

But  merely  considering  the  percentage  of 
business  a  company  does  with  the  military  may  be 
misleading.  For  example,  although  AT&T  does  less 
than  six  percent  of  its  business  with  the  military, 
that  represents  over  $931  million  on  contracts. 
Compare  that  with  the  United  Aircraft  Corporation, 
vrhich  does  over  thirty-seven  percent  of  its  business 
with  the  military,  yet  holds  contracts  worth  sixty 
million  dollars  less  than  AT&T.  And  while  Depart- 
ment of  Defense  contracts  represent  only  two  per- 
cerit  of  General  Motors'  business,  GM  makes 
Sheridan  Tanks,  M-16  rifles,  and  M-1-09  howitzers. 

Although  there  may  not  be  any  clean  stocks,  a 
relative  choice  can  be  made.  The  January-February 
issue  of  the  Economic  Priorities  Report'  ^  pointed 
out  that  of  Fortune  magazine's  list  of  the  500  top 
U.S.  corporations,  110  had  few  or  no  military  con- 
tracts ($100,000  or  less). 

Public  sentiment  on  the  question  is  worth  noting. 
The  Phladelphia  Enquirer,  in  its  regular  "People 
Speak"  feature,  asked:  "Is  it  proper  for  churches  to 
invest  money  in  military  contracts?"  Out  of  2,400 
callers,  63.9  percent  said  no.  Of  those  who  said  yes, 
one  asked:  "Why  not?  Churches  have  a  history  of 
being  hypocriti(^l."  jo  be  continued

radiated  Christian  love.  What  did  I  hear  m  off- 
the-cuff  little  whisperings  and  remarks,  te- 
centric!  Fanatic!  My  conception  of  a  fanatic 
has  always  been  a  super-zealous  soul  more 
interested  in  tearing  down  than  building  up, 
someone  who  cannot  see  beyond  himselt. 
This  I  did  not  see  in  her. 

The  lifestyle  of  Jesus  Christ  cramped  the 
Pharisees,  so  they  called  him  fanatical,  pos- 
sessed by  Beclzobul.  That  lady  might  make 
you  uncomfortable,  and  being  in  her  presence 
might  cramp  you.  1  would  like  to  ask  the 
last  of  a  series  of  searching  questions:  Who  is 
troubling  Israel?  You  or  Agatha?

Dear  Editors: 

1  recently  paid  a  visit  to  the  VM,  wearing 
clean  blue  jeans  and  a  shirt  neatly  tucked  in. 
On  my  way,  I  \vas  confronted  by  a  faculty  mem- 
ber who  informed  me  in  no  uncertain  terms  that 
I  was  the  worst  "jeans  offender"  on  the  WHOLE 
campus.  I  find  this  hard  to  accept,  in  light  of  my 
conservative  estimate  that  over  50%  of  the  male 
students  of  this  institution  wear  faded,  frayed 
blue  jeans  to  class  every  day.  As  a  female,  I  am 
not  allowed  to  wear  even  nice  slacks  to  classes, 
much  less  jeans  to  the  grocery  store! 

Also  along  these  lines  falls  the  matter  of  gym 
wear.  While  the  men  wear  silky  little  short  shorts 
for  their  intramural  games,  the  women  are  re- 
quired to  wear  bermudas  passed  by  the  PE  in- 
structor. Cutoffs  and  unhemmed  shorts  are 
strictly  out.  is  it  just  me,  or  are  there  some 
gross  inconsistencies  taking  place?

Dear  Editors: 

I  feel  mightily  moved  to  reply  to 
Ms.  Buckner's  letter  which  appeared  in  the 
Feb.  13  issue  of  this  publication. 

1  confess  to  be  at  a  loss  as  to  how  her 
comment  that  the  wife"is"  responsible 
for  55%  of  the  average  American  fami- 
ly's expenditure's  helped  her  argument 
in  any  way.  To  the  contrary  it  seemed  to 
me.  in  the  average  American  family  it 
is  the  husband  who  is  the  bread-winner 
and  so  naturally  while  he  is  busy  earn- 
ing money  his  wife  should  make  use  of 
her  time  and  be  responsible  enough  to 
at  least  go  to  the  store  and  buy  some 
groceries.  It's  possible,  though,  that  Ms. 
Buckner  was  trying  to  earn  some  credit 
for  females  by  noting  that  they  spend 
only  55%. 

Just  incidentally,  in  passing,  let  me 
mention  that  one  or  two  successful 
commercials  have  been  male  produced. 
To  my  knowledge  no  one  has  serious- 
ly acxused  females  of  being  totally 
devoid  of  creativity. 

How  many  of  the  rirefighters,  po- 
lice officers,  telephone  repair  person- 
nel, and  a  host  of  other  vital  personal- 
ities who  walk  city  streets  at  night  arc 
women?  (Note:  that's  city  STREETS 
where  it  is  deilnitely  dangerous,  not 
locked  safely  away  inside  some  se- 
cure office  building.  Of  course  there 
is  a  certain  contingent  of  women  out  on 
the  streets  at  night,  but  we  won't 
take  up  a  discussion  of  their  reasons 
for  being  there  in  this  correspondence.) 

Ivls.  Buckner  states:  "The  weaker 
sex  must  endure  the  traumatic  and  pain- 
ful experience  of  childbirth."  Must? 
Without  choice?  Come  now.  Further- 
more, if  males  were  to  "endure"  such 
a  rewarding  and  fulfilling  pain  as  I 
understand  chUdbirth  to  be,  1  really 
don't  think  very  many  would  complain 
too  terribly  bitteriy.  And  are  there  no 
males  who  might  take  some  of  the  res- 
ponsibility of  birth  control,  or  are  we  all 
a  pack  of  brutes  with  no  self  control? 

As  for  "raging  hormones",  would  Ms 
Buckner  be  so  kind  as  to  make  avail- 
able the  source  of  that  information, 
or  is  it  a  male  trait  attribution  of  her  own? 
!  ve  never  heard  a  male  say  he  expected 
females  to  "always  function  efficiently 
and  calmly",  indeed,  many  have  thought 
such  an  event  a  pleasant  surprise. 
.     Although  Ms.  Buckner  didn't  say  it 
in  so  many  words,  she  implied  female  bio- 
logical superiority.  The  statistics  proving 
female  s  greater  life  expectancy  are  of 
course,  undeniable.  But  is  this  bioligi-

For  tliose  interested  in  the  biologies  of 
the  subject,  i  suggest  tire  August,  I971  ■.' 
of  SCIENCE  DIGEST,  available  in  our  it

of  each  sex,  attempting  to  prove  biologicji

agree  with  me  that,  ALL  things  considered 
pros  and  cons  of  both  sexes  canceUng  each 

—"  turn  out  to  be  pretty  J 


other  out,  the  s 
equal  biologically. 

All  this  reasoning  leaves  us  with  the  basi 
issue  still  at  hand.  Society  over  the  past 
6.000  or  so  years  has  structured  us  until  we 
have  become  endowed  with  an  unpraemaiin;    I 
which  has  resulted  in  the  "battle  of  the  S*l 
as  yet  unresolved.  I  cannot  say  1  blame  fem.i  I 
for  wanting  to  resolve  it.  I  beUeve  most  of  uf 
males  would  like  it  resolved  as  well    Wc  are 
^tting  tired  of  ceaselessly  being  inundated 
with  various  media  decrying  the  low  positL 
women  seem  to  feel  themselves  relegated  1, 
What  can  be  done  to  resolve  the  conllici;  im^| 
about  some  truly  open-minded  thought  and 
discussion,  both  parties  taking  into  weight  AlJ 
considerations,  not  merely  those  advantagiotj 
one  particular  position.  How  about  letters  to 
the  editor  that  are  perhaps  just  a  teeny,  weenyl 
bit  more  thought  out  and  congruous  than  we' 
seen.  Probably  most  important,  how  about 
raising  the  female  image,  not  lowering  it. 

Not  all  males  (or  females  either  for  that 
matter)  agree  that  the  sexes  can  be  equal,  but  L 
typical  Women's  Lib  type  activities  only  antje-l 
onize  instead  of  accomplish.  "Come  now,  let 
us  reason  together"  is  an  excellent  rule  to' 
follow  (I  take  it  Ms.  Buckner  was  attempting 
reason).  But  please,  let's  have  rati  inal  reaso[| 
and  furthermore,  rational  proponents. 

As  for  me,  I  say:   "Come  on  sister,  let's  be  | 
brothers!"  Or  isn't  that  the  kind  of  equality 


Sex-a  iornuM  kim 

Dear  Editors: 

le  of  last  week's  editorials  this  ques- 
posed:  Why  don't  we  heat  more 
about  sex.  and  deal  with  this  topic 
•nore  openly? 

Granted  there  are  times  when  this  topic 
should  be  discussed.  1  think  there  is  a  good 
reason  why  illicit  sex  is  not  generally  consid- 
ered a  suitable  topic  for  open  social  discussion.| 
The  reason  is  found  in  Ephesians  five. 

Verse  three  states  "But  fornication,  and 
all  uncleanness,  or  covetousness,  let  it  not  be 
once  named  among  you,  as  becometh  saints." 
Now  the  phrase  "Let  it  not  be  once  named 
among  you"  does  not.  as  I  had  always  tlioughl 
mean  "Let  it  not  be  once  found  among  you," 
Rather,  it  means  "Don't  even  talk  about  sudl  | 
things."  (Phillips). 

Fornication  is  the  Biblical  term  for  any 
kind  of  illicit  sex,  pre-  or  extramarital,  Paulo  J 
saying  these  things  are  too  shameful  to 
about-"Thcy  were  not  even  fit  for  discussion  | 
among  saints."  (SDA  Comm.)  In  verse 
Paul  re-emphasizes  this:   "For  it  is  a  shi 
to  speak  of  those  things  which  are  doni 
in  secret."  .  , 

The  modem  trend  of  throwing  off  s"™'"  , 
ventions  and  inhibitions  and  disposing  of  £upl-l 
cmisms  in  quest  of  frankness  is  good  to  a  poinif 
but  such  good  things  are  usually  carried  too  ijT 
Good  taste  is  still  the  standard.  There  are  bliu| 
certain  topics  which,  to  use  Paul's  expressi""' 
•shameful"  to  talk  about.  1  don't  thuik  inii 
would  exclude  a  sermon  on,  say,  the  place 
sex  in  marriage,  which  is  a  topic  I  have  seen 
advertised,  although  I  didn't  attend,  in  a  m" 
SDA  church,  ,      „,n  i 

Now  that  I  have  finished  setting  the  won» 
straight(?),  i  would  like  to  add  that  the  last 
two  issues  of  the  Accent  were  the  hW  ,™"^.

I  am  one  of  the  positive  team  that  would 
like  to  have  pantsuits  integrated  into  classroom 
and  Saturday  night  attire. 

1)  Being  able  to  wear  pantsuits  to  the  student 
center  after  7  p.m.  but  not  to  the  library  is  very 
inconvenient.  Many  times  after  two  or  three  hour; 
of  studying  at  the  hbraiy,  I'd  like  to  go  play  chess 
or  ping  pong  for  a  half  hour  or  so  but  can't  do 
cither  very  well  in  a  dress.  (Ever  try  playing 
chess  on  the  floor  m  a  dress?)  Why  are  pants 
allowed  on  Sundays  but  not  on  weeknights  (at 
least)?  Is  it  because  we  feel  the  need  to  keep  up 
with  the  outside  world  via  a  reversed  "Blue  Law?" 

2)  Besides  the  fact  tiiat  probably  no  girl  will 
wear  pants  "all  the  time,"  if  a  girl's  only  reason 
for  wearing  a  dress  rather  than  pants  is  to  show      - 
her  legs  in  an  effort  to  be  sexy,  feminine  or 
whatever  else  you  may  label  it,  I  understand 
diere  are  still  some  can-can  halls  in  the  world. 

3)  Pants  are  warmer,  more  modest  and 
much  more  practical  to  wear  to  labs  and 
other  various  activities. 

In  closing,  personal  opinion  is  that  we 
at  least  have  the  choice  as  to  whether  or  not 
we  want  to  weelr  pantsuits.  Those  who  will 
feel  their  femininity  threatened  or  have  a  moral 
thing  about  them  can  stick  to  their  dresses.  A 
lot  of  us  would  like  to  be  able  to  wear  both.

^     Halversen  took  their  games  otf  Holland 
^k    (80-7^)  and  Hale  (70-67)  while  Reading 
W    defeated  Bird  twice  (78-76  in  overtime 
1\  and  7^-67).  Holland  had  a  chance  to  take 
» /L  over  first  pkce  if  they  would  have  held  on 
*      to  the  lead  the>'  had  against  Hale.  With 
little  more  than  a  minute  left  in  the  game 
Holland  was  left  with  three  men  on  the 
court  and  just  couldn't  keep  the  ball 
^,^   away  from  Hale's  delonsc.  Bird  lost  three 
*    more  games  last  week  to  drop  them  into 
.last  place  in  the  standings.  Bird  has  lost 
their  iBSt  six  games  after  having  won 
their  first  three.  This  doesn't  make  loo 
much  sense  with  Bird  having  four  plaj-ers 
avera"iii°  thirteen  or  better  points  per 
game^and  shooting  better  titan  40%  from

In  women's  basketball  last  week, 
Anderson's  team  took  a  strong  lead  over 
Wagner's  and  held  it  to  win  the  game  45-6. 
High  scorer  for  Anderson  was  Marlene 
Pumphrey  who  racked  up  18  points. 

The  Howard  vs  Academy  game  showed 
keen  competition  ajid  lots  of  cooperation 
between  team  members.  Howard  shot 
forward  to  take  the  lead.  In  the  last  5  min- 
utes the  academy  began  to  close  the  gap 
between  the  scores,  but  Howard  hung  on' 


to  their  lead  to  win  30-24

NewGeneral  education  program  proposed 


Volume  29  Number  21 

Wednesday,  February  27,  1974 


Souilicrn  Missionary  College 
Collepcdale,  T-cnnessco  ,17315 


I  Be  long-standing  and  well-known 
L  of  SMC  that  every  student  must 
lit  Humanities  sometime  after  liis 
lishnian  year  may  soon  be  obsolete. 
Lnsgainitniay  not.  It  all  depends 
Uow  the  new  proposed  guidelines 
biihe  general  education  program  are 
wived  by  the  faculty. 
I  He  General  Education  Committee, 
Ler  the  leadership  of  Dr.  Wayne 
iijileVere,  has  been  busy  since  1972 
liking  on  an  acceptable  plan  for  the 
mngijig  of  the  general  education  re- 
liiementsofSMC. 

I  The  most  recent  proposal  will  be 
t  before  the  Faculty  Senate  in 
r  future,  and  if  it's  approved 
llhen  go  before  the  entire  faculty. 
himajor  changes  in  this  proposal, 
Icompared  to  the  standing  require- 
pls.are: 

1 1)  A  reduction  of  the  total  hours 

wd  for  graduation  from  1 28  to 

Jfora  BA  or  BS  degree.  This  would 

lt3B««stndenls  to  take  only  15  hours 
usemesters,  rather  than  16  hours 
kry semester  in  order  to  graduate  in 
pt  years, 

l2)Areduction  of  general  education 
Itve broad  calagories:  a)  Man's  God, 
Pan^s  Culture,  c)  Man's  Environment, 
Pan's  Communication  Needs,  e)  Man's 
Ijiiiiand  Recreation.  Each  of  these 

I)  ^iiswould  have  to  be  represented  to 


some  extent  in  each  student's  program 
of  study. 

3)  A  more  individualized  program,  in 
which  each  student  has  the  freedom  to 
select  those  courses  which  will  be  of  the 
most  benefit  to  him  in  his  chosen  field. 

4)  Provision  for  departments  to 


develop  new  courses  or  reorganize  old 
ones  to  meet  the  needs  of  today's  student. 
This  plan  may  also  include  the  adoption 
of  a  general  Associate  Arts  degree  pro- 
gram.  . 

5)  That  general  education  require- 
ments shall  be  met  outside  the  Student's 
major  requirements.  (The  two  sides  of 
this  question  have  not  yet  been  brought 
before  the  faculty.) 

If  this  program  was  adopted,  it  would 
include  the  selection  of  a  qualified  person 
to  be  in  charge  of  the  total  general  edu- 
cation program  on  the  campus.  Also,  each 
student  would  have  to  develop  his  in- 
dividualized program  with  the  help  of  a 
faculty  advisor,  and  submit  his  proposed 


plans  to  his  major  department  for  ap- 
proval by  tlie  end  of  the  first  semester 
of  his  sophomore  year. 
The  faculty,  so  far,  has  shown  signs  of 
being  quite  divided  over  the  issue  of  fie-;- 
ible  general  education  as  suggested  by  the 
committee,  as  opposed  to  structured  gen- 
eral education  as  it  now  exists.  Those 
advocating  a  fiexible  program  point  out 
that  we  can't  require  a  large  number  of 
general  courses  and  expect  every  student 
to  fit  that  mold.  They  question  the  pro- 
gressiveness  of  our  present  system  in  that 
many  students  are  forced  to  take  courses 
that  will  be  of  no  value  to  them  in  their 
chosen  fields. 

On  the  other  hand,  those  faculty  mem- 
bers in  favor  of  a  structured  program  in- 
sist that  there  is  a  "unit  of  knowledge 
basic  to  all  students  "-certain  courses 
we  ALL  need,  and  that  to  individualize 
lOUr  programs  will  leave  nothing  more  than 
"an  educational  cafeteria  line."  They 
also  mention  that  to  decide  on  a  general 
education  program  during  the  freshman 
or  early  sophomore  year  will  be  a  waste 
of  time  for  that  large  percentage  of  stu- 
dents that  change  their  major. 

Dr.  VandeVere  feels  that  perhaps  a 
compromise  will  be  reached  where  the 
flexible  program  is  adopted  with  only 
three  or  four  courses  required  of  every- 
one. Those  three  or  four  courses  are 
still  under  consideration,  but  might 
possibly  be  Humanities,  Foundations 
of  the  Advent  Movement,  Health  and 
Life,  and  the  first  half  of  Freshman 
Composition. 

At  any  rate,  if  the  proposed  pro- 
gram IS  accepted,  it  wouldn't  go  into 
effect  until  the  1975-76.schooI  year, 
so  those  who  were  hoping  to  evade 
Humanities  had  better  face  the  hard, 
cold  fact  that  it's  going  to  be  around 
for  quite  some  time.    _raa„,>  Ki„rf 


CARTA  is  here  to  stay

'C!„y'"^^"'''"-March  6  through  I  2.  studei 
'"'""^ipatelun-fiiled  activities. 


The  Chattanooga  Area  Regional  Trans- 
portation Authority  (CARTA)  is  here  to 
stay,  at  least  for  awhile,  inspite  of  rumors 
ro  tlie  contrary.  That's  the  message  from 
a  CARTA  spokesman  in  Chattanooga,  Mr. 
Blalock,  who  said  that  for  the  time  being, 
ihc  plan  is  to  continue  the  eight  runs  per 
day  on  the  Collegedale  line. 

Mr.  Blalock  quoted  a  survey,  taken  three 
,,,  four  weeks  ago,  saying  the  use  from  the 
aid  of  the  Brainerd  run  to  Collegedale 
wasn't  substantial.  But  this  lack  of  interest 
isnt  to  say  the  line  will  be  .scrapped  or  that 
,11  tempts  aren't  being  made  to  interest 
more  prospective  riders. 

(lien  McColpin.  Collegedale  city  attorney 
IS  working  to  institute  a  "park  and  ride" 
l-icilitv  at  the  Collegedale  church  parknig 
lot    li  is  hoped  this  will  stimulate  more 
use  of  the  bus.  especially  by  those  who 
would  normally  drive  their  cars  to  town. 
Ihc  bus  cost  is  S.50  one  way-probably 
cheaper  than  buying  gas. 

■■Contact  made  with  the  church  has 
ihown  that  the  church  board  is  interested, 
jut  more  definitive  action  awaits  further 
discussion,"  Mr.  McColpin- said. 

The  lack  of  use  shown  in  the  line  causes 
ihe  share  that  Collegedale  pays  to  CARTA 
10  remain  high  to  cover  costs.  With  more 


riders  this  share  would  lessen.  Mr.  McColpin 
went  on  to  say  that  if  there  is  anytliing 
lacking  in  service  or  if  there  is  a  problem 
somewnere,  passengers  snouid  contact 
him  about  it.  He  is  concerned  with  provid- 
ing service  that  will  interest  more  people. 
He  also  indicated  an  increase  in  use  would 
probably  accompany  the  continued  worsen- 
ing of  the  present  energy  crisis. 

Mr,  Blalock  stated  that  at  least  one 
other  line  showed  the  same  amount  (  or, 
lack)  of  interest  as  the  Collegedale  line. 
Running  a  bus  line  costs  about  S 1 2  an  hour. 

He  said  that  another  survey  would  be 
taken  in  a  month  or  (wo  to  determine 
how  much  use  the  line  had  and  then 
further  decisions  might  be  made  at  that 
time.  He  made  reference  at  this  point  to 
cutting  down  the  amount  of  runs  made 
daily  do  Collegedale. 

CARTA  is  a  publicly  owned  corporation, 
..id  its  interest  is  more  on  scr\'icc  to  the 
people  than  on  a  large  return.  CARTA 
operates  2S  lines  in  llic  ClialtaiUioga  area. 
several  of  which  take  up  some  ol  Ihe  slack 
of  the  longer  runs  such  as  the  Collegedale 
line.  CARTA  receives  local  and  lederal 
funds,  with  attempts  now  under  way 
to  obtain  some  state  support.

Are  church  investment 
standards  tco  low? 


\jMONC  THE  IMPORTANT  questions  svhich  Tom 
D\  bdahls  report  will  raise  for  Seventh-day  Adventists,  one 
in"  particular  stands  out  from  the  rest:  "Can  the  standards  we 
set  for  ourselves  as  a  church  be  lower  than  those  we  set  for 
ourselves  as  individuals?" 

XVhert  war  is  concerned,  we  might  restate  the  above  ques- 
tion like  this    Most  of  us  on  this  Christian  campus  would  be 
shocked  and  angered  if  one  student  killed  another  student  over 
a  small  quarrel.  Without  a  doubt,  we  would  agree  that  the 
killer  was  wrong. 

Yet  shouldn't  we  also  be  shocked  and  angered  that  the 
corporations  we,  as  a  church,  invest  in  help  make  weapons 
that  are  used  in  war? 

The  question  reaches  back  hundreds  of  years  into  history. 
For  men  proclaimed  the  gospel  of  Christ  for  hundreds  of  years 
in  Europe  and  America,  and  also  proclaimed  all  along  that 
French  Christians  ought  to  kill  English  Christians  in  time  of 
war. 

And  we  must  not  forget  that  in  our  own  century  t';e  two 
major  wars  have  been  fought  among  nations  that  professed 
some  regard  or  respect  for  the  Christian  religion  (with  the 
notable  exceptions  of  the  U.S.S.R.  and  Japan). 

But  the  question  of  two  different  standards  of  conduct 
does  not  stop  at  wars  between  Christians.  It  applies  also  to 
wars  between  Christians  and  declared  non-Christians. 

In  this  respect,  the  Middle  Ages  were  much  like  our  pre- 
sent day.  Then.  Christian  faced  Moslem;  now  as  some  see  it. 
Christian  faces  Communist.  Yet  the  modem  church  can  learn 
much  from  what  Roger  Bacon,  a  Franciscan  scholar,  said  to 
the  medieval  church: 

". . .  where  Christians  are  victorious,  no  one  remains  to  de- 
fend the  conquest.  Nor  are  unbelievers  converted  in  this  way, 
but  kUled  and  sent  to  hell.  The  survivors  of  the  wars  together 
with  their  children  are  embittered  more  and  more  against  the 
Christian  faith  because  of  those  wars  and  are  indefinitely 
alienated  from  the  faith  of  Christ  and  stirred  up  to  do  Christ- 
ians all  the  harm  possible.  .  .  Besides,  the  faith  did  not  enter 
into  this  world  by  force  of  arms  but  by  simple  preaching." 
Thus,  we  must  look  again  at  the  question  of  war  and  our 
financial  involvements  with  the  corporations  that  help  arm 
our  country  for  it. 

We  must  now  turn  to  the  matter  of  oppression. 
Where  South  Africa  is  concerned,  we  might  restate  the  or- 
iginal question  like  this:  Most  of  us  on  this  campus  would  be 
shocked  and  angered  if  a  student  were  denied  admission  be- 
cause he  was  black. 

Yet,  shouldn't  we  also  be  shocked  and  angered  that  the 
corporations  we  as  a  church  invest  in  help  sustain  a  country 
that  denies  blacks  the  above  rights? 

Our  answer  to  this  question  may  have  important  consequen- 
ces for  the  Adventist  message.  We  as  Adventists  beUeve  in  a  lit- 
eral creation,  and  that  God  created  Adam,  from  whom  all  men 
came.  If  follows,  then,  that  all  men  are  brothers  on  the  basis 
of  their  common  father.  (This  is  not  to  deny  the  even  greater 
source  of  brotherhood  in  Christ.  Rom.  5:12-17,  Gal.  3:26-28.) 

But  as  long  as  our  church  money  helps  to  support-even  in- 
directly-the  oppression  of  our  black  brothers  in  South  Africa, 
we  cannot  expect  informed  people  to  take  seriously  our  mes- 
sage of  a  common  father  in  Adam  and  a  common  creator  in 
God. 

In  a  world  where  many  people  question  the  theological  and 
ethical  purity  of  Christian  churches,  the  Adventist  church  has 
a  wonderful  opportunity  for  showing  that  a  church  which 
follows  its  Lord  can-and  indeed  should-be  pure.  We  hope 
and  pray  that  the  church  will  wait  no  longer  to  seize  this  op- 
portunity.

Assistant  Editor  of  The  Collegian. 


On  Second 
Thought 


Rcp-0((  ftMuufd 


Dear  editors: 

It  Brieves  our  hearts  to  see  an  Anti-Chiist  rule 
in  our  schools  forcing  men,  the  ones  that  want 
to  be  like  me,  to  shave  when  the  Master,  whom 
the  SDA  church  encourages  us  to  look  to,  is  a 
bearded  man  (Desire  of  Ages,  page  734.  Testi- 
monies, vol.  2,  page  202).  He  also  had  hau  to 
his  shoulders  (Testimonies,  vol.  I.  page  6U). 
About  every  other  SDA  college  has  wised  up  to 
Uiis  and  has  quit  trying  to  be  Satanic  lyraiits 
on  this  issue.  Of  course.  Uie  people  of  SMC  are 
backward. 

It  Grieves  us  to  sec  the  upside  down  structure 
of  the^verage  SDA  home  now.  too.  "But.  1 
would  have  you  know  that  the  head  of  every 
inan  is  Christ;  the  head  of  every  woman  is  man; 
and  the  head  of  Christ  is  God,"  1  Corinthians 
1 1 :3.  Compare  this  to  the  way  the  homes  are 
run  today;  children  ordering  their  parents  a- 
round.  Sometimes  this  carries  through  to  man- 
hood and  they  continue  to  disrespect  tlieir 
elders. 

The  young  man  who  ran  the  Sabbath  after- 
noon meeting  in  the  game  room  cut  me  off 
after  he  asked  a  question  of  the  audience  which 
I  attempted  to  answer.  1  found  this  rather  rude 
and  walked  out  mentioning  it  to  anotlier  man. 
I  also  found  the  pattern  of  the  carpet  in  the 
game  room  satanically  influenced. 

The  tluee  nights  that  1  stayed  in  Talge  Hall, 
students  put  me  up  and  1  stayed  in  good  faitii. 
They  even  fed  me  food  with  the  Lord's  blessing. 

Just  as  I  was  about  to  leave  the  area,  1  hap- 
pened to  pass  Dean  Nelson's  office.  He  came 
rip  snorting  out  of  his  office  like  a  bull,  and 
took  hold  of  my  hand  leading  me  into  his  of- 
fice. He  gave  me  the  third  degree,  and  threw 
his  weight  around  like  a  tyrant  dictator.  He 
is  young  enough  to  be  my  son.  1  have  a  son 
about  Dean  Nelson's  age  who  is  a  sargeant  in 
the  US  Air  Force  stationed  in  Alaska  named 
Steve.  Dean  Nelson  knows  better  than  to  be 
so  disrespectful  to  me.  He  knows  I'd  clean  his 
clock  if  he  tried  it.  May  this  Dean  be  removed. 

Outside  of  the  grievances  I've  mentioned 
above,  the  visit  to  SMC  was  most  profitable 
for  all  concerned.  Praise  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
our  Lord  and  Savior,  amen  and  amen. 

Elder  Des  Cummings,  Sr.  will  be  out  of 
town  for  a  week.  The  Lord  is  giving  SMC  this 


letters  to  the  editor 


time  to  take  care  of  the  Anti-Christ  beard  mat- 
ter. This  letter  is  being  typed  in  the  Lay

May  I  add  that  Elder  Hensen  was  so  kind 
and  gracious  to  take  me  into  his  home  last 
night  for  supper.  He  has  an  excellent  wife  and 
hvo  sons.  He  then  drove  me  to  a  fashionable 
motel  for  the  night  and  I  had  the  privilege  to 
see  the  last  half  of  the  movie  "The  Ten  Com- 
mandments," with  no  interference  from  others 
May  the  Lord  help  you  to  straighten  up  the 
Satanic  encounters.  I  hope  you  can  have  it 
where  the  men  can  be  free  to  grow  beards 

It  will  be  a  wonderful  thing  when  the  women 
are  ladies  once  more  and  wear  their  dresses  as 
God  described  by  God  in  Testimonies,  vol.  1 
page521  and  Testimonies,  vol.  1  page  464. etc. 
The  dress  should  overlap  the  boot,  so  it  should 
be  about  halfway  between  the  knee  and  on        I 
the  floor.  Then  when  on  the  rostrum  men  won't  | 
have  to  look  at  their  panties  etc.  Have  the  SMC 
women  any  shame  about  them??? 

In  closing.  I  pray  for  the  church  to  get  back    j 
to  the  old  standards  and  please  God.  '

Dear  Editors: 

I  was  definitely  moved  to  write  you  con- 
cerning the  letter  Mr.  Owens  wrote  to  you 
pertaining  to  Ms.  Buckner's. 

1  felt  he  could  have  been  a  litti?less  biased 
and  much  more  tactful  in  demonstrating  his 
opinion.  If  reverbration  type  letters  are  to  be 
written  for  the  "column"  they  should  not  only 
be  tactful  but  also  void  of  sarcasm  demonstrated  | 
by  his  and  other  letters  previously  submitted. 

We  may  have  the  right  to  our  own  beliefs  and  | 
lifestyles,  but  do  we  have  the  right  to  chastise 
another  human's  "rights"  just  because  his  or 
hers  differs  from  ours?

Oh,  no,  the  pantsuit  issue  rides  again 
nd  I  am  caught  in  the  race.  I  appreciate 
the  vote  of  confidence  that  my  silent 
minority  or  is  it  majority  (hard  to  tell) 
has  extended  to  me  by  asking  me  to 
support  the  wearing  of  pants  by  women 
tor  general  campus  wear.  It  is  my  under- 
'standing  that  many  have  been  fearful  of 
this  task,  but  I  will  forge  ahead  and  bear 
tlie  burden.  As  my  students  would  say 
You  need  your  head  examined."  The 
lollowmg  are  my  thoughts  alone,  not  even 
my  husband  influenced  me! 

Since  I've  been  on  the  Senate  for  the 
last  two  years,  on  the  Female  Dress  Com- 
mittee last  year,  and  on  tlie  Student  Af- 
fairs Committee  this  year,  I  see  the  issue 
of  not  allowing  the  wearing  of  pantsuits 
in  the  classroom,  library,  cafeteria,  and 
Wright  Hall  falling  into  three  main  cate- 
gories. 

The  first  is  the  matter  of  control.  Now, 
I  will  have  to  agree  that  control  is  basic 
and  most  important  to  all  aspects  of  life. 
Since  the  students  have  been  granted  the 
privilege  of  wearing  slacks  and  pantsuits 
for  leisure,  there  have  reportedly  been 
some  who  have  taken  advantage  of  the 
rule  that  says,  "no  jeans."  Many  types  of 
jeaned  legs  have  been  seen  at  the  shop- 
ping center,  along  the  sidewalks,  and  in 
front  of  the  Hnrms

Ellen  Gilbert 
My  question  is,  how  many  young 
women  that  we  see  in  jeans  are  actually 
our  students?  How  many  girls  are  there 
that  actually  offend  this  rule?  Until  we 
know  this,  how  can  we  then  penalize  the 
majority  (1  believe)  that  obey  the  rule.  It 
appears  that  we  get  overwhelmed  with 
what  the  offenders  do  and  consequently 
negatively  reward  everyone  instead  of 
positively  rewarding  the  upholders  of  the 
law  and  taking  care  of  the  few  offenders. 
As  Eric  Hoffer  said,  "We  are  more  prone 
to  generalize  the  bad  than  the  good.  We 
assume  that  the  bad  is  more  potent  and 
contagious." 

The  second  category  is  "Our  Image." 
Does  our  image  (whatever  that  means) 
increase  Christianity?  Are  we  hiding  be- 
hind our  external  appearance  so  that  we 
don't  have  to  really  come  to  grips  with 
our  Christian  deficiencies  in  CONSTRUC- 
TIVE INTERPERSONAL  RELATION- 
SHIPS? It  is  much  easier  to  look  at  a  per- 
son's exterior  and  judge  him  as  good  or 
bad  than  to  sit  down,  get  to  know  him, 
and  find  out  wnat  his  behavior  (which 
might  be  disobeying  the  dress  code)  means. 

Nice  fitting  slacks,  pants,  or  whatever 
you  call  them  can  look  as  befitting  as  any 
dress.  Not  everyone  on  this  campus  looks 
jreat  in  dresses,  or  skirts.  How  these 
«ung  ladies  look  depends  upon  their  back- 
ground, finances,  and  mental  and  spiritual 
outlook.  The  same  would  be  true  for  the 
way  they  would  look  in  slacks.  Those  who 
look  ill  dressed  in  skirts  will  probably  ap- 
pear that  way  in  pants. 

The  last  category  is  the  concern  that 
the  girls  will  lose  their  femininity.  If  they 
don't  have  it  by  now,  they'll  never  have  it, 
and  if  they  have  it,  they  won't  lose  it  by 
wearing  slacks.  Femininity  is  a  learned  pei-- 
sonality  trait  as  much  as  how  we  eat,  sleep, 
play,  or  relate  to  other  people.  Now,  if  the 
concern  is  that  those  girls  who  already  tend 
to  be  masculine  will  appear  more  so,  I 
strongly  disagree.  You've  already  noticed 
their  peculiarity  while  they  were  wearing 
dresses.so  what  will  the  wearing  of  pants 
do  differently? 

Young  ladies,  middle  aged  ladies,  and 
older  ladies  can  all  look  feminine  and  lovely 
in  pants  just  as  they  do  in  dresses.  They 
won't  give  up  their  dresses  completely  if 
pants  come  in.  There  are  purposes  for 
both  and  it  would  be  nice  if  we  were  given 
credit  for  using  good  taste  and  intelligence 
dealing  with  our  wearing  apparel.     □

!)ear  Editor: 

Last  Thursday  night  die  speaker  at  joint 
worship  briefly  commented  on  the  Watergate 
^cene  in  his  sermon  against  crime.  In  mention- 
ing the  President,  he  said  in  part,  as  I  recall, 
'We  all  hope  he  can  weather  the  storm." 

I  am  not  sure  that  1  agree.  It  may  be  pos- 
Nible  that  there  are  times  when  our  loyalty  to 
Ideals  and  principles  of  our  country  conflicts 
with  our  loyalty  to  the  person  of  the  President. 
1  find  myself  wondering  if  our  democratic  re- 
oubUc  in  this  moral  crisis  (  and  who  doesn't 
agree  we  have  a  moral  crisis?)  could  not  be 
best  served  by  getting  to  the  bare  facts  of  the 
President's  mvolvement. 

1  believe  the  word  for  this,  in  spite  of  its 
terrible  sound,  is  impeachment.  1  understand 
-hat  impeachment  would  mean  that  the  House 
of  Representatives  brings  a  charge  against  the 
President   The  Senate  would  then  hear  boUi 
sides  of  the  question.  If  the  President  came 
out  tanocent,  the  country  could  bitathe  a 
much  needed  sigh  of  relief.  But  if  he  is  guUty, 
diis  republic  ^vill  have  gone  far  toward  proving 
its  viabUity  in  a  very  dark  hour.  And  one  bene- 
tlt  would  be  that  aU  future  presidents  would 
reaUze  that  in  spite  of  their  being  the  most 
powerful  person  on  tire  globe,  even  they  are 
subject  to  law. 

Even  the  idea  that  our  President  may  con- 
sider himself  above  the  law  has  a  mahgnant  et-

Part  II 

Tom  Dybdahl    ■ 

is  an  Adventist  pastor 

in  Boston's  inner  city. 


♦luST  AS  WAR  will  continue  to  the  end  of 

time,  we  know  from  Scripture  that  racism,  injustice, 

and  oppression  will  continue  and  grow  worse.  For 

their  source  is  the  selfish  heart  of  man,  and  until 

men  are  transformed  by  the  grace  of  Christ  they  will 

continue  to  exploit  their  brothers.  But  this  does  not 

stop  us  from  calling  these  things  sin,  and  living  in 

opposition  to  them.  The  message  of  the  gospel  is  a 

message  of  liberation  for  all  men.  While  on  earth, 

Christ    identified    Himself    with    the    poor    and 

oppressed,  and  He  asks  His  people  to  do  the  same. 

The  accounts  of  every  business,  the  details  of 

ever>'   transaction,  pass  the  scrutiny  of  unseen 

auditors,  agents  of  Him  who  never  compromises 

with     injustice,     never    overlooks    evil,    never 

palliates  wrong.  "If  thou  seest  the  oppression  of 

the  poor,  and  the  violent  perverting  of  judgment 

and  justice  . . .  marvel  not  at  this  matter;  for  He 

that  is  higher  than  the  highest  regardeth."  "There 

is  no  darkness,  nor  shadow  of  death,  where  the 

workers  of  iniquity  may  hide  themselves."' 

One    area    where     many    companies    practice 

injustice  and  oppression   is  in   their  employment 

policies-especially  with  regard  to  minority  peoples. 

The  Christian  stockholder  is  not  a  policeman.  But  it 

is  his  responsibility  to  see  that  the  companies  he 

supports  with  his  money  are  concerned  about  their 

employees,  about  equal  opportunity,  about  putting 

minority   people  in   leadership   positions,   and  are 

seeking  to  eliminate  structures  that  help  bind  and 

oppress  men. 

A  related  issue  currently  being  considered  is  that 
of  investmenu  in  companies  that  do  business  in 
South  Africa.  A  look  at  the  General  Conference 
Investment  Fund  shows  holdings  in  19  companies 
with  major  investments  in  South  Africa.  Many 
aspects  of  the  question  are  complicated.  But  some 
are  not.  South  Africa  is  not  the  only  nation  in  the 
world  with  problems  of  racial  justice.  Nonetheless, 
it  is  one  of  the  few  nations  in  which  an  official 
policy  of  white  supremacy  is  in  action.  It  imposes 
inferior  status  on  some  of  God's  children  solely  on 
the  basis  of  their  color.  Apartheid  uansposes  what 
the  Christian  knows  to  be  wrong  into  a  right 

Several  issues  are  involved  here:  the  policies  of 
the  South  African  government,  the  policies  of 
American  corporation  in  South  Africa,  and  the 
effea  which  American  business  may  have  on  South 
African  policies. 

The  first  issue  seems  clear.  In  South  Africa,  19 
percent  of  the  people-all  whites— impose  their  will 
upon  the  blacks  and  coloreds  who  make  up  the  rest 
of  the  population.  Their  doctrine  is  white 
supremacy.  "We  want  to  keep  South  Africa  white 
. . .  'keeping  it  white'  can  mean  only  one  thing, 
namely  white  dominance,  not  'leadership,'  not 
'guidance,'  but 'control,'  'supremacy.'  "^ 
■k  Only  one  conclusion  can  be  made.  "Based  on  our 
y  understanding  of  the  Scriptures  and  our  firsthand 
knowledge  of  the  situation  in  South  Africa,  we  are 
convinced  that  any  cooperation  with  or  strengthen- 
ing of  apartheid  is  contrary  to  the  fundamentals  of 
Christianity."^ 

The  next  issue  is  more  difficult  Are  American 
corporations,  despite  government  policies,  making  a 
positive  contribution  toward  the  improvement  of 
conditions  for  blacks  in  South  Africa?  Or  are  they 
simply  fitting  in  with  the  prevailing  practices  of 
their  South  African  counterparts? 

The  companies  say  they  are  improving  things. 
Polaroid  Corporation,*  after  considerable  debate, 
decided  lo  remain  in  South  Africa.  On  January  13, 
1971,  Polaroid  took  full-page  ads  in  27  newspapers 
to  explain  their  position.  They  announced  plans  to 
"improve  dramatically  the  salaries  and  other  bene- 
fits of  their  non-white  employees"  and  "u-ain  non- 


white  employees  for  imporUnt  |obs  in  the  com- 
bes of  their  business  associates.  They  argued  that 
?o^Lave  the  country  would  leave  them  with  no  hope 
of  changing  anything  there 

After  one  year,  Polaroid  announced  that  it  was 
r^nt  nu  ne  its  program,  concluding,  "Although  ,n  a 
«ar's  t  me  the  vlble  effects  on  other  companies 
^ro  r  ex  errment  have  been  limi^d^e  praaiu 
achievement,  in  salaries,  benefiB  f""  edu^'^"^ 
have  shown  what  can  be  done.  In  this  respect  trie 
experiment    has    exceeded    the    expectations    of 

"'Maii'y  others  disagree.  Some  other  examples  of 

the  behavior  of  American  corporations  ,n  South 

Africa  are  worth  noting.  Newmount  Mining,  vvhich 

conuols   the   Tsumeb   Mine,  earned    $15  million 

profit  in  1970,  but  paid  black  workers  an  average 

income  of  $28  a  month.=  Surting  w^e  for  blacks 

in  Chrysler's  Cape  Town   plant  is  .f«  a  nionth 

Minimum  subsistence  level  for  a  family  is  $106  per 

month.  In  the  Caltex  plant,  seven  of  eight  ffadeso' 

jobs  available  to  blacks  pay  wages  below  this  level. 

In  addition:  ... 

American  corporations  reflect  the  apartheid 

system  in  their  general  practices.  All  facilities  in 

U  S.  corporations'  plants  in  South  Africa  have: 

a)  racially  segregated  (and  not  equal)  facilities;  b) 

all  the  best  jobs  are  reserved  for  whites,  and  no 

black   man  may   ever   supervise   any   white,  no 

matter  what  his  skills  are;  c)  the  black  trade 

unions,  such  as  they  are,  are  powerless;  arid  d) 

employment  of  men  under  the  migratory  labor 

system  who  may  not  live  with  their  wives  and 

families. 

All  of  this  is  not  surprising  when  one  discovers 
that  in  a  study  conducted  by  the  Charles  St. 
Thomas  Group  in  1959,  only  10  percent  of  US 
businessmen  interviewed  in  South  Africa  felt  that 
apartheid  was  wrong.' 

Others  argue  that  even  this  avoids  the  real  ques- 
tion. 


In  a  country  like  South  Africa,  where  the 
ruling  class  is  united  in  its  determination  to 
defend  the  principle  of  white  supremacy,  eco- 
nomic expansion  can  be  controlled  and  directed 
to  ensure  the  preservation  of  the  established 
"national  idea"  of  those  in  power.  Since  the 
whole  purpose  of  apartheid  is  to  defend  the 
existing  power  structure,  which  ensures  total 
political,  military  and  economic  control  in  the 
hands  of  a  minority,  any  meaningful  changes  in 
apartheid  would  mean  the  eventual  abandonment 
of  white  supremacy.' 

Some  churches  have  been  willing  to  act  on  this 
question.  Last  year,  five  major  denominations- 
Episcopalians,  Presbyterians,  Baptists,  United 
Church  of  Christ,  and  Disciples  of  Christ-held  a 
press  conference  to  announce  that  they  would 
submit  similar  resolutions  to  six  major  U.S.  corpora- 
tions that  do  business  in  South  Africa-Gulf  Oil 
Mobil  Oil,  Goodyear,  GE,  IBM,  and  GM.  Rather 
than  asking  for  withdrawal,  the  resolutions  asked 
for  full  disclosure  of  operations,  to  see  if  their 
presence  has  indeed  been  a  positive  contribution  to 
the  country's  progress.  It  was  the  first  step  in  a 
campaign  calculated  to  raise  public  opinion  about 
American  business  presence  in  South  Africa. 

According  to  Reverend  Everett  W.  Francis, 
public  affairs  officer  for  the  Episcopal  Church's 
Executive  Council  and  one  of  the  prime  movers  of 
the  action,  they  "don't  expect  to  succeed.  We're 
filing  the  resolution  because  it's  right"  But  already 
IBM  and  Mobil  have  voluntarily  agreed  to  disclose 
the  details  of  their  operations  in  South  Africa,  and 
the  proxy  statement  will  not  be  presented  at  their 
meetings. 

In  conclusion,  the  Church  is  the  only  institution 
that  doesn't  have  to  protect  its  capital.  For  the  life 
of  the  church  depends,  not  on  its  monetary  success, 
but  on  its  faithfulness  in  following  its  Lord.  If  we 
are  as  certain  of  the  future  as  we  say  that  we  are,  we 
should  be  free  to  live  boldly  and  creatively  in  the 
present 


Some  analysts  today,  including  Polaroid  Cor- 
poration and  the  U.S.  State  Department  are  pre- 
tending that  if  General  Motors  and  other  U.S. 
companies  suddenly  became  equal-opportunity 
employers  in  South  Africa  they  would  no  longer 
be  accomplices  in  apartheid.  Of  course  such  a 
claim  only  presents  half  the  story.  Would  a  U.S. 
company  in  Nazi  Germany  providing  strength 
and  health  to  the  German  economy  be  freed 
from  all  responsibility  if  it  equitably  employed 
lews  on  its  staff  in  the  German  subsidiary?  The 
thought  boggles  the  mind!  To  the  extent  that 
U.S.  corporations  are  agents  which  support  and 
strengthen  the  South  African  economy  they  are 
also  responsible  for  the  strength  of  apartheid.  A 
healthy  economy  strengthens  white  control, 
while  imperviousness  to  economic  sanctions, 
white  ability  to  keep  blacks  oppressed.  As  U.S. 
companies  contribute  toward  that  economic 
strength  they  become  automatic  accomplices  in 
perpetuating  the  racist  status  quo,  a  fact  which 
no  amount  of  Polaroid-type  public  relations  in 
the  U.S.A.  can  wipe  out"^ 

A  final  consideration  is  the  effect  upon  the 
company  itself.  Any  investment  in  South  Africa  by 
a  U.S.  company  involves  the  expenditure  of  con- 
siderable capital.  Whatever  the  intent  of  an  invest- 
ment, when  the  company  begins  to  profit  from  its 
investment,  it  ends  up  with  a  vested  interest  in  the 
economic  and  political  stability  of  the  country 
where  its  plants  operate.  So  U.S.  business  interests 
become  tied  up  with  the  interests  of  the  minority 
which  imposes  its  will  on  South  Africa. 

The  last  issue  is  debatable  as  wellr  It  is  easy-and 
conscience  soothing-to  believe  that  by  being  in 
South  Africa,  a  business  can  help  to  influence  and 
change  government  policies.  "No  sacrifice  is 
demanded,  no  conflict,  no  suuggle;  just  up  the 
investment  and  the  profits,  and  the  change  will 
inevitably  come."'  But  this  ignores  the  real 
dynamics  of  the  struggle  in  South  Africa, 


I  believe  that  the  current  policy  of  the  Seventh- 
day  Adventist  Church  in  its  corporate  investments 
represents  both  unfaithful  witness  and  untaithru 
stewardship.  I  believe  that  our  use  of  investment 
monies  compromises  the  gospel  we  preach.  Ano 
thus  I  believe  that  it  is  an  important  issue  for  every 
member.  ,    ,,, 

It  may   seem   like  a  small   thing.   But  as  jes" 
reminded  us:  "He  that  is  faithful  in  that  which 
least  is  faithful  also  in  much"  (Luke  16:10).  Andii 
we  are  not  faithful  in  that  which  is  least,  it  will  « 
impossible  for  us  to  be  faithful  in  that  whicn 
much.     Q

Dr.  Key  has  had  broad  experience  on 
communications  media.  He  has  a  Ph.D. 
in. communications,  has  taught  at  the 
universities  of  Denver,  Kansas,  Boston 
and  Puerto  Rico;  has  been  a  public  relations 
director,  radio  producer,  corporate,  and 
TV  consultant,  and  former  head  of  an 
international  research  and  development 
corporation.  Dr.  Key  is  coming  from  the 
University  of  Western  Ontario  where  he 
is  currently  a  professor  of  journalism  and 
President  of  Mediaprobe:  Center  for  Study 
of  Media,  Inc. 


At  7:30  p.m.  last  Monday  night,  the 
tenth  regular  SA  Senate  meeting  was 
called  to  order  by  parliamentarian 
Stephen  Jones.  Before  discussing  the  is- 
sues outlined  in  the  agenda,  the  floor 
was  given  to  David  Bryant  who  clarified 
first  semester  actions  of  the  Recreation 
Committee,  which  was  recently  dissolved. 
After  explaining  many  accomplishments 
of  the  committee  of  which  he  was  chair- 
man, Mr.  Bryant  also  explained  the  reason 
for  no  Hawaiian  flagball  all-star  game  and 
why  no  trophies  were  given  out  during 
first  semester.  An  insufficient  number  of 
team  captains  returned  M.V.P.  (most  val- 
uable player)  slips,  accounting  for  the 
lack  of  an  all-star  game,  while  a  passage 
was  read  from  Mrs.  White  about  the  school 
policy  concerning  the  giving  of  trophies. 
According  to  Mrs.  White,  the  purpose  of 
recreation  is  not  to  bring  glory  to  one's 
self,  but  to  refresh  and  build  up  mentally 
and  physically. 

The  first  point  of  the  agenda  was  pre- 
sented by  Haskell  Williams,  who  reported 
on  the  activities  of  the  Student  Initiative/ 
Resources  Fund.  As  one  will  recall,  $200 
was  appropriated  to  tliis  fund  as  an  SA 
project,  for  the  use  of  students  who  need 
financial  assistance  for  some  project  they 
themselves  are  involved  in.  Mr.  Williams

revealed  how  twelve  students  have  recently 
started  a  project  called  the  Summit  Pro- 
ject, which  uses  the  heaJth-evangeHsm  ap- 
proach in  giving  bible  studies.  They  have 
asked  for  an  appropriation  from  the  fund 
to  defray  expenses  they  have  encountered 
for  materials,  etc. 

Roland  Marsh  then  posed  the  question 
on  the  second  point  of  the  agenda,  "Should 
the  responsibilities  of  the  President  and 
Vice-President  be  combined  into  one  ex- 
ecutive office?"  Although  the  President 
has  no  specific  duties  outlined  in  the 
working  policies  of  the  constitution,  it  is 
his  duty  to  supervise  all  the  various  com- 
mittees under  Mm  and  make  sure  every- 
thing is  functioning  properly  and  flowing 
smoothly  in  the  Student  Association.  It 
was  decided  tliat  the  responsibility  and 
work  entailed  in  each  of  these  important 
offices  would  be  too  much  of  a  burden 
on  one  individual. 

Duane  Hallock  then  put  in  a  request 
on  behalf  of  the  Southern  Accent  for 
funds  to  bind  all  old  issues  of  the  Accent. 
Thirty  years  of  back  issues  need  to  be 
bound,  and  several  years  can  be  bound 
in  one  volume.  The  estimated  cost  was 
$7.50  per  volume,  or  approximately 
%  1 1 2.50  total  cost.  After  brief  discussion, 
this  proposal  was  voted  upon  and  passed. 

The  last  area  discussed  before  adjourn- 
ment was  the  announcement  of  the  sched- 
ule for  the  election  of  next  year's  SA  of- 
ficers. The  schedule  approved  was  as  fol- 
lows:

I  being  here  last  year  with    Trails  it  tne 
Mountain  West." 


TOs  past  semester  the  SA  Senate  voted 
(on  studem  approval  by  poll)  to  set  up  a 
Student  Initiative/Resources  Fund  with  an 
iitial  appropriation  of  S200.  The  pur- 
pose of  this  fund  is  to  allow  studems  to 
become  involved  with  community  activ- 
ities in  a  variety  of  manners.  Those  cur- 
rently  involved  or  just  contemplating  such 
a  project  (or  small  endeavor),  should  check 
with  the  Initiative/Resources  committee 
for  fmancial  support.  The  committee  is 
small  enoi^  (three  members)  to  act 
quickly  upon  requests,  yet  it  has  the  sup- 
Sort  of  the  SA  Senate  as  its  sponsor.  The 
members  are  Nita  Haight,  Gary  Eldndge, 
and  HaskeU  WUUams  (Chaiman). 

One  example  of  such  a  plan  is  the  Sum- 
mit project.  Several  individuals  (the 
committee  operates  on  a  "no  name 
poUcy)  had  Bible  Study  interests  m  the 
aea  and  others  had  different  types  of  con- 
tacts   These  dozen  students  decided  to 
try  a  low  key  "health  approach"  to  evari- 
eeUsm   First  they  distributed  home-made 
bread  of  their  own  and  asked  if  the  fami- 
hes  would  be  interested  in  learning  to  bake 
bread.  There  was  good  interest,  so  they 
are  continuing  to  plan  such  a  "bread 


school."  In  *e  meantime,  they  irmted 
the  chUdren  of  these  families  to  SMC  lor 
a  "natural  foods"  supper,  consistmg  ot 
fruits,  nuts,  etc.  Further  plans  are  being

Chief  Keller  praises 
Police  Reserve  Force 


Chief  Douglas  E.  Keller  has  given  the 
liighest  praise  and  professional  tribute 
to  the  members  of  the  Collegedale 
Police  Reserve  Force.  Members  of  this 
force  serve  without  pay  and  since  they 
were  organized  by  Chief  Keller  and 
placed  on  active  duty  July  1,  1973,  these 
Reserve  Officers  patrol  an  average  of 
500  to  800  hours  each  month,  volunteer- 
mg  their  time  in  the  Police  Service  for 
the  members  of  their  community. 

Each  member  of  the  force  have  now 
completed  approximately  300  hours  ol 
training  through  the  CoUegedale  Police 
Training  School,  on  general  and  teclmical 


police  subjects.  The  Detective  Division 
is  comprised  of  four  police  detectives, al' 
volunteers.  Some  serve  our  comniiinily  | 
by  working  30  or  more  hours  a  week. 
Each  member  of  the  Police  Reserve 
takes  the  same  oath  as  the  regular  ofricerl 
which  states  in  part,  "My  fundamenul 
duty  is  to  serve  mankind,  to  safeguard 
ives  and  property,  to  protect  the  iniio- 
jent  against  deception,  the  weak  agaiiisl  | 
oppression  or  intimidation,  and  llie 
peaceful  against  violence  or  disorder, 
and  to  respect  the  constitutional  tiglils 
of  all  mankind  to  liberty,  equality.and 
justice.'

tliievcs  to  tweak  the  law.  But  never  the  Pies, 
idency'  How  can  law  and  order  hold  sway  in 
the  streets  of  New  York  and  Chicago  when  so 
many  citizens  are  dubious  about  law  and  older 
at  1600  Pennsylvania  Ave.?  Possibly  it's  tune 
we  got  to  the  bottom  of  this  mess  once  and 
£oi  aD.  Surely,  a  year  of  Wateigate  is  too  much 
To  entertain  the  idea  that  Piesident  Nixon 
may  be  culpable  is  difficult  for  many  Adven- 
tists  because  most  of  us  who  voted,  voted  for 
Urn    But  at  a  time  like  this  oui  conservative 
ideology  and  RepubUcan  politics  (two  philos- 
ophies which  sometimes  appeal  to  be  bed- 
feUows  with  the  leUgion  of  many  Adventists) 
should  give  way  to  the  upholding  and  en- 
forcing of  molality  in  our  government.  As 
Editw  K.  H.  Wood  perceptively  pointed  out 
in  a  recent  Review  and  Heiald  editorial  on 
Watergate:  "Christians  should  be  wholly 
objective  and  cleai-eyed.  They  should  be  on 
the  side  of  right  and  truth  and  justice  no 
matter  who  may  be  involved-family,  church 
Wends,  business  associates,  or  political 
leaders."  (1  know  of  one  good  Adventist 
here  in  the  area  who  has  refused  to  read 
this  R.  4  H.  editorial.) 

I  believe  we  Christians  should  avoid  too 
dose  identification  with  any  political 
personality  or  party  which  would  tend  to 
bDnd  us  to  questions  of  right  and  uiith  and 
jMtice.  Inteiestin^y,  Jesus,  our  supreme  Uader, 
had  no  flattering  defense  for  "that  fox"  Herod. 
And  John  the  Beloved  was  unafraid  to  speak  of 
gome  as  the  Babylon  of  his  day. 

How  do  we  get  rid  of  Wateigate?  How  can 
America  remove  suspicion  from  the  minds  of  so 
many  of  iu  citizens?  How  can  the  law  of  the 
country  be  shown  to  apply  equally  for  all?  How 
can  Americans  show  they're  against  all  crime 
CTeiywhere?  Possibly  the  impeachment  pro- 
cenSng  is  the  best  allemative  out  of  this  mess.

E)eai  Editors: 

WeU,  you  did  it  again-even  exceeded  your- 
selves. More  kudos!  Perhaps  this  is  why  1  have 
been  picking  up  hints  from  a  variety  of  sources 
that  1  owe  you  a  chocolate  shake.  My  first  re- 
action to  these  rumors  was  one  of  curiosity: 
how  could  that  deduction  possibly  have  been 
made  from  my  previous  letter  to  you?  Upon 
re-reading  said  lettei,  I  am  constrained  to  admit 
that  my  curiosity  was  transformed  into  mysti- 
fied puzzlement. 

Here  are  a  few  reasons  which  constitute  the 
foundation  of  my  perplexity:   1)  the  lettei 
doesn't  say  that  the  shake  is  to  be  given  TO 
anyone,  2)  nor  does  it  say  that  anyone-for  ex- 
ample, me!-will  purchase  it,  3)  or  if  he  does 
purchase  it  that  lie  may  not  drink  it  himself, 
4)  and  finally,  1  can't  make  out  whether  (if 
indeed  the  shake  IS  to  be  awarded)  it  is  to  en- 
courage you  to  do  a  bcttei  oi  worse  job  on  the 
next  issue!  In  fact,  although  I  hate  to  concede 
it,  the  greater  part  of  that  letter  seems  to  be 
rathei  ambiguous.  And  you  know  as  well  as  1 
that  ex  nihilo  nihil  fit. 

However,  just  to  demonstiate  to  you  that 
my  heart  is  not  cold  and  calculating,  but  warm 
anxious  to  lespond  to  the  spirit  of  the  law 
rather  than  the  letter-just  to  show  this,  I  am 
enclosing  enough  money  so  that  everyone  on 
you  staff  may  drink  a  milkshake.  You  may 
even  choose  the  flavor  you  prefer! 


On  February  13-15,  Dr.  Robert 
McCurdy,  instructor  of  Computer 
Science  at  SMC,  attended  a  computer 
science  conference  in  Detroit,  Mich. 

One  reason  for  the  conference  was 
to  meet  different  people  and  find  out 
I  how  each  one  meets  certain  problems 
in  computer  science. 

Also,  there  were  200  papers  pre- 
sented at  the  conference  covering  cur- 
rent research  in  computer  science.  The 
papers  were  on  educational  research, 
industry  research,  theoretical  papers  on 
frontiers  of  computer  science  such  as 
automata  theory  artificial,  intelligence, 
linguistics,  and  formal  languages.

Some  of  the  papers  were  more  rei- 
■vant  to  computer  science  al  SMi-,

P.S.  If  you  are  wondering  how  to  spend  the 
enclosed  fifty  cents,  this  is  what  you  do:  buy 
one  shake  (which  liquidates  most  of  the  money) 
and  use  the  lemainder  to  pay  the  tax  and  bribe 
the  CK  management  to  give  you  18  straws-one 
for  each  of  "Our  Ciang."

neliling  the  Adveniist 
language  school  by  teaching  three  English 
conversation  classes  and  two  Bible  classes 
each,, Jon  and  Mark  found  personal  re- 
wards as  well.  "Teaching  Bible  classes  does 
a  lot  for  the  teacher,  as  he  learns  to  rely 
on  himself  less  and  the  Holy  Spirit  more," 
says  Mark.  "Even  1  learn  a  lot  from  the  ' 
Bible  book  we  study." 

Frank  Ricks  and  Valerie  Eiken,  serving 
at  Mwami  Mission  Hospital  in  Zambia, 
Africa,  found  their  own  seredipitous  ex- 
perience. Sunday  morning,  January  6  of 
this  year,  they  were  joined  in  marriage. 

None  of  the  Student  Missionaries 
(S.  M.  's)  forget  SMC.  Frank  and  Valerie 
requested  a  copy  of  this  year's  Joker  so 
they  could  keep  up  to  date  on  the  students, 
and  Jon  and  Mark  mentioned  bow,  although 
they  are  having  a  great  time,  they  will  be 
glad  to  get  back  to  school. 

The  S.  M.  's  in  most  cases  are  expected 
to  pay  round  trip  transportation,  while  the 
■local  mission  provides  room  and  board 
during  their  stay.  After  his  term,  each 
returns  to  continue  his  education  at  the 
college  from  which  he  departed. 

To  qualify  as  a  student  missionary,  a 
person  must  have  completed  his  freshman 
year  and  have  a  2.25  GPA,  a  good  medical 
examination  record,  and  good  references 
from  both  his  friends  and  the  college.  The 
completion  of  a  first  aid  course  and  a 
close  personal  relationship  with  Christ 
are  highly  recommended. 

Anyone  interested  in  being  a  student 
missionary  should  take  a  look  at  the 
Student  Missionary  Request  Bulletin, 
1973-74  (found  at  Ihe  desks  of  the  Student 
Center,  the  library,  and  the  dorms)  which 
gives  a  brief  description  of  the  openings 
and  needs.  Application  forms  and  more

Des  Cummings   to  leave  SAAC 
to  complete  Master's  degree 


In  luaich  of  this  year  Des  Cummings, 
the  college  chaplain,  will  be  leaving  SMC 
lor  Andrews  University.   He  will  finish 
Ins  work  for  the  Master  of  Divinity  degree 
two  quarters  and  return  to  this  campus 
continue  his  ministry  in  September, 
1974. 

During  an  interview  we  asked  Eld. 
Cummings  how  his  leaving  would  affect 
ihe  religious  life  of  SMC  students.    In 
answering  he  first  outlined  his  concept 
,)f  his  own  role  before  pointing  out  that 
he  will  only  be  gone  for  six  weeks  of 
egular  school  session  this  term  and  will 
be  back  before  college  begins  in  the  fall. 
Many  students  may  scarcely  notice  his 
absence  because  of  the  structure  of  his 
work.   He  defines  his  own  work  as  im- 
plementing the  aims  of  the  MV  Society  - 
0  win,  to  grow,  to  relate  -  through  three 
ictivities:    (1)  Personal  confrontation. 
(2)  Preaching  the  Word.   (3)  Coordination 
of  the  one-to-one  efforts  of  the  faculty 


at  large,  i.e.  deans  and  teachers. 

Though  he  lays  great  stress  on  his 
personal  contact  with  individual  students. 
Bid.  Cummings  obviously  cannot  reach 
the  entire  student  body  this  way.   So  he 
puts  a  lot  of  study  and  prayer  into  the 
second  area  of  activity,  preaching. 

It  is  the  third  area  of  his  work  (hat 
Eld.  Cummings  says  explains  why  he 
won't  leave  a  noticeable  hole  in  the 
religious  life  here. when  he  leaves.   He 
does  not  see  himself  as  the  sole  agent 
for  Gospel  concern  on  campus.   Rather, 
he  sees  himself  as  a  part  of  a  team.   He 
wants  to  plan  so  that  he  can  be  sure 
ihat  every  student  will  have  personal  con- 
lact  with  someone  interested  in  that 
student's  relationship  with  Jesus. 

No  new  personnel  will  be  employed 
>o  cover  Eld.  Cummings'  present  position; 
current  staff  members  will  share  in  filling; 
his  place.

on  the  line  "/  love  a  parade."  Eld. 
Cummings  will  relate  what  Christ's 
coming  means  to  him  personally.  He  will 
stress  that  after  a  parade  there  is  still 
misery,  but  after  the  coming  of  Christ 
misery  will  be  no  longer. 

Eld.  Cummings,  the  father  of  Eld. 
Des  Cummings,  Jr.,  SMC's  College  Chap- 
lin, has  previously  served  as  MV  Sec- 
retary for  the  Southern  Union,  and  has 
worked  with  the  MV  department  in 
California  and  Washington  State.  He  is 
also  the  originator  of  the  conference- 
wide  Bible  Conference  which  has  gained 
widespread  popularity. 

Elder  Cummings  has  been  active  in 
working  with  Adventist  young  people, 
receiving  much  success  in  his  relations 
with  the  youth.  -Roland  Marsh

jdkei  Elder  Desmond  Cummings, 
i,  president  of  the  Georgia-Cumber- 
tiiil Conference,  with  the  theme  of 
'helical  Godliness."  Some  of  the 
[opics covered  will  be  assurance  of 
almion,  faith,  prayer,  and  the  relation- 
iip  of  the  Holy  Spirit. 

The  morning  meetings  will  be  talks

"Fiddler  on  the 

Roof" 
to  be  shown 
Saturday  night 


The  frlm  version  of  "Fiddler,"  which 
was  produced  in  1970,  will  be  shown  in 
the  college  gym,  March  23,  at  8:45  p.m. 
Admission  for  everyone  will  be  75  cents. 

In  this  story,  which  takes  place  where 
the  Russian  Empire  is  on  the  verge  of 
revolution,  1905,  Man  and  his  relation- 
ship with  his  family,  his  people,  and  the 
enemies  of  his  people,  is  brought  out. 

Traditions  are  breaking  down,  and 
values  are  confused.  The  small  town, 
Anatevka,  inhabited  by  Russian  Jews, 
is  striving  for  pride  and  dignity.  Their 
unique  life  styles,  and  feelings,  such 
as  their  special  relationship  with  God 
is  reflected  in  their  daily  living. 

The  thought  behind  this  fascinating 
story  is  that  though  it  actually  takes 
place  in  a  small  village  in  Czarist  Russia, 
it  really  takes  place  everywhere. 


TheE.A.  Anderson  lecture  series, 
iWposed  of  10  lectures  spread  over  the 
'filler  senrester  of  each  year,  are  pre- 
aedby  the  Department  of  Business 
Mministration  and  sponsored  by  a  grant 
imAllanta  businessman  E.  A.  Anderson 
The  talks  were  begun  during  the  1971- 
"'""'  year  with  two  objectives  in 


'!  school  V 


Sensing  the  limitations  inherent  in 
having  only  three  professors  in  the  Busi- 
ness Administration  Department,  it  was 
felt  that  some  opportunity  was  needed  to 
interject  new  thought  periodically. 

Outside  lecturers  could  add  informa- 
tion not  included  in  the  present  curriculun 
in  fields  such  as  real  estate,  salesmanship, 
insurance,  manufacturing,  etc. 


*WHO  WILL  TACKLE. 
#  fe^         THE  MOHSTEK  ?* 


The  series  operates  on  an  annual  budget 
around  $3,000  according  to  Jan  Rushing, 
professor  ot  business  and  co-ordinator 
for  the  series.  The  seminars  are  held  in 
Summerour  Hall,  Room  105,  at  8  p.m. 
almost  every  Thursday  night. 

They  are  open  to  everyone  though 
some  would  obviously  be  more  interest- 
ing to  business  majors  because  of  their 
specific  nature. 

Any  student  can  earnitwo  semester 
hours  of  credit  by  attending  all  the 
lectures  and  passing  a  final  test  on  the 
material.  All  business  majors  are  required 
to  take  it  once,  but  it  may  be  repeated 
for  more  credit  as  many  times  as  desired. 

Speakers,  both  Adventist  and  non-Ad 
ventist,  are  sometimes  local,  sometimes 
brought  in  from  anywhere  in  the  U.S.. 
Topics  covered  this  year  have  included 
"Bankruptcy,"  "Financing  A  Small  Busi- 
ness," and  "Insurance."  On  the  agenda 
are:  ,,     . 

March  21 -Banking,  This  will  sub-

Pantsuits 
rejected  by 
Faculty   Senate 

The  proposal  to  allow  pant  attire  to 
be  worn  by  women  was  voted  down  by 
the  Faculty  Senate  in  the  March  4  session. 
The  proposal  would  have  allowed  the 
women  to  wear  pantsuits  or  dress  slacks 
to  the  hbrary,  cafeteria,  chapels,  and 
classes,  if  they  would  so  choose. 

During  the  session  the  senate  chair- 
man. Dr.  Knittel,  read  several  letters 
which  had  been  sent  to  him  by  students 
interested  in  this  issue.  All  of  the  letters 
which  had  been  sent  and  signed  were  in 
opposition  to  the  proposal.  There  were 
no  signed  letters  which  were  in  favor  of 
the  proposal.  . 

As  the  proposal  was  written,  the  is- 
sue was  not  really  whether  to  allow  pant- 
suits, but  pant  attire.  Since  pantsuits  are 
generally  worn  by  women  who  are  past 
their  college  days,  and  slacks  and  jeans 
are  worn  by  the  college  women,  it  was 
generally  felt  that  the  decision  was 
whether  or  not  to  allow.  Levis  as  class- 
room attire.  The  proposal  was  handily 
voted  down.

RIP. 


Tte  vear-.  Student  Association  is  rapidly  heading  tor  a  most 
pro^enrposition  on  the  endangered  list  that  represents  an- 
fanals  cuirentlv  on  the  brink  of  extinction 

The  Student  Association  is  merely  a  hollow  echo  chamber 
.tee  s^dent  reform  prbpositions  can  me^ly  "e  bandied  about. 
Thoughts  of  implementing  school  policy  changes  through  the 
Sl^  forgotten.  CoiSequently,  it  is '"  ^ve  d-iger  o* 
being  tilted  from  the  prominent  position  of  resent  may 
have  held  mam  vean  before  our  attendance  at  SMC 

Records  ^h6w  that  most  of  the  SA's  energy  has  been  dxr- 
ectrr to««d  activities  such  as  elections,  some  pmgrams,  and 
Sification  within  the  senate  instead  of  projects  that  could 
benefit  the  majority  of  the  student  body. 

It  may  be  noted  that  out  of  all  the  time  spent  by  the  SA 
on  elections,  around  70%  of  the  student  body  did  not  even 
bother  to  vote  in  the  last  SA  election.  „^„„pH 

TWs  oast  Wednesday  evening,  the  situation  was  worsened 
bySt  that  Aere  weren't  enough  senators  present  to  even 

ferBi  a  quorum.  o  »    «- 

In  conjunction  with  the  upcoming  elections,  SA  ottic^ 
had  advised  candidates  interested  in  running  for  election  that 
they  must  file  a  petition  of  student  signatures.  Later,  atter 
many  signatures  had  been  solicited,  it  was  brought  to  the  at- 
tention of  certain  SA  officers  that  this  action  was  unnecessary 
and  that  candidates  need  only  to  file  a  platform  accordmg  to 
the  working  policies  of  the  SA.  It  might  be  interesting  to  note 
that  in  the  last  election  the  required  procedures  were  even 
further  disregarded  when  the  two  people  writing  this  article 
were  placed  on  the  ballot  when  they  failed  to  fde  a  platform 
for  candidacy.  . .     i. 

Student  involvement  in  SA  has  reached  a  low  ebb  when 
on  SA  presidential  candidate  withdraws  his  platform  because 
competition  is  to  stiff  and  when  the  only  candidate  running  for 
Southern  Accent  editor  has  not  even  actively  participated  in  the 
forlmulation  of  a  college  newspaper  at  SMC.  We  are  not  fry- 
ing to  set  up  these  individuals  or  objects  of  ridicule,  but 
rather  to  illustrate  how  the  competitive  drive  to  attain  an 
SA  office  is  absent  in  most  SMC  students.  In  other  words, 
the  problem  of  the  SA  is  not  the  lack  of  qualified  personnel 
but  rather  the  lack  of  interest  in  SA  functions  among  the 
student  populace.  However,  the  notion  that  students  attend 
college  to  obtain  an  education  and  not  to  pursue  a  pol- 
itical career  is  not  to  difficult  to  understand.  But,  the 
question  that  comes  to  mind  with  such  a  great  disinterest 
to  the  SA,  why  should  so  much  money  and  so  much  effort 
on  the  part  of  a  few  continue? 

The  question  really  is,  why  even  have  an  SA?

Dear  Editor: 

Altliough  this  letter  may  appear  to  be 
writlerr  by  a  "biased"  faculty  member,  it  is 
no,  1  have  been  an  Adventist  s.nce  June 
1973  I  am  thankful  that  God  has  led  me 
to  the  true  message  and  there  is  no  way  for 
me  to  keep  this  wonderful  truth  pent  up 
inside  like  many  of  the  students  here  do 

Beards,  or  no  beards;  short  skirts  or  long 
skiru;  pantsuits,  or  no  pantsuits...selt,  sell, 
self  me  me  me!!!  That's  all  I  hear  around 
this'canipus.  This  school  is  dedicated  to 
God;  not  to  our  selfish  needs!  We  who  are 
supposed  to  have  claimed  Christ  as  ruler  of 
our  lives  are  supposed  to  be  witnesses  and 
ambassadors  for  Him.  The  truth  is^wheter 
we  realize  it  or  not,  we  are  either  His  repre- 
sentatives, or  His  "misrepresentatives 

Paul  said  in  1  Cor.  9:20,  "And  unto  the 
jews  I  became  as  a  Jew,  that  1  might  gam 
the  Jews..."  We  are  living  in  the  state  ol 
Tennessee,  m  the  year  1974.  Our  society  has 
set  up  its  own  standards  and  ideals  concemmg 
what  "Christians"  should  be  Uke.  These 
ideals  may  not  be  attainable,  but,  nevertheless, 
we  are  bemg  judgf  d  by  them. 

Society  is  changing,  and  we  will  to  some 
degree  change  with  it.  But  the  whole  problem 
of  beards,  short  skuts,  pantsuits,  etc.,  must 
be  handled  m  two  ways.  First,  would  Christ 
approve  of  it?  Would  we  dress  that  way  or 
act  that  way  in  front  of  Christ?  Would  we 
dress  that  way  or  act  that  way  while  we  were 
knockmg  on  doors  trying  to  get  others  to 
hear  the  gospel?  Second,  would  society 
approve  of  it?  Has  aU  of  society  accepted 
beards,  short  skirts,  and  pantsuits  as  an 
approved  mode  for  Christian  witnesses. 

It's  not  whether  or  not  beards  are  Bibhcal 
that  matters  in  1974.  We  are  a  product  of 
our  society  and  our  society,  to  a  great  degree, 
has  not  accepted  beards  as  suitable  in  their 
"ideal"  concept  of  a  Christian.  If  the  beard 
would  harm  our  Christian  witness,  then  we 
I  should  leave  it  off  until  our  society  accepts  it. 


letters  to  the  editor 


Short  skirts  and  tiglit  pantsuits  are  both 
sexually  exciting  to  many  males.  They  lead 
to  spiritual  fornication  which  has  the  same 
weight  as  physical  fornication.  This  is  hard 
for  a  femide  to  understand  because  they  are 
not  stimulated  in  the  same  way  that  males 
are.  Also,  our  society  has  not  yet  approved 
of  short  skirts  as  fitting  for  those  who  claim 
to  testify  for  Christ  in  their  life. 

When  we  look  at  the  problem  in  this  view, 
the  key  question  is  not,  "I  want  these  things ' 
because  other  people  do  it  and  because  it  is 
my  right."  Instead  let's  look  at  them  in  the 
context  of,  "Will  these  things  harm  my  test- 
imony and  service  for  Christ?  Can  1  effectively 
witness  for  Christ  to  the  majority  of  society 
,with  a  beard,  short  skirt,  or  pantsuit?"  Have 
you  prayed  about  it? 

Let's  put  Christ  and  His  kingdom  fust  (for 
a  change?).  _jjuss  i^^ny

We  at  Insight  are  hopeful  that  student 
missionaries  from  your  campus  who  have  som 
writing  ability  will  take  time  to  record  and 
write  up  those  outstanding  experiences  that 
come  along  and  send  them  to  us.  To  guide 
such  students  who  are  willing,  we  will  send  a 
copy  of  our  "Information  for  Writers   to 
everyone  who  sends  us  a  note  requestinB  one. 

We  are  also  interested  in  action-oriented 
black  and  white  photos  and  color  slides  or 
transparencies  that  teU  a  story.  One  good 
example  is  the  Feb.  18  cover  of  the  Nortti

I,  Is  a  fact  of  life  tliat  college  students, 
in  the  arms  of  alma  mater,  develop 
*"5liar  enthusiasms.  When  again  will

VIEWPOINT 
STREAKIN' 


Con 


were  told)  was  that  social  conventions 
are  out  of  date,  restrictive  to  the 
spirit,  and  even  traumatizing,  And 
when  the  kids  took  off  their  clothes 
in  public,  tliey  did  it  not  only  in 
contempt,  but  with  an  extreme 
casualness. 

No  more.  By  streaking,  by  making 
a  mad  dash  in  the  buff  across  quad- 
rangles and  gymnasiums,  the  kids 
are  telling  us  they  recognize  what 
the  proprieties  are,  what  kind  of 
behavior  they  know  in  their  hearts  is 
decent  and  responsible-and  what 
is  not. 

Streaking  is  like  a  certain  kind 
of  joke  that  honors  its  target.  By 
seeming  to  flout  the  conventions, 
the  streakers  are  really  approving 
them.  We  need  to  start  worrying 
only  when  the  streakers  stop  running. 


Some  people  might  argue  that  Adam 
and  Eve  were  the  first  to  ever  go  "streakin.' 
Perhaps  this  is  true,  but  it  is  interesting  to 
note  that  they  were  streaking  to  find  a 
few  fig  leaves  to  cover  themselves.  I  think 
if  1  read  the  story  correctly  they  felt 
terribly  ashamed  in  the  naked  condition. 
But  why  did  this  barely  righteous  couple 
experience  shame  when  they  realized 
themselves  naked?  It  is  likely  that  Adam 
and  Eve  possessed  a  very  keen  conscience 
that  would  cause  them  both  to  feel  shame 
even  in  the  presence  of  each  other.  There- 
fore, if  man  back  then,  possessing  a  keen 
conscience,  felt  ashamed  for  being  seen 
naked,  what  has  become  of  man's  keen 
conscience  that  would  prevent  such  out 
breaks  or  disorders  as  "streaking?"  It 
would  seem,  that  when  man  has  lost  his 
state  of  keen  conscience,  that  when  it 
no  longer  controls  his  actions  man  is

that  might  be  considered  is  the  loss  of 
respect  one  has  for  liimself.  As  we  all 
uled  by  the  same  power  that  controls 
nany  demoniacs,  their  beastly  passions, 
guess  you  might  say  I'm  looking  on  the 
leavy  side  of  the  subject  when  I  could 
.asily  look  on  the  light  side  and  laugh. 
Yes,  I  would  laugh  at  a  group  of  streak- 
Ts,  moonshining  by  me  as  if  in  a  parade, 
Itut  it  would  be  my  carnal  nature  that 
aughs,  my  spiritual  nature  would  cry. 

Looking  through  spiritual  eye  glasses 
what  are  the  real  objections  to  streaking 
besides  plain  old  common  sense?  Prob- 
.ibly  the  foremost  argument   is  the  de- 
moralizing effect  it  places  upon  God's 
ideal  for  fallen  man.  Ever  since  that 
lirst  sin  in  Eden,  God  has  sent  message 
.ifter  message  by  prophets  and  by  his 
)wn  son  to  try  and  restore  man  to  a 
modest  and  perfect  being.  Running 
laked  through  a  crowd  of  spectators 
liardly  uplifts  man  before  God  or  his 
'ellow  human  beings.  Another  point 
Know  overt  acts  or  words  many  times 
nave  a  larger  impact  on  the  one  doing 
:hem  than  upon  others.  Thus,  when  a 
oerson  does  a  demoralizing  act,  such  as 
streaking,  it  cuts  deep  into  whatever 
is  left  of  his  own  self-esteem  and  opens 
the  door  to  other  acts  of  the  same  man- 
ner. 

Besides  the  general  philosophy  of  the 
Plan  of  Redemption  and  die  uplifting  of 
humanity,  what  does  the  Bible  say  point- 
blank  about  "streaking?"  Of  course,  the 
Bible  does  not  contain  the  statement 
"thou  shall  not  streak  or  behold  a 
streaker."  But  it  does  speak  against  one 
beholding  another  and  lusting  after  him 
or  her.  Matt.  6:28.  Jesus  here  seems  to 
imply  that  anyone  even  lusting  or  causing 
one  to  lust  has  commited  sin  in  his  heart 
already.  And  it  would  take  a  mighty  pure 
mind  to  withstand  the  shady  suggestions 
one  would  have  if  a  streaker  of  the  op- 
posite sex  went  flashing  by.  And  as 
growing  Christians  we  don't  need  such 
delicate  food  to  feed  the  carnal  nature, 
*hen  it  is  hard  enough  starving  it  as  it  is, 
do  we?

Parkridge  early  one  a.m.  to  their  lab.  When 
itopping  for  a  red  light  on  Brainerd  Road,  the 
bus  stalled  and  refused  to  start.  The  more 
;ffort  applied,  the  less  result  was  shown.  The 
nursing  instructor,  seeing  the  efforts  were

he  direction  of  Assoc.  Professor  ol 
iiology.E.O.Grundsetmade.tsan- 
.uallrek  10  Florida  in  search  of  bird 
ife    Purpose  of  the  trip  IS  to  help 
.cquaint  the  ornithologj'  students  with 
he  great  varielv  of  bird  life  which  exists 
n  this  long  peninsular  state  and  to  be 
emindedofthe  various  life  zones 
veeetational  habitats)  that  are  found 
herein  and  the  species  of  birds  endemic 
o  these  zones.  Consequently  the  class 
eft  the  campus  early  on  the  morning 
,f  March  6  and  travelled  through  Georgia 
ecording  birds  along  the  way  to  Orlando, 
fhe  first  major  stop  for  serious  bird- 
vatchina  (with  telescopes,  binoculars, 
bird  guides  all  in  vigorous  use)  was 
I'ayne's  Prairie  near  Gainesville.     Here 
fhe  Sandhill  Cranes,  mature  Bald  Eagles 
Glossy  Ibis,  White  Ibis,  Wood  Storks,  and 
other  marsh  birds  were  spotted. 

Next  day  with  the  assistance  of  veteran 
Dird-watcher  Chuck  Turner  from  Orlando, 
die  class  identified  all  manner  of  shore 
Birds  (Long-billed  Curlew,  Whimbrel 
Sanderling,  Pelicans,  and  hundreds  ot  win- 
tering ducks).  Subsequently,  visits  were 
made  to  Loxahatchee  Wildlife  Refuge  and 
all  the  points  of  interest  in  the  Everglades 


National  Park.  Highlights  of  this  area 
were  the  sightings  of  the  rare  Everglade 
Kite,  Fulvous  Tree  Ducks,  Black  Skim- 
iners,  and  the  elusive  Roseate  Spoonbill 
In  Greynold's  Park  in  northeast  Miami, 
ihe  class  learned  of  the  universal  experi- 
ment of  introducing  the  Scarlet  Ibis 
(from  Trinidad)  into  the  rookeries  of  the 
White  Ibis.  Several  hybrid  (salmon  lo 
iirange)  Ibises  have  been  produced 
jiiving  credence  to  the  idea  that  Scarlet 
.ind  White  Ibises  are  really  one  species 
of  bird.  It  was  at  Greynold's  Park  that 
he  rarest  bird  of  the  trip,  the  Brazillian 
Tardinal,  was  discovered. 

All  was  not  work  and  on  Monday  the 
class  was  given  time  off  to  visit  Disney 
World  or  do  what  they  wanted  to.  Thai 
plus  several  non-ornithological  water 
lights,  candid  camera  posing,  snacking, 
and  good  natured  pranks  and  games 
made  the  trip  enjoyable  and  memorable. 
The  problem  of  gas  shortage  did  not 
deter  the  enthusiasm  of  the  class  to 
"'move  along"  and  record  1 50  species 
of  birds.  Sun-tanned  and  far  wiser  in 
Ihe  ways  of  bird  identification,  the 
class  returned  to  SMC  late  Tuesday 
night,  March  12.  "It  was  a  tremendous 
irip,"  declared  Liz  Diller  (a  novice  turned 
into  an  experienced  bird  watcher). 


The  phoenix  was  a  legendary  bird 
who  lived  for  centuries  on  end.  As  the 
itor>  2oes.  he  finally  burned  himself 
to  dea"th.  only  to  rise  fresh  and  young 
from  his  own  ashes.  And  this  is  where 
the  Phoenix  Crisis  Center  got  its  name, 
for  its  purpose  is  to  help  people  who 
2el  ■"burned." 

Founded  three  years  ago  at  758  Oak 
St.  near  LTC,  the  center  is  a  part  of  the 
Family  Service  division  of  the  Commun- 
ity Services  of  Greater  Chattanooga. 
MoBetarily,  they  are  supported  by  United 
Fund.  Phoenix,  which  originally  evolved^ 
iiound  the  theory  of  "youth  help  youth,' 
now  IS  into  services  for  elderly  persons, 
I   families,  and  alcoholics. 
I       Out  of  the  28  Phoenix  employees, 
j  onl\  four  are  paid  salaries.  Jim  and 
'  Nancy  Riggs.  who  live  at  the  center, 
receive  room  and  board  plus  S200  a 
month.  Director  and  Administrator, 
Dennis  Gill,  is  the  third  full-time  em- 
1  ployee  leaving  one  part-time  counselor 
I  who  receives  SI 00  a  month.  The  re- 
1  maining  24  persons  associated  with 


Phoenix  are  all  volunteers.  A  training 
course  is  completed  by  the  workers, 
but  they  do  not  necessarily  hold 
specialized  degrees. 

According  lo  Vickie,  one  of  the  volun- 
teers, many  different  services  are  offered 
at  the  center.  Although  most  of  the  con- 
tacts are  made  by  phone,  there  are  quite 
a  few  "walk-ins."  Phoenix  has  21  beds 
which  are  used  to  house  families,  elderly 
persons,  or  singles  who,  for  example, 
are  waiting  for  placement  or  are  evicted 
from  their  homes. 

Three  free  meals  a  day  are  served  for 
the  temporary  residents.  It  is  surprising 
to  note  that  in  spite  of  the  fact  that 
only  S 1 90  a  month  is  allowed  for  food, 
7,200  meals  were  served  last  year  for 
28  cents  a  piece. 

When  asked  about  their  success,  Vickie 
put  it  this  way:  "When  we  started  three 
years  ago,  we  had  an  average  of  20  calls 
a  month.  Now  we  get  200  plus,  and 
that's  not  counting  the  walk-ins.  I'd  say 
the  center  has  been  pretty  successful!"

In  a  continuing  effort  to  demonstrate 
the  harmony  of  science  and  the  arts, 
the  Physics  and  Computer  Science  de- 
partments have  programmed  the  SMC 
computer  lo  wnie  poetry.    An  example 
of  one  of  the  poems  created  by  the 
computer  is  the  following:

This  program  was  conceived  while 
listening  lo  some  lectures  at  the  first 
Intemalional  Conference  on  Computers 
in  the  Humanities  which  Dr.  Hefferlin 
attended  in  July  of  1973.    It  was 
written  by  Steve  Gothert. 

The  program  is  available  lo  anyone 
who  can  run  a  terminal.    It  asks  the 
user  lo  create  lists  of  words  about  a 
certain  topic,  such  as  the  sea.    Then  it 
places  nouns,  verbs,  and  other  word 
forms  in  specified  places  in  ihe  poem: 
which  noun  goes  in  the  "noun"  place 
is  actually  decided  by  a  random  number 
generator;  it  is  very  much  the  same 
proceu  as  that  which  a  live  poet  goes 
1  Ihrou^  when  he  tries  to  think  of  a 


Old  to  put  in  a  part  of  a  poem. 

The  program  is  readily  adaptable  to 
arious  poem  meters,  such  as  "Jack  am 
1  Jill",  "The  Assyrians  came  down  like 
1  wolves  on  the  fold",  "Roses  are  Red" 
tc. 
The  course  Introduction  to  Computer 
I  Programming,  Physics  54.  will  feature      , 
;  program. 


Students  in  several  Southern  states, 
including  Tennessee,  can  now  enroll  on 
a  resident-tuition  basis  in  selected  grad- 
uate programs  in  other  states. 

The  arrangement,  which  will  become 
effective  this  fall,  is  made  possible 
through  the  Academic  Common.-Market, 
a  project  of  the  Southern  Regional 
Education  Board,  The  interstate  agree- 
ment provides  for  the  reciprocal  sharing 
of  academic  graduate  programs. 

Students  from  participating  states 
will  have  access  to  master's  or  doctoral 
degree  work  in  such  fields  as  African 
history,  home  economics,  radio  astron- 
omy, water  pollution  ecology  or  nuclear 
angineering-to  name  a  few  of  the  prog- 
ram entries. 

Thus  far.  Alabama,  Arkansas,  Florida 
Georgia,  Kentucky,  Mississippi,  South 
Carolina,  and  Tennessee  have  joined 
the  Market.    The  participation  of 
Maryland,  North  Carolina,  Virginia  and 
West  Virginia  is  tentative  but  expected 
in  the  next  several  weeks-pending,  in  some 
cases;  only  the  almost  certain  ratifica- 
tion of  the  agreement  by  state  legisla- 
tures of  boards  of  trustees. 

The  programs  in  which  residents  of  a 
participating  stale  can  enroll  depend  upon 
their  state's  arrangement.    Under  the 


Common  Market  agreement,  each  raeraH 
state  puts  a  number  of  its  prograins  in 
>>  "market  pool"  and  then  arranges 
lor  its  residents  to  have  access  to  out- 
of-state  programs  not  offered  in  its 
uwn  institutions. 

As  the  examples  illustrate,  the  typt 
cal  Common  Market  program  is  one 
ihat  is  somewhat  unusual,  both  in 
excellance  and  program  specialization, 
and  one  that  is  needed  by  residents  m 
one  or  more  of  the  other  states.   By 
making  such  programs  available  to 
tudents,  needless  duplication  of  gra»»' 
programs  will  be  avoided. 

As  Dr.  William  Hovenden.  who 
directs  the  regional  administration  ol 
the  program,  phrased  it,  "H  is  no'  ""'I 
impractical  and  expensive,  but  also 
nearly  impossible  for  any  single  stale 
■o  provide  the  full  array  of  programs 
required  to  meet  the  diverse  luglier 
education  needs  of  its  citizenry. 

On  the  other  hand,  by  oflering  lif« 
y  specialized  programs  to  ouI-oI-suh 
students  at  in-state  rates,  participa  me 
mstitutions  will  increase  enrollnien 
,n  such  "uncommon"  programs  wl  i  n. 
;n  many  cases,  have  the  capacity  loi 
additional  students.

was  the  second  night  of  the  first  WSMC  membership  drive,  a  63  hour  on-the-air  i

Two  SMC  graduates 
jog  cross-country 


This  summer  two  SMC  graduates, 
Heinz  Wiegand  of  CoUegedale,  Tenn.  and 
Philip  Castleberg  of  Frederick,  Maryland, 
both  in  Iheir  mid-twenties,  will  jog  through 
13  northern  U.S.  states  on  a  cross-country 
benefit  for  the  American  Heart  Associa- 
tioji. 

Co-sponsors  of  the  program  are  the 
American  Automobile  Association,  the 
President's  Council  of  Physical  Fitness, 
and  the  American  Temperance  Society. 

The  3,000  mile  trip  will  begin  on  June 
2  in  Seattle,  Washington  and  end  at  Reho- 
both  Beach,  Del.  on  Aug.  1 8,  with  the 
team  stopping  at  some  135  towns  and 
cities  along  the  1 2-week  route  to  con- 
duct clinics,  seminars,  and  fund-raising 
activities. 

The  jo^ng  team  has  been  preparing 
several  years  because  they  feel  a  desperate    | 
need  to  make  the  public  aware  of  the  one 
million  deaths  that  occur  each  year  in  one 
out  of  every  1 0  persons  under  the  age  of 
35  and  in  one  out  of  every  three  persons 
over  the  age  of  35,  from  cardiovascular 
diseases. 

Several  persons  have  made  the  3,000 
mile  cross-country  jog,  but  never  on  a 
program  basis  to  help  detect,  prevent, 
and/or  educate  the  population  in  regard 
to  heart  diseases. 

Castleberg  and  Wiegand  have  set  a 
goal  of  $300,000  to  be  raised  for  the 
American  Heart  Association  Fund.  The 
Frederick  County  (Md.)  Heart  Associ- 
ation, Inc.  is  the  co-ordinating  center 
for  the  journey. 

All  necessities  of  the  team  and  their 
assistants  will  be  supplied  by  sponsors 
in  addition  to  their  donations  of  one 
cent  for  each  of  the  3,000  miles  traveled. 

Castleberg  graduated  from  SMC  with 
a  major  in  religion  and  a  minor  in  history. 
He  received  his  B.A.  in  three  years  by 


carrying  1 8-20  hours  per  semester.  He 
was  involved  in  the  Flying  Club  and  the 
Collegiate  Chorale,  and  also  received  his 
teacher's  certification  and  private  pilot's 
license  while  at  college. 

Wiegand  graduated  from  SMC  with  a 
B.S.  degree  in  health,  physical  education 
and  recreation,  and  a  minor  in  history. 
He  ran  many  races  in  the  Tri-State  area, 
and  for  two  years  held  the  title  for  the 
SMC  three-mile  cross-country  race.  In 
liis  junior  year  at  SMC  he  served  as  Stu- 
dent Association  recreation  chairman.

One  item  on  the  agenda  of  the  Cc.li 
dale  City  Commission  Monday  even^*

SMC  band  on  the  move  again 


f    Now  that  SMC  Band  has  completed 
their  three  scheduled  concerts  on  campus, 
they  are  concentrating  most  of  their 
remaining  appointments  at  locations  far 
removed  from  CoUegedale. 

This  Wednesday  the  band  leaves  on 
a  five-day  tour,  playing  a  concert  Wed- 
nesday night  in  Atlanta,  then  going  on 
10  Federal  Prison  in  Alabama  at  the  end 
of  the  week.  Saturday  night  they  will 
finish  the  tour  with  a  performance  at 
Bass  Memorial  Academy,  and  will  return 
home  on  Sunday. 

One  of  the  band's  most  anticipated 
concerts  is  scheduled  for  Mar.  29,  when 
they  will  play  for  the  opening  ceremonies 
at  Six  Flags  Over  Georgia.  They  also 
plan  to  spend  some  time  riding  around 
on  the  train  there,  playing  all  the  while! 

Tlie  next  day.  Mar.  30.the  band  will 


be  performing  their  last  concert  of  the 
year  on  the  SMC  campus,  which  will  be 
a  joint  performance,  with  the  CoUegiiie 
Chorale.  And  the  next  week,  they  plan 
to  play  April  8th  for  the  end  of  the 
College  Days  weekend. 

Plans  for  next  year  include  an  ex- 
tended lour,  although  jUst  where  it 
will  be  to  is  still  under  investigation.  The 
possibilities  are  Peru,  Eastern  Canada 
(Nova  Scotia),  or  perhaps  Jamaica,  and 
though  very  diversified,  it  sounds  as  though 
any  one  of  them  would  provide  an  inter- 
esting background  for  a  band  tour. 

Then  there  is  the  Florida  tour,  which 
includes  a  performance  at  Disney  Worid, 
and  they  are  working  on  getting  Doc 
Severinsen  to  join  them  next  December 
for  their  Christmas  concert.

roielesi  Hale's  team  shot  43.1'v- from  the

nd  that  m^es  a  difference.  High  scorers

t-6-60rBird  forfeiting  to  Holland,  and  Halversen 
defeating  Hale  67-63  to  bring  about  a  playoff 
between  them  for  the  championship. 

The  game  between  Halversen  and  the  All 
Stars  started  to  look  like  a  romp  after  the  All  - 
Stars  quickl\  jumped  to  a  12-0  lead  before 
Halversen  called  a  time.  The  time  out  payed  off 
bccMise  when  play  started  again.  Mike  Schulu 
went  right  to  work  and  sunk  four  straight  buckets 
before  the    AU  -Stars  could  blink  theii  eyes. 
This  helped  to  spark  Halversen's  team  some- 
i-hat  but  they  still  remained  nine  points  behind 
il  the  half-  During  half  time  the  special  awards 
\vre  armounced  and  awarded.     Those  honored

ing as  forwards-  Warren  Halversen  as  the  center, 
and  Roger  Bird  and  Rick  Hale  as  the  guards. 
Rick  Hale  was  the  top  vote  getter  in  the  ballot- 
ing with  31  of  a  possible  38  votes.  A  unique  ihiri 
ji^jpened  this  year  in  that  these  five  All-Stars  are 
also  the  five  captains  of  the  A  League  reams. 
Now  back  to  the  second  half  of  the  AU-Stai 
same  with  Halversen  trailing  by  nine  points.  In 
Ithe  third  quarter  Halversen  pulled  down  21 
j  points  to  the  All-Slars  10,  which  gave  them  a

>o  they  had  to  play  a  championship  play-off 
game.  Garibaldi  picked  up  a  new  player  because

Mayor  Fred  FuUer  a  crossing  signal  at  the  rail- 
road IS  also  part  of  the  package.  The  city  re-

private  individuals.

companies  involvea-telephone,  water,  electric 
AT  &  T,  ana  gas  companies-are  on  time  „. , 
mitting  their  plans  for  relocationof  facilities  to 
the  state.  Construction  is  tentatively  scheauled 
to  begin  July  1.  "We  hope  that  the  majority 
will  be  finished  by  winter,"  says  Mayor  Fuller. 
"Tallant  and  Edgeman  Roads  have  recently 
been  improved  for  access  to  and  from  College- 
dale  during  the  construction,"  he  added. 

At  present  there  is  also  a  road  bond  before 
the  City  Commission  which  would  improve  the 
stretch  of  Camp  Road  between  the  Apison  Pike 
intersection  and  the  DX  service  station.  Three 
plans  were  submitted  to  the  Highway  Depart- 
ment for  approval.  One  plan,  already  okayed 
by  Mayor  Fuller,  City  Manager  Keller,  two  high- 
way engineers,  and  the  Administrative  Board  of 
the  college,  seems  destined  for  implementation. 
This  improvement,  costing  the  city  and  McKee 
Baking  Company  about  $18,000.  would  bring 
about  several  changes. 

The  present  entrance  to  Industrial  Drive 
would  be  sealed  off  to  enable  the  McKee  Bak- 
ery to  place  a  fence  arouna  their  entire  proper- 
ty. This  wouia  be  done  to  decrease  vandalism 
and  to  give  added  protection  to  the  plaBt  and 
the  employees'  cars. 

A  five  lane  road  coming  into  the  college 
would  speed  traffic  movement  The  lanes 
would  spin  off  from  a  traffic  circle  in  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Plaza,  the  music  building,  and  a  new 
entrance  to  Industrial  Drive.  Later,  a  fountain 
and  an  SMC  welcome  sign  might  be  aaded  to 
the  center  of  the  circle.

Finally,  the  President  is  to  represent  student 
interest  to  the  college  administration. 

After  reading  how  the  President  has  ac-

may  rest  assured  that  the  Vice-President  wiU

of  the  main  new  responsibilities  assumed  by  the 
Vice-President  will  be  overseeing  the  secular 
social  activities  of  the  stadent  body.  This  will 
in  effect  eliminate  the  office  of  the  Social  Vice- 
President,  Social  Committee  Chairman,  and  Pro-

take  on  the  responsibflity  of  the  Student  Ser- 
vices Committee  Chairman  by  being  respon- 
sible for  the  SA  assembly  lecture  series.  An 
example  of  the  lecture  series  would  be  the  pre- 
sentation concerning  advertisement  rip-off  by 
Dr  Bryan  WUson  Keys.  Making  up  signs  and 
publicizing  SA  activities  would  also  be  ultim- 
ately controlled  by  ttie  V.P.  thus,  ehminating 
the  Public  Relations  office.  To  remterate,  Uie 
V  P  would  have  the  power  to  create  ad  hoc 
committees  to  help  him  with  his  duties.  Other 
duties  would  include  1)  Assisting  the  President, 
2)  Overseeing  the  Publications.  3)  Servmg  as 
acting  President  until  the  next  election  ui  the 
event  that  tiie  President's  office  «  vacated  4) 
And  finally  to  aad  to  his  power  he  would  be 
a  voting  member  of  the  Student  Senate. 

It  should  be  pointed  out  that  the  SA  Senate 
has  the  power  to  add  amendments  to  the  or- 
^S^al  proposal.  Therefore,  the  SA  structural 
Kge  proposal  may  differ  slightly  from  the 
ordinal  when  the  General  Assembly  votes  on 
the  issue  April  2nd.

fence.  When  manned  by  a  city  official  it 
wuuld  act  as  a  small  museum-Chamber  of  Com- 
merce. The  house,  which  has  sentimental  value 
to  some  alumni,  once  served  as  tiie  college  pres- 
ident's office  and  was  later  used  by  the  music 
-  department.  An  outdoor  map  near  the  building 
would  aid  visitors  in  finding  their  way  around 
the  campus. 

Although  the  City  Commission  was  mitially 
balky  at  the  proposal,  Mayor  Fuller  seems  as- 
sured of  its  passage. 

What  will  be  the  advantages,  if  or  when  the 
improvements  are  made?  Says  Charles  Lacey, 
head  of  SMC's  Grounds  Department  and  flie 
man  who  engineered  the  plans,  "Besidcs^- 
creasing  tiie  safety  and  efficiency  of  auto- 
mobile movement,  this  design  will  enhance  the 
beauty  of  the  entire  campus."

Slice  the  red  tape! 

Recently,  rumblings  of  an  impending  change  have  been 
heard  throughout  the  Student  Association.    These  rum- 
blings came  to  a  head  this  past  Monday  evening  when  a 
proposal  was  made  before  the  Student  Senate  to  change 
the  structure  of  the  SA. 
^^  To  state  it  briefly,  this  proposal  set  forth  that  the 

/J      responsibilities  of  the  SA  should  be  consolidated  into  few- 
'    J      er  offices.   As  it  currently  stands,  the  duties  of  certain 
_^^       SA  officers  can  be  shirked  and  passed  on  to  other  office 
holders  warping  the  original  ideal  plan.  One  who  wishes 
to  find  out  about  certain  SA  functions  may  easily  be  re- 
ferred to  other  offices.    Essentially,  the  proposal,  if 
accented,  would  eliminate  beaurocratic  red  tape. 

TTie  proposal  states  that  there  should  be  only  five 
elected  officers  of  the  SA;  the  President,  Vice-President, 
and  the  Editors  of  the  three  publications.  Southern  Accent, 
Joker,  and  Southern  Memories.  The  reason  for  this  is 
mentioned  in  the  previous  paragraph. 

As  would  be  expected,  the  President  would  take  on 
new  duties,  namely  the  chairing  of  the  Student  Senate 
and  the  responsibility  of  organizing  elections.   Both  duties 
currently  are  being  handled  by  the  Vice-President  with  the 
aid  of  the  Student  Services  Committee  on  the  latter. 

In  my  way  of  thinking,  this  would  give  the  President 
a  definite  duty.    In  the  past,  the  President  has  been  the 
head  public  relations  official  for  the  SA  and  that's  just  about 
it.   Oh,  he  could,  if  he  wished,  try  to  impress  the  student 
body  by  thinking  up  a  fantastic  project  to  pursue  or  he 
could  even  skip  that  and  simply  call  and  chaff  the  required 
four  general  assembly  meeting.   You  see,  the  SA  President 
can  do  as  little  or  as  much  as  he  likes.  In  this  proposal,  his 
office  would  not  be  a  bowl  of  gold.  It  would  require  a 
mature  person  who  has  assessed  his  abilities  and  his  time 
in  filling  this  office.   To  put  it  bluntly,  the  president  would 
either  succeed  or  fail. 

By  chairing  the  Senate,  the  President  would  be  in  a  direct 
working  relationship  with  center  of  power  in  the  SA.  Cur- 
rently, people  wishing  to  express  problems  do  not  seek  the 
President,  but  rather  the  Vice-President  who  now  chairs  the 
Senate.  The  President  is  alienated  from  the  Senate  and  in 
essence  is  subordinate  to  the  Vice-President.  He  has  respect 
but  not  power  (except  that  of  a  veto). 

Hopefully,  after  reading  the  story  on  page  1  con- 
ceniing  this  subject  you  know  basically  what  the  new 
duties  of  the  Vke-President  are.     If  amendments  are 
not  added,  the  consolidation  of  the  responsibilities  now 
held  by  the  Student  Services  Committee,  Social  Vice- 
President,  Programs  Committee  chairman.  Social  Com- 
mittee chairman  and  Public  Relations  is  a  good  move 
for  several  reasons:     1)     It  would  greatly  cut  down  on 
salary  expenditures,  2)     Banking  on  the  fact  that  the 
budget  committee  appropriates  an  adequate  budget  for 
his  duties,  the  Vice-President  would  be  at  liberty  to 
hire  students  for  certain  tasks  on  a  job-by-job  basis, 
3)     A  lengthy  impeachment  proceeding  would  not  have 
to  be  put  into  effect  if  a  certain  ad  hoc  committee 
chairman  or  member  is  doing  a  poor  job.     He  will 
simply  be  relieved  of  his  duties. 

These  changes  are  being  put  into  effect  to  facilitate 
a  more  efficient  SA.     We  can  not  have  an  SA  when 
responsibilities  are  sometimes  redundant  and  overly 
diffused. 

Support  this  more  reasonable  and  workable  con- 
stitution in  the  next  General  Assembly  meeting  on 
April  2nd.

Dear  Editors: 

In  regard  to  the  rBcent  Men's  Club  spon- 
sored "Dating  Game,"  I  would  like  to  sav 
I  appreciated  the  iBfreshinglv  simple,  genu- 
ine answers  given  by  Miss  Austin  and  a  few 
other  contestants  in  contrast  to  the  tele- 
vision-mimicking "loaded"  questions  and 
answers  which  were  morB  common. 

The  "Dating  Game"  provided  every- 
one with  a  good  time;  I  never  laughed  so 
much  in  a  long  time.    But  is  the  risque 
orientation  of  the  non<:hristian  world  an 
indispensable  part  of  the  "Game?" 

Good  choice,  Freddy.

Dear  Editors: 

Welcome  to  the  Rain  Forest  of  the  United 
States,  otherwise  known  as  Collegedale.    Here 
we  have  rain  regularly  scheduled  on  Tuesdays 
and  Thursdays.    Frequently,  just  to  keep  us 
aware  of  our  reputation,  it  rains  on  Monday, 
Wednesday,  Friday,  and  Sabbath.    What  is 
extremely  convenient  is  when  the  sidewalks 
are  washed  during  classes.    Just  the  mere  fact 
umbrellas  are  considered  as  school  equipment 
clarifies  the  attitude  that  the  area  is  rather 
wet  and  drippy.    Upon  entering  the  Rain 
Forest,  please  be  prepared  and  armed  with 
umbrellas,  boots,  boats,  buckets,  and  barrels. 

One  nice  thing  to  remember  is  that  it

Dear  Editors: 

"Freshmen  are  allowed  to  go  home  four 
weekends  a  semester,"  as  quoted  in  the  SMC 
Handbook.    I  really  don't  see  how  this  applies. 

Why  not  go  home  any  weekend  we  want? 
Just  because  we're  freshmen,  and  might  get 
a  little  homesick,  doesn't  mean  when  we  go 
home  we'll  never  come  back.    We're  in  col- 
lege now  and  should  be  able  to  make  our 
own  decisions. 

Many  students  work  pretty  heavy  hours 
besides  taking  on  a  full  load  of  studies.    Then 
comes  the  weekend,  and  it's  nice  to  get  away 
from  it  all  to  another  atmosphere.    It  makes 
you  feel  too  confined  and  not  free  in  this 
free  country.   This,  I  feel,  should  be  left 
to  the  individual  to  use  his  own  judgment 
when  and  when  not  to  go  home.    Besides, 
we  make  our  own  grades  in  school;  no  one 
else  does  that  for  usi

Dear  Editors: 

I  am  writing  in  regard  to  the  latest  and 
newest  addition  to  the  library.  I  am  referring 
to  the  suspended  timepiece  which  adorns 
McKee  library,  I  understand  that  quite  a  con- 
siderable amount  of  money  was  spent  on  this 
clock,  not  to  mention  the  designing  as  well  as 
installation  of  it-$500  to  be  exact. 

My  question  is:    Why  was  so  much  money 
spent  on  this  clock  when  Simplex  clocks  would 
have  done  just  as  well?    Could  this  money 
perhaps  have  been  used  more  effectively;   Has 
decor  taken  the  place  of  good  judgment?

Dear  Editors: 

I'm  writing  this  letter  regarding  SMCs  I 
policy  of  T.V.  censorship  in  the  hopes  iiL 
some  improvements  can  be  made.  I'm  ^ 
suggesting  that  the  program  be  done  awavl 
with -altogether,  only  that  it  be  made  mo  J 
practical. 

Sunday  night  several  students  wentm, 
to  the  center  to  watch  "The  Wizard  of  n 
When  they  got  there,  it  was  discovered  n- 
the  screening  committee  had  neglected  to! 
review  the  movies  available  for  that  evenij 
and  had  simply  posted  the  standard  appfJ 
serials.  It  wasn't  that  they  particularly  dj 
approved  of  "The  Wizard  of  Oz,"  butsina 
that  they  hadn't  bothered  to  check  out 
Sunday-evening's  movies. 

Not  wanting  to  do  anything  ilJE 
subversive,  the  students  decided  to 
head  of  the  screening  committee,  t 
Spears,  and  get  his  official  permiss 
watch  the  movie.    He  was  nowhere 
found.    They  decided  to  try  Dr.  Khitielj 
Surely  if  anybody  could  approve  the  rt 
he  could.    Dr.  Knittel  was  very  sorry,  bull 
that  wasn't  urider  his  jurisdiction,  and  he  f 
didn't  want  to  get  involved.    Fine,  so 
students  could  always  watch  "Lassie." 

It  seems  to  me  that  if  the  administra- 1 
tion  is  going  to  insist  on  censoring  Iscre-  [ 
ling,  they  call  it)  our  T.V.  programs, 
t  least  take  enough  interest 
the  programs  in  advance  andl 
'ailable.    Or  why  not  check « 
;  a  week  at  a  time  and  sJmplyl 
s  NOT  allowed? 
-nmittee  thinks  this  is  too 
much  trouble,  why  not  give  the  desk 
monitor  the  authority  to  okay  a  program  | 
in  situations  like  the  one  that  ai 

I  hope  son>ething  can  be  done  aboultlj 
annoying  situation.

Dear  Editors: 

If  girls  want  to  be  equal  with  guys,  t 
let  them.  But  also  let  them  ask  and  bead 
equally  for  dates.  Why  shouldn't  it  be« 
acceptable  for  both  sides  do  plan,  ask,  a 
pay  for  a  date? 

Society  and  custom  both  look  down  if 
girls  asking  guys,  and  any  girls  who  tri! 
considered  forward  and  out  of  place.  I 
any  reason  at  all  why  this  should  be? 

Is  it  worse  for  a  girl  to  ask  a  guy  on 
for  her  to  constantly  go  out  of  her  wav 
catch  his  attention  and  finally  nab  hirn  tlj

Dr.  Aussner  visits 
licaragua  mission  station 


Dr.  Rudolf  Aussner,  of  the  Modern  Lan- 
lii{e  Department,  has  recently  returned  from 
1 13  day  business-visit  of  Nicaragua. 

.  Aussner,  who  is  the  coordinator  of  the 

Piragua  mission  station,  said  that  the  main 

n  for  Ms  visit  was  to  petition  the  govem- 

|ent  for  the  release  of  mission  supplies  which 

■  been  held  m  Nicaraguan  customs  due  to 

missions  inability  to  pay  five  percent  sales 

Aussner  said  that  he  saw  no  reason  for 

■yiig  the  sales  tax  since  the  work  done  by 

Te  mission,  aided  by  these  supplies,  would 

biefit  the  Nicaraguan  people  but  yet  be  of  no 

iuppUes  were  released  tax-free  and 
tasported  to  the  mission  station.  They  in- 
kded  a  truck,  a  jeep,  three  dental  units,  two 
|hv  units,  a  diesel  generator,  medical  sup- 

i,  and  food  stuffs. 
I  Another  reason  for  his  visit  was  to  see  the 
Mbility  of  going  forward  with  the  plans  that 
IJ  previously  been  laid  for  the  summer  work. 
te  plans  included  the  completion  of  the 
Ijreh  and  the  building  of  three  more  clinics; 
I  J°M°  ''^'^  '^'  *«se  plans  have  been 
jea.  However,  he  and  Mr.  R.  C.  Mills,  SMC 
fege  manager,  decided  instead  to  complete 
■f  ehurch,  enlarge  the  present  clinic,  and 


buUd  another  cUnic  m  a  nearby  village 

ment'n'fTh"""''  """'  ^^°  """"  f"  «>'  Place- 
ment of  the  senior  class  gift-the  purchase  of 
machines  for  a  carpentry  shop.  Dr  AussJr 
hopes  to  purchase  these  through  the  Army  sur- 
plus in  order  to  afford  as  much  equipment  as 
possible.  He  mentioned  that  this,  along  ,vith 
^iJr  "'""''''  l""*  -"achines  donated  by 
CARE,  would  greaUy  facilitate  their  summer 
buildmg  program. 

An  agreement  was  also  worked  out  whereby 
the  Adventist  hospital  in  Nicaragua  would  send 
nurses,  studying  at  theh  school,  to  do  their 
practical  trainmg  out  m  the  jungle  and  at  the 
mission  clinics. 

Dr.  Aussner  felt  that  this  would  be  of  great 
benefit,  because  these  nursing  students  would 
be  able  to  speak  not  only  their  mother  tongue 
Spanish,  but  also  English  and  MisMto-the  lan- 
guage of  the  villagers. 

In  closuig.  Dr.  Aussner  expressed  his  appre- 
ciation for  both  the  physical  and  fmancialhelp 
donated  to  the  Nicaraguan  work.  However,  it 
is  his  wish  that  m  the  near  future  the  mission, 
station  become  self-sufficient  by  growing  its 
own  food.  But  due  to  the  thick  jungle  foliage, 
this  would  be  impossible  without  the  aid  of  a 
mmi-bulldozer  and  farm  tactor.

After  receiving  her  B.A.  at  Atlantic  Union 
College,  Mrs.  Ruf  went  on  to,  complete  her 
Masters  degree  at  Boston  University. 

Mis.  Ruf  has  dual  obligations  as  wite  and 
mother,  and  as  teacher.  Her  husband  is  on  the 
pastoral  staff  of  the  Collegedale  S.D.A.  church

Three  hundred  and  forty-two  delegates  rep- 
resenting the  12,500  members  of  Georgia-Cum- 
berland Conference  of  Seventh-day  Adventists 
voted  to  move  the  conference  headquarters 
from  metropolitan  Atlanta  to  a  ruraJ  setting  in 
the  general  area  between  Calhoun  and  Marietta 
Ga.,  near  Interstate  75. 

This  action  was  taken  at  a  special  constitu- 
ency meeting  held  on  Feb.  17  in  the  gymnas- 
ium at  Georgia-Cumberland  Academy  in  Cal- 
houn. Although  not  unanimous,  the  vote  was 
carried  by  a  large  majority. 

Eld.  Desmond  Cummings,  Sr.,  president  of 
the  conference,  presided  over  the  session.  He 
said  that  for  two  and  one-half  years  some  of 
the  conference  officials  and  certain  laymen  had 
talked  of  moving  the  office  oiit  of  the  city. 
They  felt  that  Mrs.  E.  G.  White  had  directed 
that  ofifjces  should  not  be  in  the  large  cities, 
and  that  the  time  had  come  to  follow  tiiis 
coimsel. 

The  matter  was  finally  brought  to  the  Con- 
ference Committee  and  a  representative  group 
of  20  laymen.  This  group  unanimously  voted 
to  move  the  headquarters,  and  then  voted  to 
call  the  special  session  to  consider  the  recom- 
mendation. 

Eld.  Cummings  called  on  Eld.  H.  R.  Trout, 
conference  treasurer,  to  comment  on  the  finan 


cial  aspects.  Eld.  Trout  indicated  tiiat  an  of- 
ficial appraisal  placed  the  sales  value  of  the  pre- 
sent office  and  land  at  between  $450,000  and 
$460,000.  He  said  that  a  contractor  had  stated 
that  a  comparable  building  could  be  erected  on 
another  site  for  about  the  same  amount. 
During  the  two  hours  that  the  floor  was 
open  for  comments  and  questions,  many  dele- 
gates spoke  in  favor  of  the  move  and  several 
spoke  against  it.  The  opposition  seemed  to  cen- 
ter around  the  probable  cost.  One  person  re- 
marked,     "Save   the  money  and  give  it  to* 


Upon  the  request  of  one  of  the  delegates. 
Southern  Union  President  Eld.  H.  H.  Schmidt, 
gave  his  opinion  stating  that  at  first  he  had 
some  serious  questions  about  the  move,  but 
that  some  of  them  had  been  answered  during 
the  last  few  weeks. 

He  was,  however,  still  mainly  concerned 
about  the  probable  cost  of  moving  and  taking 
the  good  influence  of  the  office  away  from 
metropolitan  Atianta. 

"I  am  not  convinced  that  country  living 
means  moving  all  our  mstitutions  to  the  coun- 
try. This  would  mean  closing  some.  But  it  is 
your  decision  and  I  will  support  whatever  you 
decide."

Gimbel  receives  scholarship 
'rem  Am.  Chemical  Society 


SMC  student  Greg  Gimbel  will  receive  the 
American  Chemical  Society's  $100  scholarship 
next  year 

For  the  past  oouple  of  years  the  Chattano- 
oga section  of  the  American  Chemical  Society 
has  been  giving  the  scholarship  to  one  senior 
chemistry  major  in  one  ot  several  Chattanooga 
area  colleges. 

The  scholarship  is  rotated  annually  to  in- 
clude all  of  the  colleges  in  the  area-this  year  it 
went  to  Chattanooga  State  Tech. 

Each  year  it  is  up  to  the  chemistry  faculty 
of  the  chosen  school  to  pick  one  senior  student 
who  is  getting  his  B.S.  degree  in  chemisti-y  to 
receive  the  scholarship.  For  next  fall  the  SMC 
chemistry  staff  has  chosen  Gimbel,  who  is  a 
junior  this  year,  on  the  basis  of  his  high 
scholastic  record. 

With  a  start  like  this,  someday  there  just 
I  may  be  a  "Gimbel's  Law"  right  up  on  top  witii 
the  otiier  chemistry  "greats"  in  history. 


Dr.  Jerome  Clark,  cliaiiman  of  the  SMC  His-

The  Collegedale  Commission  as  they  discussed  the  1974-1975  budget  for  Collegedale. 


Some  discussion  was  entertained 
about  a  city  park  and  recreation  center. 
The  park  would  be  city  regulated  and 
supervised  by  volunteer  help,  and  would 
possibly  include  tennis  courts,  outdoor 
basketball  courts,  and  a  gymnasium. 

Discussion  on  this  issue  was  curtailed 
though,  because  its  realization  lies  in  the 
more  distant  future.  It  was  voted,  how- 
ever, to  obtain  an  opfi'^n  on  some  land 
for  the  project  while  more  consideration 
was  given  the  proposal. 


A  report  was  given  by  Mr.  Keller  on 
some  road  buttons  that  were  previously 
proposed.  They  are  used  to  mark  the 
stop  line  at  stop  signs  and  along  center- 
lines  at  intersections  as  more  permanendy 
visible  indicators  than  more  paint.  It  is 
proposed  they  be  used  at  lour  corners  and 
several  other  intersections.

Accent    

on  Should  church  attendance  be  mandatory? 

*^^'  '  -Minon  Hamm  ' 


I  don't  think  we  can  get  around  the 
divine  admonition  given  tluough  the 
apostle  Paul  of  "not  forsaking  the  assem- 
bling of  yourselves  togetlier.  .  .and  so 
much  the  more  as  ye  see  tlie  day  (of  the 
advent)  approaching."  Jesus,  our  example, 
went  to  divine  service  on  tlie  Sabbath  day, 
"as  His  custom  was."  To  receive  the  out- 
pouring of  spiritual  blessing,  we  must  be 
in  the  place  where  it  is  falling.  An  obser- 
vation shows  that  it  is  those  members  who 
frequently  absent  themselves  from  Sab- 
bath fellowship  who  are  most  likely  to 
find  themselves  on  the  fringes  of  commun- 
ity with  Remnant  believers,  if  not  alto- 
gether outside. 

Thus  the  fact  that  a  significant  num- 
ber of  the  school  family  are  not  attend- 
ing Sabbath  services  at  all,  or  at  least  not 
systematically,  is  a  problem  to  which 
SMC  must  address  itself,  because  one  ol 
our  major  reasons  for  being  is  to  educate 


people  in  a  strong,  positive  Seventh-day 
Adventist  life  style.  One  of  the  key 
facets  in  that  life  style  is  attendance  at 
Sabbath  services. 

I  believe  this  is  a  matter  we  all  have  a 
responsibility.  I  think  it  would  be  a  mis- 
take to  move  into  a  legislated  church  at- 
tendance without  having  exhausted  every 
other  devisable  means  for  getting  the  re- 
luctant to  attend  voluntarily.  There  are 
three  main  reasons  why  1  beheve  this  is 


First,  1  believe  a  Sabbath  attendance 
rule  would  be  a  rule  very  difficult  to  en- 
force. Not  only  are  there  two  church 
services  and  quite  a  variety  of  Sabbath 
schools  on  campus,  but  there  are  Apison, 
Ooltewah,  and  many  other  churches  with- 
in a  few  miles.  A  simple  room  check 
would  not  accurately  indicate  that  anyone 
was  or  was  not  in  church. 

Secondly,  a  legislated  church  atten- 


the  community? 

The  third  reason  seems  to  me  even 
more  important  than  the  first  two.  It  is 
that  for  the  student  who  is  even  slightly 
reluctant,  coercion  is  likely  to  stop  his 
ears  and  block  his  heart  from  any  blessing. 
We  might  oblige  bodily  attendance,  but 
can  we  keep  him  from  writing  a  letter, 
thinking  about  his  Saturday  night  plans, 
or  listening  only  to  criticize? 

1  said  1  had  three  reasons  for  fearing 
legislated  church  attendance;  now  it 
seems  to  me  that  my  proposed  alternative 
is  actually  a  fourth  reason,  perhaps  the 
strongest  of  all:  attendance  by  rule  would 
allow  all  of  us  to  go  on  shunning  our  per- 
sonal responsibility,  one  we  must  be  trained 
to  assume,  that  of  our  brothers'  keeper. 

It  seems  to  me  that  all  of  us  in  the 
family  should  pray  much  about  our  non- 
attenders  and  about  how  to  help  them. 
We  dare  not  leave  their  well  being  to  the 


know  we  care  about  their  sharing  the 
blessings.  We  need  to  remind  these  stu- 
dents that  going  to  Sabbath  services  is 
part  of  what  they  promised  to  do  when 
they  applied  as  students. 

Even  more  effectively,  students  must 
assume  responsibility  for  each  others' 
spiritual  health.  Couldn't  we  be  very 
direct?  How  about  inviting  the  kids 
across  the  hall  (or  in  the  next  trailer)  to ' 
church?  Telling  them  they're  missed? 
Telhng  them  what  they're  missing?  Be- 
ing really  enthusiastic  about  what  we're 
getting  ourselves  at  church?  Telling  them 
directly  that  we're  praying  they'll  attend? 

I  should  think  a  few  weeks  in  such  a 
concerned  environment,  along  with  the 
Holy  Spirit's  promptings,  might  tempt 
almost  anybody  to  go  and  see  for  him- 
self  what  was  happening  on  Sabbath 
morning.  And  hopefully  he'd  come  with 
eyes  and  ears  open,  ready  for  a  blessing. 


VIEWPOINT 


Pro 


-R.  E.  Francis 


Should  church  attendance  be  mandatory? 


To  the  question.  What  about  mandatory 
attendance  for  rehgious  services?    There 
is  another  related  question.  It  is  this: 
Why  do  some  professed  Christians  come 
to  a  Christian  school  knowing  required 
attendance  at  religious  services  is  an  in- 
tegral part  of  their  religious  education 
program-yet  oppose  it  after  they  come 
without  adjusting  to  it  before  they  come? 

This  question  is  rarely  answered.  So 
the  usual  response  to  mandatory  attendance 
is:    1)  Religion  is  a  voluntary  proposition. 
It  can't  be  forced  nor  legislated;  2)  Trust 
us  to  come  and  we  will  come;  3)  Religion 
is  an  individual  matter.  Given  this  freedom 
the  student  will  find  his  own  way  and  in  a 
more  satisfactory  manner  to  him. 

These  ideals,  while  true,  do  not  answer 
the  question.  Nor  do  they  encompass  the 
whole  picture.  The  second  one  proves  too 
much.  For  if  trust  is  the  basis  for  coming 
to  meetings  or  even  functioning  on  one's 
own,  why  mistrust  others  committed  to 
your  education?  Who  is  mistrusting  whom? 

Anti -mandatory  worships  are  old  his- 
I  tory.  I  was  a  student  years  ago  at  Washing- 
ton Missionary  College,  now  CUC.  The 
I  same  situation  obtained,  "Religion,"  they 


said,  "can't  be  gotten  with  regulations, 
and  those -who  want  it  will  get  in  spite  of 
enforcement." 

The  dean  accepted  the  challenge  as  an 
experiment.  Within  a  short  time  the  atten- 
dance was  ridiculously  nil.  It  failed  miser- 
ably. 

A  question  which  gets  to  the  heart  of 
the  matter  is  this,  Does  God  want  us  to 
have  mandatory  religious  exercises?  The 
answer:  Yes,  and  No!  Let  us  explain. 

No,  He  does  not!  Because  "love  cannot 
be  commanded."  (DA,  22.) 

"God  desires  from  all  his  creatures  the 
service  of  love.-service  that  springs  from 
an  appreciation  ofiHis  character.  He  takes 
no  pleasure  in  forced  obedience;  and  to 
all  He  grants  freedom  of  will,  that  they 
may  render  him  voluntary  service."  (PP,  34) 

In  heaven,  before  sin,  everyone  loved 
God  and  each  other.  Religious  worship 
operated  on  this  principle:   Law  +  Love  = 
Voluntary  service.  In  other  words,  God's 
commands,  including  "Worship  Me!",  per- 
formed in  the  spirit  of  love  by  spiritually 
mature  creatures  was  looked  upon  by  them 
not  as  dictatorial,  tyrannical  "rules,"  but 
rather  as  an  opportunity  for  joyful,  cheerful

service. 

Don't  miss  the  point, 

"In  heaven,  service  is  not  rendered  in 
the  spirit  of  legality.  When  Satan  rebelled 
against  the  law  of  Jehovah,  the  thought 
that  there  was  a  law  came  to  the  angels 
almost  as  an  awakening  to  something  un- 
thought  of."  (MB,  121) 

Behold,  creatures  behaving  in  a  com- 
manded situation  as  though  they  had  not 
been  commanded!  Strange,  indeed,  that 
sinless  beings  were  checked  on  (EW  39) 
and  had  "chapel  worship  periods"  (SR 
25),  but  fallen  creatures  resist  being 
checked  on  and  dislike  structured  wor- 
ships! 

Now  the  other  side.  What  about  sin- 
ners, fallen  beings?  Does  God  support 
mandatory  religious  exercises?  He  does! 
The  principle  in  this  situation  looks  like 
this:   Law-Love  =  Necessary  Regulations. 
Love  lost  requires  more  specific  "rules" 
(See  GC  467)  As  the  old  Negro  said, 
"Lord,  prop  us  up  on  every  leaning  side." 

In  this  context  love  is  commanded. 
Said  Jesus  to  the  sinful  lawyer,  "Thou 
Shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God."  To  Satan 
as  to  us.  He  affirms,  "Thou  shalt  worship 
the  Lord  thy  God." 

Look  at  Lucifer  as  sinless,  spiritual  then 
as  carnal  and  sinful.  In  his  innocence  he 
led  out  cheerfully  in  the  angelic  "chapel 
exercises."  He  was  scarcely  aware  of  rules. 
Later,  however,  as  a  sinner  he  became  ob- 
sessed with  and  vigorously  promoted  anti- 
mandatory  chapel  worships.  Story  of 
Redemption,  pages  15-19  informs  us  "he 
rebelled  against  the  authority  of  the  Son" 
and  that  he  would  abolish  rules  to  bring 
about  "a  better  government. .  .in  which 
all  would  have  freedom." 

What  did  God  do  in  this  new  circum- 
stance? 

"All  the  heavenly  host  was  summoned 
to  appear  before  the  Father.  Satan  un- 
blushingly  made  knownJiis  dissatisfaction. 
Then  God  "REQUIRED  ALL  the  family 
of  heaven,  even  Satan,  to  yield  Him  im- 
plicit, unquestioned  obedience." 


The  point  is  clear.  The  degree  to 
which  a  person  is  piritual  and  mature,  he 
needs  little  or  no  mandatory  reinforce- 
ments. To  the  degree  he  lacks,  he  needs 
something  "extra"  to  Implement  his  own 
private  devotions. 

Calvin  Coolidge,  deceased  President  of 
the  United  States  talks  to  the  point.  In 
the  book.  Autobiography  of  Calvin  Cool- 
idge, page  54,  we  find  this  "chapel  exper- 
ience" of  his  student  life  at  Amherst  Col- 
lege: 

"The  places  of  general  assembly  were 
for  religious  worship,  which  consisted  of 
the  chapel  exercises  and  the  first  morning 
period  each  week  day,  and  church  service  I 
in  the  morning  and  with  vespers  in  the  lale  | 
afternoon  on  Sundays.  Regular  attend- 
ance at  all  of  these  was  required.  Of 
course,  we  did  not  like  to  go  and  talked 
learnedly  about  the  right  of  freedom  of 
worship,  and  the  bad  mental  and  moral 
reactions  from  which  we  were  likely  to 
suffer  as  a  result  of  being  forced  to  hear 
Scriptural  readings.  Psalms  singing, 
prayers  and  sermons.  . 

We  were  told  that  our  choice  of  a  col- 
lege was  optional,  but  that  Amherst  had 
been  founded  by  pious  men  with  the 
chief  object  of  training  students  to  over- 
come the  unbelief  which  was  then  thou6i"| 
to  be  prevalent,  that  religious  insttuctioii 
was  part  of  a  prescribed  course,  and  tliai 
those  who  chose  to  remain  would  have 
to  take  it. 

If  attendance  at  these  religious  ser- 


vices ever  harmed  any  of  the  men 


of  my 


time,  1  have  never  been  informed  ot  it. 
The  good  it  did  I  believe  was  inf>ni«- 

Not  the  least  of  it  was  the  disciphw 
that  resulted  from  having  constanuyi 
give  some  thought  to  things  that  youiiB 
men  would  often  prefer  not  to  consioei' 
If  we  did  not  have  the  privilege  W  oo  s 
what  we  wanted  to  do,  we  had  the  mj,  J 
greater  benefit  of  doing  what  we  oug' 
do.  It  broke  down  our  selfishness,"  ^

College  Board  approves 

"Big  Rod"  to  adorn 

the  college  mall 


.    The  board  met  last  Tuesday  and  unan- 
jmous  y  approved  a  new  constructionTo- 
posal  for  a  campus  lightning  rod.  This  ac- 
tion came  as  a  direct  result  of  last  year's 
unfortunate  fire  in  Hackman  Hall  due  to 
hghtnin^  strike. 

SMC  s  general  manager,  Charles  Flem- 
mg  stated,  "Because  of  increased  electrical 
phenomena  since  SMC  was  established  here 
in  Happy  VaUey,  it  has  become  imperitive 
that  a  project  of  this  nature  be  undertaken 
to  preserve  the  safety  of  the  buildings,  land, 
scaping,  faculty  and  staff  members,  and 
the  village  inhabitants. 

To  offer  complete  protection  to  Collese- 
dale,  the  Lightning  Rod  will  reach  a  height 
ot  5,600  ft.  and  have  a  grounding  capacity  I 


of  1 ,497,678,400,701  volts,   fhe  proposed 
location  Will  be  in  the  center  of  the  cam 
pus  ma^,  and  v«ll  be  artisticaUy  d.si^Td 
to  blend  m  with  the  general  coloniall^yle 
ot  the  campus 

,    In  keeping  with  SMC's  policy  of  mak- 
f&  '"^^  f.^"""'  ^  fiinctional  as  pos- 
sible, the  hghtning  rod,  too,  will  have 
multiple  utihty.  The  engineering  depart- 
ment IS  planning  to  place  sockets  on  the 
tower  so  that  during  the  Christmas  saason 
artificial  fn  boughs  can  be  inserted  aUowing 
the  rod  to  serve  as  the  campus  Christmas 
I  tree    Further  study  is  being  given  to  the 
feasibility  of  a  remote  control  search 
light  atop  the  structure  to  aid  in  Campus 
Crune  Prevention,  and  the  feasibility  of 


installing  a  large  four-faced  clock-wliich 
of  course,  would  be  called  "Big  Rod  "    ' 

Some  of  the  special  features  of  the 
tower  will  be  a  self  cleaning  mechanism 
designed  to  aUeviate  the  unsightly  pro- 
blems caused  by  migratory  birds  passing 
over  a  structure  of  these  dimensions 
Another  special  feature  will  be  an  um- 
brella shaped  canopy  covering  the  top. 

This  provision  was  requested  by  the 
newly  formed  parachuting  club  to  avoid 
serious  injury  from  impaling  and  resulting 
maccessibility.  "uimg 

This  is  another  "milestone"  in  SMC's 
efforts  to  make  Collegedaje  a  better  and 
safer  place  m  which  to  live.

The  forecast  caUs  for  a  warming  trend 
as  spring  progresses  into  summer.  Follow- 
ed by  mostly  warm  and  hot  weather.  The 
skies  will  be  partly  cloudy  with  a  chance 
of  precipitation  interspersed  with  some 
sunny  days  and  a  mixture  of  sunny  and 
rainy  days.  The  days  will  be  generally

trend  can  be  expected  as  summer  tapers 
off  into  autumn. 


Today  we  will  focus  our  attention  on 
the  miraculous  remedial  qualities  of  the 
root  of  the  Azaichaga  plant.  This  plant 
is  found  only  in  the  foothills  of  the 
Umoola  Mountains  in  western  Mongolia. 
Fortunately,  the  root  can  be  found  here 
in  Tennessee.  Considering  its  rarity  it's 
very  surprising  that  it  can  be  bought  at 
the  Village  Market  for  only  $.91  a  gram. 

Its  uses  are  as  many  and  as  varied  as 
the  imagination,  and  1  personally  predict 
that  this  root  of  the  Azaichaga  plant  will 
soon  reach  and  even  supersede  the  astoun- 
ding success  that  the  soybean  has  reached 
in  the  hearts  and  digestional  tracts  of  the 
American  public. 

The  root  can  be  prepared  in  a  number 
of  delicious  ways,  the  most  common 
being  boiled  and  then  mashed  hke  pota- 
toes. It  also  can  be  shced  and  fried,  diced 
and  baked,  minced  and  warmed,  shpped 
and  smeared,  and  cracked  and  poached. 
There  are  also  a  few  non-oral  applica- 
tions. Groundings  with  corn  starch  and 
water  added  make  a  wonderful  nighttime 
facial  for  women;  can  be  used  as  shavuig 
cream  for  men;  will  substitute  as  a  mus- 


tard plaster;  is  an  excellent  antiseptic 
sauve  for  cuts  and  burns;  and,  when  taken 
like  snuff,  works  as  a  marvelous  deconges- 
tant.

Pro 


First  of  all  I'd  like  to  preface  my  re- 
marks with  a  few  words  ot  thanks  to  my 
dear  friend  and  other  most  worthy  people. 
rd  like  to  thank  the  student  body,  for 
without  a  large  and  active  student  body  a 
column  such  as  Viewpoint  would  not  be 
possible,  nor  would  a  paper;  in  fact,  with- 
out a  student  body,  the  school  wouldn't 
ewn  be  possible. 

Then  1  would  like  to  thank  the  faculty 
for  allowing  the  students  to  have  a  Student 
Association  which  makes  possible  a  student 
paper  able  to  have  a  column  in  it  like  View- 
point. Then  1  would  Uke  to  thank  the  SA 
officers.  These  are  the  true  student  lead- 
ers of  the  school  and  without  their  con- 
tinued support  and  leadership  the  SA 
could  hot  exist  and  without  the  paper 
this  Viewpoint  column  could  not  exist. 

And  finally,  I  would  like  to  thank  the 
paper  staff,  for  without  them  not  only 
would  the  paper  not  exist,  nor  this 
Viewpoint  column  could  not  exist,  but 
1  would  not  exist  as  having  been  chosen 
to  write  this  viewpoint  on  this  most 
pressing  topic  here  at  SMC.  1  consider  it 
quite  an  honor  to  have  been  chosen  to 
express  my  views  in  the  students  paper 
and  1  hope  that  I  can  rise  to  meet  the 
occasion  in  coming  to  grips  with  this 


SPEWPOINT 

Is  SMC  too 
monetarily  minded? 


most  pressing  problem  as  entrusted  to 
me  by  the  Student  Association,  the  fac- 
ulty, the  student  leaders,  and  the  paper 
staff. 

It  is  with  humbleness  of  heart  that  I 
submit  this  Viewpoint  and  I  make  no 
boastful  claim  to  any  kind  of  authorita- 
tive insight.  This  is  strictly  my  own 
opinion  and  I  will  be  soiey  responsible  for 
its  impact. 

This  is  not  to  be  taken  as  indicative 
of  the  views  of  the  faculty  as  a  whole, 
or  even  as  a  part.  Nor  do  1  want  any 
student  pointing  to  this  article  and 
using  it  for  correction  or  reproof  of  any- 
one for  this  is  not  my  intent.  By  asking 
me  to  write  this  Viewpoint,  I  believe  that 
the  students,  in  particular  the  paper 
people,  want  my  opinion  and  my  opinion 
only  and  so  this  is  what  1  most  humbly 
intend  to  give  them. 

Yes,  I  beUeve  that  SMC  is  too  mone- 
tarily minded. 


No,  1  don't  believe  that  SMC  is  too 
monetarily  minded.  In  fact,  I  think  that 
if  anytliing  we  might  not  be  monetarily 
minded  enougli.  Let  me  give  an  example 
to  illustrate  this  point.  1  had  a  friend  who 
ran  a  small  grocery  stora  which  was  located 
in  one  of  those  beautiful  and  quaint  httle 
communities  in  the  Rocky  Mountains,  and 
some  of  those  towns  are  really  beautiful 
with  the  picturesque  back  groimd  of  those 
majestic  mountains. 

Anyway,  my  friend's  little  store  just 
wasn't  making  any  money  and  he  couldn't 
understand  why  so  he  decided  to  increase 
the  sales  of  his  Uttie  store.  One  method 
of  doing  so  was  to  bring  in  new  and  bet- 
ter quality  groceries.  Things  like  Worth- 
ington  Foods,  Loma  Linda  Products, 
Granola,  Little  Debbies,  etc. 

My  friend  thought  that  there  might 
be  a  terrific  market  for  these  kinds  of 
health  foods,  since  most  of  the  people 
of  this  and  surrounding 


Amateur 


weren't  aquainted  with  the  ways  of 
healthful  living  and  were  filling  their 
bodies  with  such  poisons  as  mountain 
stream  rainbow  trout,  wild  turkey  smoth- 
ered in  mushroom  gravey,  and  fresh  veni- 
son and  wild  cranberries,  etc. 

Well  to  make  a  long  story  short,  this 
approach  didn't  work  to  increase  sales 
nor  did  it  solve  his  lack  of  cash  problem 
Then  one  night  it  hit  Itim,  like  a  bolt  of 
lightning  out  of  the  sky,  and  if  you've 
ever  seen  hghtning  in  the  Rocky  Moun- 
tains you'd  know  what  I  mean.  Anyway 
the  solution  was  so  simple  he  could  have 
kicked  himself, 

His  sales  on  account  were  surpassing 
his  collections  of  accounts  receivable, 
thus  tying  up  working  capital.  This  pro- 
blem was  further  complicated  by  an 
expanding  inventory  at  twice  the  inven- 
tory turnover  rate.  My  friend  wasn't 
too  "monetary  minded,"  but  as  soon  as 
he  became  that  way  his  problems  vanished 
and  his  store  started  to  produce  cash  hand 
over  foot,  and  he  never  had  any  problems 
again. 

Obviously  you  can  see  how  tliis  little 
parable  is  analogous  to  SMC.  Let's  not 
fall  into  the  pitfalls  of  de-emphasizing 
monetary  pohcy;  this  is  a  necessity.  No, 
SMC  is  not  too  "monetarily  minded." 


Dear 
Gabby 


Dear  Gabby: 

I'm  what  you'd  probably  call  a  lior^ 
malall  American  male  of  20.  Sure  I  have 
my  share  of  hang-ups,  but  no  more  than 
anyone  else.  I  have  a  normal  healthful 
attitude  toward  the  opposite  sex,  but  when' 
ever  I  get  alone  on  a  date  I  just  clam-up. 
I'm  so  cold  I  get  chills,  my  teeth  rattle  and 
"goose  bumps"  cover  my  entire  body.  I 
can't  carry  on  a  conversation,  or  even  talk 
at  all  my  teeth  are  ratthng  so  loudly.  It's 
terribly  embarassing  for  me  and  for  my 
date.  What  should  1  do.  Gabby? 

Frightened 

Dear  Frightened; 

Have  you  ever  thought  of  being  a  priest' 


Dear  Gabby; 

It  all  began  about  tlvee  weeks  ago  just 
after  I  returned  from  spring  vacation.  The 
first  night  it  happened  I  was  sound  asleep 
and  the  phone  rang,  I  don't  remember  how 
many  times  it  rang  because  I  was  asleep, 
but  when  I  awoke  and  answered  it,  there 
wasn't  anyone  there.  This  has  happened 
every  night  since  precisely  at  3:41  a.m. 
It  has  made  me  so  jumpy  that  I  can  hardly 
sleep,  and  when  I  try  to  talk  to  my  room- 
mate about  it  she  just  tells  me  its  all  in  my 
head  because  she  never  hears  the  phone, 
but  I  know  that  its  real.  Gabby. 

So  in  despiration  last  night  I  left  the 
phone  off  the  hook  and  got  the  first  good 
reit  I  have  gotten  in  weeks  until  I  heard 
a  knock  at  my  door,  so  I  got  up,  put  on  a 
robe  and  some  slippers  and  answered  the 
door,  but  there  wasn't  anyone  there.  I 
looked  up  and  down  the  hall,  but  there 
wasn't  a  soul  in  sight.  Gabby,  I  just  can't 
bear  it  any  longer.  1  can't  eat,  I  can't 
sleep,  I  can't  even  study.  Will  you  please 
tell  me  if  I'm  really  going  crazy? 

Sleepless 

1  Dear  Sleepless: 

Your  conclusion  seems  to  be  a  pretty 
I  fair  assumption  to  me.

Dear  Gabby: 

When  I  was  a  small  child  I  was  in  a  car 
accident  and  lost  one  arm.  This  could  have 
been  avoided  if  I  was  not  hunch-backed. 
Towards  my  junior  year  in  academy,  my 
mother  took  me  to  a  Chiropracter  and  in 
the  treatment  he  permanently  cruved  my 
neck  at  an  odd  angle.  Upon  entering  col- 
lege I  had  braces  put  on  my  teeth  and 
ever  since  I  talk  with  a  lisp.  1  do  admit 
I  have  an  acute  acne  problem,  but  when 
my  boyfriend  gave  me  a  pint  of  wood 
putty  to  help  my  complexion  that's 
going  too  far.  1  told  him  where  he  could 
go.  1  told  him  there  were  other  squid 
in  the  sea.  Now,  my  boyfriend,  P.  T. 
Barnum  says  he  loves  me  so  much,  he 
wants  me  to  travel  around  the  world 
with  him  so  he  can  show  me  off  to  every- 
body. What  should  I  do?

Dear  Editcff: 


I  just  want  to  tell  you  how  happy  I  am,  and 
how  much  I  appreciate  this  opportunity  to  writ 
in  your  paper.  AU  of  my  life  since  I  was  a  litUe 
child  I've  wanted  to  have  something  that  I  had 
written  in  print.  Fiist,  1  wrote  an  autobiography 
which  came  out  to  just  over  350  words  and  Liff: 
magazine  wouldn't  publish  it  cause  it  was  too 
long.  Then  I  wrote  an  essay  and  Newsweek 
didn't  want  it  cause  1  wasn't  handsome  enough. 
Then' in  despiration  I  wrote  a  letter  to  the  New 
York  Times  and  they  told  me  that  they  didn't 
want  to  commit  themselves  on  political  issues 
and  besides  that  they  had  the  audacity  to  tell 
me  that  it  would  be  a  detri  ment  to  their  image. 
So  now  I'm  scraping  the  bottom  of  the  barrel, 
so  to  speak,  and  in  despiration  I've  sent  this 
letter  to  you.  Won't  you  please  publish  it, 
pretty  please, .  .  .with  ice  cream  and  sugar  and 
a  cherry  on  top, 

Richard  M.  Nixon 

P.S.  Could  you  send  me  a  copy  so  I  can  have 
it  framed  for  the  wall  of  my  oval  office.

Dear  Editor; 

1  can't  help  but  notice  the  above  letter  to 
your  paper.  Let  me  make  one  thing  perfectly 
clear.  If  1  was  an  editor  of  a  big  newspaper, 
I  wouldn't  print  it  either.  For  one  thing,  it 
was  hand  written  with  Nixon's  left  hand  at  the 
same  time  he  took  a  $  20,000  bribe  with  his 
right  hand.  Now,  if  he  expects  to  have  an  edi- 
tor consider  his  letter,  the  least  he  could  do  is 
make  it  legible.  Not  only  that,  it  was  hard  to 
read  because  there  were  drops  of  water  splashed 
over  the  page.  Ron  Ziegler  says  that  those  were 
tear  drops  induced  by  a  harsh  press  and  an  un- 
sympathetic public.    But  they  aren't.  In  fact, 
that  was  a  +*0($&t&  lie.  Those  spots  on  the 
page  are  merely  from  pidgeons  lodging  in  the 
eaves  of  the  White  House.  You  see,  Nixon  had 
to  sneak  outside  into  the  garden  to  even  write 
that  letter.  (He  had  an  appointment  with  Rose 
Mary  Woods  there.) 

Well,  anyway,  I  think  you  get  the  point.  If 
the  American  people  had  things  to  do  again, 
T  think  they'd  surprise  old  Dick. 

Oh,  and  hello  to  Thomas  Eagleton  and 
Sargeant  Shriver  out  there  in  newspaper  land,

And  in  the  end  nobody  would  ever 
think  it's  a  crime  lab."  Other  disguises 
include  a  naval  desU-oyer,  a  DC-IO,  a 
Macy's  Thanksgiving  Day  parade  float 
of  Bullwinkle,  a  prehistoric  mastadon  and 
an  ultra-modern  outhouse. 

Marshall  Zimmerman  would  not  reveal 
how  much  the  mobile  crime  laboratory 
cost,  but  did  say  that  it  was  within  5  cents 
of  $5,892.50.  This  does  not  include  the 
Ghch  audio  detector,  the  body  radiation 
detector,  the  engine,  the  chasse,  the  trans- 
mission, the  braking  system,  the  tires  or 
any  other  laboratory  equipment.  Marshall 
Zimmerman  did  point  out  that  the  wind- 
shield wipers  were  included  as  well  as  the 
■doorhandles. 

"Choosing  paintings  for  the  inside  of 
the  lab  was  a  difficult  decision  for  me. 
But,  after  talking  it  over  with  tlie  other 
fellows  on  the  force,  1  came  to  a  final 
conclusion.  The  paintings  finally  chosen 
were  those  depicting  table  scraps  in  a 
feeding  trough  and  an  exquisitly  done 
replica  of  a  mud  hole,"  said  Marshall 
Zimmerman.  He  failed  to  mention  other 
paintings  decorating  the  walls  showing 
open  corn  and  soybean  fields. 

But,  choosing  paintings  ivas  not  the 
first  Itard  decision  to  make  on  the  part 
ofMarshall  Zimmerman.  Many  items  r- 
were  (and  still  are)  needed  by  the  Cam-  J( 
pus  Security  Police  Department,  and  a 
crime  lab  was  only  one  of  them.  After  -fC 
much  debate  with  the  other  officers,  Mar;W 
shall  Zimmerman  narrowed  the  choices  ^ 
down  to  three;  a  record  of  the  Canadian  ^ 
Mountaineer  fighting  song,  a  water  pick  ^

qmpped  Pal.  And  so  another  issue  of  the 

Drawl  drew  forth  from  the  minds  of  its 

creators  and  caretakers. 

Ric  Sic  editorialized  on  whether  Je- 
hovah Witnesses  had  bejrds 

Steve  wrote  on  the  origins  of  pant  suits 
by  the  Witnesses  as  early  as  1892. 

Pal  reported  on  there  arrival  and  whether 
CoUegevale  would  ever  be  the  same. 

Bar  did  a  survey  and  proved  that  Wit- 
nesses used  more  alka-seltzer. 

Blame  interviewed  Hitch  Hitchfield  on 
the  possibility  of  an  SA  next  year. 

And  the  sports  page  was  covered  with 
a  story  on  the  men  of  Talge  eating  "Reece 
Cups    written  by  Joe  Shorts. 

And  so  the  Drawl  staff  saw  that  it  was 
no  worse  than  last  week,  and  published  it! 


The  smooth  faced  co-editor  grumbled

The  Southern  Drawl  staff  was  discour- 
aged and  upset,  there  was  nothing  left    Bar 
l-lark,  ass.  editor,  had  done  a  survey  on 
morality,  sex  and  the  use  of  alka-seltzer  in

There  just  wasn't  anything  left.  But  wait 
former  editor.  Blame  Quickquit,  who  had 
lust  returned  fiom  an  editors  meeting  in 
Calf.,  has  an  idea. 

"I  have  an  idea,"  shines  Blame.  "Why 
don't  we  make  some  news,  Uke  the  Wash- 
ington Boast  did  on  that  waterfaucet 
thing." 

"Spicut,"  corrected  Pal. 
"Yeah,  right,  anyway  why  don't  we  do'  I 
something  like  that,  then  we'll  have  the

SAAC  students  polled 
concerning  bell  tower 


Because  of  some  growing  reverberations 
concerning  the  irritation  of  the  churches 
•'tolling"  Bell  Tower.  The  Drawl  took  a 
randorn  sampling  poll  throughout  College- 
dale  to  find  out  the  sentiments  of  the 
community.  Tlie  question  that  our  poll 
takers  asked  was  worded  as  such:  "Do 
you  find  the  irritating  hourly  "toll:" 

1)  Helpful  in  assertaing  the  time  of  day 

2)  Helpful  in  assertaining  the  time  of 
night? 

3)  A  and  C,  but  not  B? 

4)  1  dislike  "toll"  polls. 

5)  No  Opinion 

The  results  of  this  poll  were  as  follows: 

FOR         AGAINST        NO  OPINION 

2  1  1,272 

As  is  apparent,  there  was  a  substantia] 
two  to  one  majority  in  favor  of  the  con- 
tinued "tolling"  of  the  bell  tower.  The 
/Iccciir  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity 
to  thank  the  residents  of  CoUegedale  for 
their  support  and  cooperation  in  making

this  poll  possible.  We  firmly  believe  thai 
finding  out  a  little  bit  more  about  one's 
community  can  make  it  become  a  better 
place  in  which  to  work  and  live.

Many  faculty  members  of  SMC  whose 
talents  and  knowledge  have  been  taken  for 
granted  have  finally  stepped  forward  and 
many  of  them  expound  on  their  talents, 
inventions  and  discoveries  in  the  following 
paragraphs. 

Art  encompasses  a  large  area  of  expres- 
sion and  associate  professor  of  art  at  SMC, 
Howcome  Childless,  has  invented  a  new 
form  of  self  expression. 

"The  qualities  involved  in  this  new 
form  of  art  is  unsurpassed,  but  despite 
this  handicap,  the  earthiness  still  is  there," 
commented  Mr.  Childless. 

The  process  involves  squeezing  turnip 
juice  onto  blueprint  paper  and  then  smear- 
ing it  around  with  a  kosher  dill  pickle. 
Childless  mentioned  that  variations  on  the 
same  theme  can  be  used,  for  example, 
"beet  juice  can  be  smeared  around  on  sand 
paper  with  a  three-week-old  loaf  of  bread 
to  achieve  similar  effects." 

Childless  could  only  describe  this  new 
form  of  art  as  "groovy,  man." 

Turning  to  another  form  of  self  expres- 
sion, namely  music,  it  has  been  brought  to 
the  attention  of  the  Drawl  staff  that  Dr. 
.  Darvon  Robertson,  professor  of  music  at 
SMC,  has  formed  the  final  model  of  a  push 
button  conductor's  baton  that  Dr.  Darvon 
Robertson  says  will  revolutionize  the  art 
of  conducting. 

The  small  device  operates  rather  simply, 
"It'sjust  a  small  box  with  two  lights  on  it; 
one  is  green  and  the  other  is  red.  You 
see,  when  the  green  light  goes  on  it  means 
that  the  chorale  should  start  singing,"  ex- 
plained Dr.  Darvon  Robertson. 

Dr.  Darvon  Robertson  said  he  culminated 
the  idea  for  the  invention  by  sitting  at  the 
corner  of  Fifth  and  Market  Streets  watching 
the  traffic  light  change  from  red  to  green. 
Although,  this  resulted  in  three  rear  end 
collisions.  Dr.  Darvon  Robertson  was  sure 
he  could  pay  for  his  car  injuries  when  the 
money  started  rolling  in  from  his  invention 
Dr.  Darvon  Robertson  said  the  main

vas  because  of  the  bursitis  he  contracted  L 
n  his  right  arm  as  he  wrote  1 ,582  quarter! 
n  3  min.  and  I  2  seconds.  Dr.  Darvon  Rj 
ertson  said  he  wanted  to  see  his  name  i 
Guinesse  's  Book  of  World  Records. 

Still  staying  within  the  bounds  of  the 
music  department.  Dr.  Burst  Duston, 
assistant  professor  of  music  at  SMC,  wowl 

ludience  in  his  piano  performance  \,, 
the  Chattanooga  Symphony  this  past  Tuel 
day  evening  at  the  Tivoli  theatre.  Dr.  Dug 
while  playing  Beethoven's /Ve/iii/e  in  C 
Minor,  mashed  potatoes,  brushed  his  hairj 
lUggled  three  bowling  balls  with  his  feet 
ind  ate  animal  crackers.  The  crowd  re- 
sponded by  saying  "Well?" 

Leaving  the  arts  to  go  to  the  field 
of  science.  The  Drawl  has  found  out  the 
results  of  some  scientific  studies  being 
conducted  by  Dr.  Beam  Cowerlin,  pro- 
fessor of  physics  at  SMC.  It  has  been 
concluded  by  Dr.  Cowerlin  that  the  left 
liind  leg  of  a  Wilshire  Terrier  is  extremely  I 
similar  to  the  handle  of  a  monkey  wrenchf 
Therefore,  Dr.  Cowerlin  has  determined 
that  the  only  way  to  treat  a  Wilshire 
Terrier's  broken  right  hind  leg  is  to  weld  I 
it  back  together. 

Turning  now  to  behavioral  sciences. 
Dr.  Perry  Coughin,  professor  of  psycholoJ 
has  theorized  that  children  should  be  kepi 
in  line  by  severe  methods  of  punishment 
other  than  simple  beatings  or  floggings. 
Dr.  Coughin  cautions  that  parents  shouldl 
always  say  "I  love  you"  before  removing  | 
theii  children's  limbs,  "because  children 
need  to  be  assured."  Dr.  Coughins'  new  | 
motto  is  "Spare  the  rod-boil  the  child.' 

These  are  just  a  few  of  the  great 
achievements  by  the  SMC  faculty.  Next 
week  (if  you're  lucky)  this  section  of  the  | 
paper  will  be  devoted  to  inventions,  dis- 
coveries, theories,  and  achievements  by 
other  faculty  members  such  as  B.  0.  Gruii] 
Dean  Sticky,  Daddy  Zacheus,  and  D. 
Loverboy.

Travel 
and  adventure 
awaits  you. .. 

If  you're  a  normal,  ambitious  American  high  school  graduate,  you've  come  to  a 
time  in  your  life  when  you're  ready  to  bust  out.  You  want  more  than  to  spend  four  years  and 
$12,000  getting  a  college  education.    Maybe  you  want  to  see  more  of  the  world  than  your 
home  town.      You'd  like  to  travel,  meet  new  people,  make  new  friends.    Maybe  you'd  like  a 
job,  but  not  just  any  job.  A  job  with  a  good  future.  A  job  that  will  teach  you  a  skill  that  you 
can  develop  into  a  career. 

Then  Today's  Army  is  for  you.  In  the  Army  you  have  unmatched  opportunity  for 
travel.  Where  else  could  you  be  stationed  in  such  exotic  places  as  Nome,  Alaska;  Soul,  Korea; 
Greenland;  and  even  the  South  Pole.  Not  to  mention  some  of  the  long  time  favorites  like 
Phen  Pen,  Cambodia,  and  South  Viet  Nam.  And  as  for  meeting  new  people  where  else  could  you 
be  given  a  chance  to  have  a  first  hand  encounter  with  other  young  men  your  own  age  from  places 
like  Loas  or  North  Viet  Nam. 

Speaking  of  a  career,  you'll  be  given  on  the  job  training  in  such  highly  specialized  fields 
as  intermediate  range  artillery  gunning,  aerial  defoliation  techniques,  or  even  hand-to-hand  combat. 

If  ecology  is  your  bag,  then  we  can  place  you 
in  Antartica  or  Greenland  classifying  and  taging  penguins.  *BftiliWf\t  Al*lflV 

Speaking  of  a  career.  We'll  pay  you  $360.30  a

in  salaries  before  deductions.

the  job  goes  on  y^^j,  y^y  when  you  are  back  in  civilian

A.D.  Nursing  students  to  spend 
ne  semester  at  Madison  campus 


J  Effective  next  year,  the  A.D.  Nursing 
Indents  will  spend  one  semester  at  the 
lladison  campus  in  Nashville,  known  to 
Jome  as  SMC  West.  According  to  Dr. 
■link  Knittel,  president  of  the  coUege, 
■lis  program  was  carried  out  a  few  years 
Igobut  dropped  for  different  reasons. 
I  For  one,  it  was  impossible  to  keep  an 
Idequate  staff  employed.  Also,  the  hos- 
tlal  facilities  available  at  the  time  were 
Jellcient.  Even  though  the  students  were 
■lliciallyat  Madison,  they  spent  most  of 


their  time  at  hospitals  other  than  Madison. 

A  number  of  changes  have  taken  place 
at  Madison  to  insure  an  improved  curric- 
ulumn.  The  physical  plant  itself  is  being 
enlarged  to  serve  more  patients.  This, 
plus  the  addition  of  specialty  areas,  will 
attract  more  doctors  with  their  residencies 
behind  them  and  possible  faculty  members. 
Since  the  Board  of  Higher  Education  will 
no  longer  allow  a  nursing  program  with- 
out labs  in  an  SDA  hospital,  it  is  consid- 
I  ered  imperitive  that  this  action  be  taken. 


tion,  iMC  s  karate  club,  may  soon  under- 
go a  stabalizmg  change  or  two,  accorZ 
Dr  ChnTfch  '"*"  '"'  <iir;ctor,  when 
next  week  ""'"^°"'=«^<'^l= 

Dr  Washam  formerly  taught  karate  in 
addition  to  biology  and  cheiSl^try/ 
Southwestern  Union  College,  Keene  Texa' 
Insung  Lee  is  hoping  that  he  will  wa^    o 
continue  his  karate  interests  and  assisn 
teaching  the  15-20  member  SMC  club 

Insung,  a  junior  chemistry  major  who 
received  his  training  and  first  degree  black 
be  t  in  Korea,  organized  the  club  when  he 

tall  of  1 972^  Taught  once  a  semester,  the 
Tae  Kwon  Do-(the  Korean  form  of  karate) 
IS  now  in  Its  fourth  term,  meeting  regularlv 
on  Tuesday  nights  in  the  college  iym^ith- 
additional  meetings  from  time  to  time 
Membership  dues  are  used  for  demonstra- 
tion materials,  club  transportation,  and 
teaching  services. 

Last  semester  the  club  put  on  a  dem- 
onstration in  Louisville,  Kentucky  for  the 
Adventist  junior  academy,  and  another 
tor  the  women's  club  here.  Last  Wednes- 
day the  members  gave  an  excellent  dem- 
onstration for  the  Girl's  Club  of  America 
-  downtown  Chattanooga. 

The  club  originally  began  by  teaching 
the  basic  philosophies,  theories,  and  tech- 
niques comprising  the  art  of  karate.  But 
because  of  the  quick  turn-over  rate  in 
college  as  seniors  graduate  and  freshman 


enter,  the  club  has  adapted  its  program 
to  teach  mamly  the  practical,  basic  tech- 
niques. Those  individuals  who  des  re  to 
ZIm  "'f,"  '1°"^  P™fes'onal  lines  are 
worked  with  individually 

Insung  emphasized  the  misconception 
.>™ny  people  have  of  the  self-defense  art" 
They  come  to  class  asking  how  many 
boards  1  can  break."  he  says.  But  he  is 
quick  to  point  out  that  breaking  boards 
or  bricks  IS  merely  demonstration  show 
for  spectators.  It  shows  in  visible  form 
some  of  the  theories  embodied  in  karate- 
speed,  balance,  concentration  of  force 
breath  control,  and  reaction  force.      ' 

Insung's  hopes  are  that  sometime  soon 
all  the  Adventist  karate  experts  from 
places  such  as  Andrews  University  and 
southern  California  can  have  a  conven- 
tion to  give  demonstrations  and  to  share 
ideas.  This  would  be  especially  unique 
in  view  of  the  non -violent  aspects  stressed 
by  Adventists. 

This  summer,  Insung  hopes  to  be  able 
to  offer  a  three  month  course  at  SMC. 
He  may  also  be  teaching  professionally 
downtown. 

Although  much  of  the  planning  is 
still  on  the  drawing  board  the  club  shows 
signs  of  bright  future. 

One  of  the  activities  of  the  Apr.  1 1 
decentralized  chapel  will  be  a  demonstra- 
tion by  the  Southern  Tae  Kwon  Do  karate 
club  under  the  direction  of  Insung  Lee  and, 
I  hopefully,  Dr.  Clint  Washam.

4      The  Southern  Accent 


AprU3,1974 


Five  games  were  played  in  soccer  this 
<jast  week  as  the  Mustangs  widened  their 
1,  -kA  to  three  points  over  the  second  place 
Li  ,ns.  The  Mustangs  shut  out  both  op- 
ponents last  week,  blanking  the  Bearcats 
2-0  and  the  Lions  3-0.  The  Lions,  despite 
their  loss  to  the  Mustangs,  captured  a  win 
last  week  with  a  5-2  decision  over  the 
Grasshoppers.  In  that  game  Wonil  Kim 
kicked  four  goals,  with  assists  from  Joe 
Kolesnikoff  on  two  of  the  goals  and 
Denzil  Newman  assisting  on  one,  to 
spark  the  Lions  to  an  important  win. 
The  Hammers  pulled  up  some  in  the 
standings  by  defeating  the  Bearcats  4-1. 
High  scorer  in  that  was  Craig  Waters  with 
two  goals.  The  Grasshoppers  had  a  so-so 
week  by  nipping  the  Bearcats  3-2  and 
losing  decisively  to  the  Lions  5-2.  The 
Bearcats  couldn't  get  anything  going 
last  week  as  they  fell  to  defeat  in  their 
three  scheduled  games. 

The  "Player  of  the  Week"  award  goes 
to  Wonil  Kim,  who  scored  four  goals  in 
a  single  game.  His  quick  moves  and  agile 
mobility  are  his  assets  along  with  good 
team  play.  Our  congradulations  to  Wonil 
Kim.

Southern  Accent  staff  members  were 
irprised  bul  pleased  to  receive  a  check  for 
il,000  in  yesterday's  11  o'clock  chapel. 
Mr,  Harland  A.  Johnston,  a  retired 
jness  man  from  Mountain  View,  Ca.  and 
Mtner  SMC  faculty  member,  surprised  fac- 
ulty and  students  alike  with  his  presentation 

step  up  the  tone  of  the  paper  in 
iijyway  necessary." 
W.  Johnston  had  expressed  his  desire 
assist  the  paper  in  a  letter  mailed  to  the 
iiblication  last  March.  The  letter,  how- 
11.  was  never  received.  When  he  received 
reply  from  the  newspaper,  Mr.  Johnston 
bred  3  long  distance  call  to  the  college, 
foming  them  of  his  arrival.  He  was  met 
Lovell  Field  yesterday  and  escorted  to 
rapus,  where  he  remains  a  guest  of  the

Accent  regarding  the  invalidity  of  the  SA. 
But,  he  insists  that  a  good  President  should 
be  aware  of  the  defects  of  the  organization 
over  which  he  presides.   He  further  states 
that  he  did  not  stop  short  by  simply  point- 
ing out  the  flaws  of  the  SA,  but  that  he 
and  tour  other  SA  oflicers  drew  up  the 
proposal  to  change  the  SA  constitution  to 
what  it  is  now. 

As  far  as  leadership  abiUties  are  concern- 
ed, Hallock  states  that  because  of  the  experi- 
ence he  gained  from  being  part  of  the  South- 
ern Accent  staff  for  the  past  three  years  and 
specifically  that  of  editor  last  semester,  he 
feels  he  understands  the  inner  working  of 
theSA. 

Gale  Jfflies,  a  junior  music  major,  sets 
her  platform  on  a  paragraph  taken  from  the 
book  Education  page  13,  "True  education 
means  more  than  the  pursual  of  a  certain 
course  of  study.    It  means  more  than  a  prep- 
aration for  the  life  that  is  now.    It  has  to  do 
with   the  whole  being. .  .  It  is  the  harmonious 
development  of  the  physical,  the  mental  and 
the  spiritual  power." 

In  order  to  faciUtate  the  powers  of  the 
physical  development,  Jones  would  like  to 
initiate  an  SA  sponsored  walk-a-thon,  a 
running  program  like  Around  the  World  in 
80  days,  or  a  bicycle-a-thon. 

Secondly,  Jones  would  hke  to  begin  an 
SA  project  deslpied  to  teach  students  how 
to  study.   These  would  be  weekly  sessions 
geared  mainly  to  incoming  freshmen  who 
find  it  difficult  to  change  from  academy 
to  college  life. 

Thirdly,  an  SA  sponsored  Big  Brother  and  > 
Big  Sister  or^nization  would  be  most 
helpful  in  helping  students  become  person- 
ally involved  in  the  welfare  of  another 
individual  student,  according  to  Jones. 

Finally,  Jones  feels  that  a  lot  mote  school 
spirit  is  needed.   An  SMC  rally  day,  with 
flags,  signs  and  parades  to  promote  the  col- 
lege would  cure  this,  thinks  Jones.   She 
promises  one  thing-to  write  a  new  school 
song  for  the  occasion. 

Brenda  Kepplo-,  a  junior  medical  tech- 
nology major,  has  set  up  a  series  of  programs 
would  begin  if  elected;  1)   Set  aside  an 
1  for  students  to  wash  and  do  mechanical 
I  work  on  their  cars.    A  pit  would  be  provided 
I  and  funds  would  be  set  aside  to  pay  some- 


one to  supervise  and  maintain,  2)   A  pavilion 
in  the  student  park,  3)   Typewriters  In  the 
library  for  student  use,  4)   A  series  of  about 
25  two-hour  lectures  on  such  practical  sub- 
jects as  filhng  out  income  tax  forms,  buying 
insurance,  buying  appliances,  self-defense, 
buying  used  cars,  et  cetera.    She  maintains 
that  the  SA  Senate  would  be  run  proficiently 
with  nothing  but  business  being  discussed. 

She  admits  that  she  has  had  no  previous 
experience  in  student  government,  but  says 
that  "this  may  be  a  good  time  to  inject  new 
ideas  and  philosophies  into  the  SA  from  some- 

who  does  not  know  all  the  previous 
methods  of  operation." 

SA  Vfce^President 

The  platforms  of  the  SA  Vice-Presidential 
candidates  will  now  be  siimmarized.  First 
that  of  Grenville  Foster. 

Croiville  Foster,  a  junior  communica- 
tion major,  hails  from  Great  Britain  and  at- 
tended Newbold  College  where  he  held  the 
foltowuig  positions  during  his  two-year  stay; 
Vice-President  of  the  Mens  Club,  President 
of  the  Social  Committee,  and  Business 
Manager  for  the  school  newspaper. 

One  thing  Foster  feels  strong  about  is 
the  representation  of  the  village  students, 
"They  should  be  considered  and  I  believe 
that  it  is  a  good  idea  to  have  some  village 
representation  in  the  SA-"  Foster  is 
married  and  lives  in  the  village. 

Foster  also  maintains  that  he  will  serve 
the  entire  year  without  any  hint  of  resign- 
ing after  one  semester  was  completed  as 
happened  in  two  major  SA  offices  in  the 
last  two  years. 

Jidie  LanBCHi,  a  sophomoee  interior  de- 
jtgn  major,  sets  up  the  major  part  of  her 
platform  on  the  pledge  that  she  will  ob- 
tain profitable,  entertaining  and  intelligent 
speakers.  Some  possible  speakers  Lamson 
.nentions  m  her  platform  are  Paul  Harvey, 
an  ABC  news  commentator,  Pat  Paulson,  a 
satarist,  Grace  Halsell,  a  while  southern  wo- 
man who  changed  her  skin  color  from  white 
to  black  and  went  to  work  in  Harlem,  Don 
Rather,  a  CBS  news  correspondent,  and 
Peter  Yarrow,  a  musician  formerly  of  Peter, 
Paul  and  Mary.  Lamson  admits  the  need 
for  a  larger  budget  to  obtain  any  of  these 


u)d 


Lamson  concludes  her  platform  by 
tating,  "When  ajob  needs  to  be  done,  I 
m  not  the  kind  of  woman  to  sit  around 
in  my  better  side." 

Bob  Swaffoid,  a  junior  religion  major, 
would  like  to  see  more  student  talent 
utilized  tiuoughout  the  year.  He  also 
like  to  see  more  students  involved  in  activ- 
ities on  the  weekends  like  camping,  skiing 
trips,  concerts,  and  other  programs  outside 
of  the  campus.  He  would  also  set  up  a 
public  relations  program  between  other 
sister  Adventist  colleges  and  colleges  in  the 

looga  area.  He  also  promises  to 
work  closely  with  the  SA  President,  con- 

the  high  quality  of  speakers  hired 
for  the  SA  lecture  series,  and  accomplish 
reforms  without  alienating  the  students 
and  faculty  members. 

Swafford  is  currently  representing  a 
village  precinct  and  feels  that  this  past 
has  given  him  insight  into  SA  structure. 

B31  Taylor  n,a  junior  business  ad- 
ministraaon  major,  plans  to  continue 
many  of  the  S  A  programs  just  now  emer- 
ging; decentralized  chapels  for  one.  He  also 
applauds  the  new  SA  constitution.  Taylor 
feels  that  because  of  the  unique  position 
living  in  the  dormitory  while  having  a 
mc  in  the  village  helps  him  to  be  sen- 
ive  to  the  problems  of  the  CoUegedale  and 
the  Chattanooga  area  and  how  they  relate 
to  the  Southern  Missionary  College  student 

He  feels  that  management  needs  to  be 
applied  to  a  position  of  this  sort  and  thinks 
that  studies  in  his  major  field  will  help  him 
tills  area. 
Thus  ends  the  major  objectives  of  those 
running  for  President  and  Vice-President 
Now,  a  brief  summarization  of  those  who 
running  for  the  SA  publications.  First 
those  of  the  Southern  Memories  contenders, 
Joseph  Rudd  and  Brad  Davis. 

Southern  Memories 

ftad  Cbvis,  a  junior  behavioral  science 
najor,  has  as  his  major  platform  the  qualifi- 
s  he  has  accumulated  over  the  years 
jnamely,  a  four  year  bachelors  degree  in 
I  Photography  and  Advertising.  He  has  pro- 
[duced  industrial  brochures  for  major  cor- 
tporations  as  well  as  worked  on  three  annuals

Why  Vote? 

Thursday  and  Friday  of  this  week  we  are  faced 
with  another  SA  election,  and  if  the  past  can  be  used 
to  predict  the  future,  this  election  will  receive  about 
the  same  interest  as  a  tortoise  race  and  not  nearly 
as  much  enthusiasm.    SA  elections  have  been  rating 
right  up  there  with  mandatory  chapels  and  College 
Davs  in  student  popularity  polls. 

It  seems  that  most  of  us  just  do  not  want  to  be 
burdened  with  making  any  decision  about  who  should 
be  next  year's  SA  officers.    "Vm  just  too  busy  to 
wade  through  all  those  ridiculous  platforms,  and  I 
just  wouldn't  feel  right  voting  without  putting  any 
thought  or  consideration  into  it,"  one  coed  mentioned. 
Another  stated  that  he  didn't  feel  that  his   "one 
vote""  would  make  any  difference. 

So  another  election  will  come  and  go  just  as 
it  has  in  the  past  with  possibly  only  one  out  of 
three  voting;  or  no,  maybe  this  time  it  won't  even 
be  one  out  of  ten. 

It  seems  a  shame  that  so  much  effort  and 
work  has  to  be  done  by  so  few  when  we  as  stud- 
ents are  just  too  lazy  or  too  selfish  to  take  five 
minutes  out  to  vote. 

And  you  say,  "Well,  the  SA  never  does  any- 
thing anyway."'    You'd  be  surprised  how  much 
could  be  done  by  some  well-chosen  officers  who 
have  the  strong  backing  of  the  student  body. 

At  stake  in  this  election  is  the  question  of 
who  will  control  over  530,000.00  of  your  money, 
but  even  more  important  is  the  influence  these 
officers  will  have  in  determining  such  things  as 
the  SA  Chapels,  Saturday  night  programs,  and 
what  students  will  serve  on  the  faculty  comm- 
ittees, not  to  mention  the  fate  of  the  three 
publications. 

All  is  needed  is  a  tittle  motivation  on  your 
part  and  about  five  minutes  of  your  time  to 

vote.  _oariiw 


Drawl  back 

Last  week  marked  the  arrival  of  SMC's  first 
"April  Fools"  supplement  to  the  Accent,  the  South- 
em  Drawl.    Since  we  have  received  no  letters  to 
the  editors  concerning  their  effort,  we  can  can 
only  base  our  assumption  of  general  public  opinion 
on  what  students,  faculty,  and  administrators  have 
said  to  us  personally. 

Our  "Dear  Gabby"  column  was  a  real  favorite 
among  many  students.    Some  even  went  so  far  as 
to  say,  "Have  'Dear  Gabby'  in  every  week  so  we 
can  write  into  her  and  ask  questions."    This  is  a 
move  we  are  still  contemplating. 

The  Accent  has  gotten  a  couple  of  calls 
asking  where  to  find  out  more  about  the  loveable 
python  mentioned  in  the  Drawl's  classified  ads 
section. 

Dr.  Kiiittel  and  Dean  Spears  said  the  Drawl 
was  "great."    James  Hannum's  favorite  saying 
from  the  Drawl  was  "If  we  can't  nip  it  in  the  bud 
we'll  kick  it  in  the  bud."    Bob  Zima  thought 
the  mobile  crime  lab  story  "was  the  funniest 
part  of  the  paper.    Mrs.  Genevieve  McKormick 
did  not  like  the  Drawl,  and  1  got  five  copies 
for  his  mother,  even  though  I  wasn't  on  the 
front  page. 

Hopefully,  next  year's  Southern  Accent 
editor  will  put  a  similar  "April  Fools"  edition, 
ni  be  somewhere  looking.  -grimsley

t  was  intrigued  bv  ' 
of  the  Collegedale  Road  System  Article 
in  March  27's  issue  of  the  Acce?U.  para- 
graph 1:    "Another  related  project  hinging 
on  a  decision  by  the  railroad  tracks..."  I 
couldn't  quite  understand  if  the  railroad 
tracks  are  involved  in  decision  making 
these  days,  or  if  this  is  the  favoirte  retreat 
of  the  Committee  who  makes  these  de- 
cisions.  Perhaps  it  is  to  favor  those  with 
one-track  minds,  or  are  they  railroading 
it  through  the  Committee?  There  are  all 
kinds  of  wonderful  possibilities.

understandable.    If  he  were  smoking 
cigarettes  we  might  ask  him  to  stop.   But 

hardly  enough  for  which  to  deny  someone 
a  meal.  Something  should  be  done  to 
change  the  current  policy. 

Here  are  a  few  alternatives; 

Change  the  rule  for  visitors.  Allow  therr 
to  dress  as  they  please,  especially  if  they  are 
a  guest  of  the  college.   Or, 

Erect  a  small  box  at  each  campus  entrance  | 
and  fill  it  with  student  handbooks.   If  a  sign 
were  placed  over  it  reading,  "Read  this  before 


Dear  Editors: 

Another  irony  linconsistencyl  in  the 
continuing  issue  over  pants  attire: 

During  college  days  a  visiting  prospec- 
tive student  entered  the  cafeteria  for  sup- 
per. Although  she  had  her  visitor's  card 
prominantly  displayed,  she  was  refused 
access  to  the  serving  area  because  she  was 
wearing  a  neat  pant  suit.  She  returned  to 
the  dorm  and  skipped  supper.  She  is  no 
longer  a  prospective  student. 

This  is  not  the  fir^t  time  this  has  hap- 
pened. In  another  instance,  a  friend  of 
mine  was  told  to  leave  while  she  was  half- 
way through  the  serving  line  because  she 
was  attired  in  pants  and  a  blouse.  When 
I  told  the  kitchen-worker  that  she  was  a 
visitor  he  replied  that  this  made  no  dif- 

Not  only  is  this  bad  business  (no  signs 
were  displayed  as  to  appropriate  attire)  but 
it  is  potentially  devastating  PR  as  well. 

It  is  understandable  that  the  college 
would  want  its  students  to  abide  by  the 
rules.  Students  signed  a  pledge  to  this  affect. 
Yet  visitors  fall  into  a  completely  different 
catagory.  In  one's  house,  an  individual 
would  treat  visitors'  conduct  differently 
from  that  of  those  in  his  own  family.  If 
a  visitor  to  the  campus  was  smoking  pot 
strong  administrative  action  might  be

Eliminate  the  no  pants  attire  rule  altoget- 
her.  If  Dr.  Knittel  had  wanted  to  see  some 
other  signed  viewpoints  the  last  time  the 
issue  came  before  Faculty  Senate,  he  could 
have  consulted  his  school  paper.   Of  five  let- 
ters to  the  editor  sent  this  year  concerning 
this  part  of  student  life  four  were  in  favor 
of  pant  suits.  As  it  was,  the  way  the  issue 
was  treated  seemed  somewhat  analogous  to 
the  Bell-Tower  survey  in  the  April  Fool's 
edition  of  the  paper. 

Maybe  visitors  in  the  future  will  be  treated  | 
n  decency,  consistantly.

program.  '-"™ 

The  aim  of  the  program,  which  will  be 
cenlered  at  South  China  Union  College  m 
Clear  Water  Bay,  Hong  Kong,  is  to  prfnare 
a  se  ee,  group  of  students  to'work  i'n  he

as  teachers,  ministers,  medical  workers 
office  personnel,  linguists,  etc,  through 
competence  in  the  Mandarin  Chinese  lan- 
guage. 

The  program  further  aims  to  develop 
expertise  in  Asian  and  Oriental  studies 
students  studying  in  that  field  will  gain 
first-hand  knowledge  of  the  problems, 
religions,  history  and  culture  of  the 
Orient. 

Individual  colleges  will  grant  credit 
an  interdisciplinary  basis.  The  course 
of  study  will  follow  a  modified  Asian 
studies  format.  All  classes  except  lan- 
guage will  be  taught  in  English. 
The  curriculum  will  center  upon 


study  of  Mandarin  Chinese  (10  hours 
per  quarter).  Other  courses  in  religion 
history  and  political  science  and  Hi  ' 
Eastern  culture  will  be  offered  to  complete 
a  16  to  18  hour  load. 

The  program  cost  is  projected  at  S2825 
which  Will  mclude  room,  board,  tuition  for

icaraguan  government  donates

"ilrtady  built,  to  the  SMC  mis-

t  and  said  that  he  had 
'  presentation.  He  was 
■  he  had 


laskf 
Wsted  the  donation  be- 


own."  The  government  apparently  real- 
ized this  and  fearing  the  SMC's  mission 
program  would  be  discontinued,  donated 
the  land.  "We  are  fortunate,"  said  Aussner, 
"in  that  we  are  the  only  denomination 
having  land  donated  to  us  in  Nicaragua. 
Other  denominations  have  to  ask  for  it, 
then  pay  for  it." 

A  large  majority  of  the  250  acres  in- 
cludes and  surrounds  the  mission  station. 
This  acreage  will  be  used  for  the  building 
of  a  twelve  bed  hospital  and  boarding 
academy,  and  the  cultivating  of  an 
experimental  farm.  If  successful,  this 
farm  would  provide  food  for  the  hospital 
and  boarding  academy,  and  provide 
work  ibr  tlie  academy  students.  This 
would  greatly  aid  in  Dr.  Aussner's  wish 
for  the  mission  station  to  become  self- 
sufficient. 

Dr.  Aussner  also  mentioned  that  the 
I.A.N.,  Inslituto  Agrario  de  Nicaragua, 
has  offered  lo  match  whatever  is  invested 
in  the  mission  program.  "For  whatever 
amount  we  put  into  the  program,  the 
I.A.N,  will  call  3/5  and  then  complete 
the  sum  by  giving  ihc  mission  2/5." 
For  example,  every  S300  put  into  the 
mission  the  I.A.N,  will  donate  S200.

As  a  result  of  the  retirement  of  Mrs. 
Jones,  who  has  been  the  dean  of  women 
at  SMC's  Orlando  Campus,  Mrs.  Rees  is 
leaving  her  position  as  assistant  dean  in 
Thatcher  Hall  to  fill  this  vacancy  in  Or- 
lando. She  has  been  dean  her  for  seven 
years,  and  is  retiring,  but  still  will  retain 
her  dean  position  in  Orlando. 

Coming  from  Highland  View  Academy, 
located  in  the  Chesapeake  Conference,  is 
Janice  Gammenthaler,  a  single  woman, 
who  has  been  dean  of  women  there  for 
four  years.  She  is  a  graduate  of  SMC,  of 
the  1969  class,  and  holds  a  BS  degree  in 
Home  Economics.  While  at  Forest  Lake 
Academy,  following  her  graduation,  she 
taught  classes  in  Home  Economics  for  two 
years.  From  there  she  began  her  dean  of 
menjobalHVA. 

Upon  interview  with  Dean  Stucky.  it 
was  expressed  that  employ  ment  of  a  non- 
married  dean  would  best  facilitate  the 
program,  as  this  would  give  evidence  of 
a  single  women  fulfilling  a  successful  role 
in  hfe,  and  would  give  added  dimension 
to  the  concept  of  women  and  their  various 
life  Styles.  Dean  Stucky  also  expressed 
anticipation,  and  expectations  that  Janice 
Gammenthaler  would  add  greatly  to  the 
atmosphere  in  Thatcher  Hall.

The  engineering  degree  offered  by 
Walla  Walla  College  is  now  affiliated  witli 
SMC.    The  affiliation,  a  loose  agreement 
among  all  SDA  schools  in  the  U.S.  in- 
cluding SMC,  was  instituted  last  'year. 
Dr.  Norman  Peek,  head  of  the  Audio- 
Visual  Departmenl,  said.    Dr.  Peck  is  the 
representative  for  the  affiliation  at  SMC. 

Consisting  of  two  years  of  attendance 
here  and  then  two  years  at  Walla  Walla. 
the  agreement  allows  students  to  attend 
school  nearer  their  home  for  two  years 
oefore  going  to  Walla  Walla. 

Courses  of  study  necessary  for  the 
first  two  years  at  SMC  include  physics, 
some  maths,  chemistry,  and  drafting,  Dr. 
Peek  said, 

"All  the  basic  courses  needed  for  ad- 
mission to  the  program  arc  offered  here 
it  SMC.  with  the  possible  exccplion  of 
one."  Dr.  Peek  stated.    "That  could

A  small  scholarship  is  also  possible 
for  third  and  fourth  year  students  who 
attend  Walla  Walla  for  the  other  union 
schools.  The  scholarships,  designed  to 
help  students  with  transportation  costs, 
irc  set  up  proportional  to  the  distance 
(ravelled  to  get  to  the  school. 

Dr.  Peek  emphasised  the  fact  that, 
if  proper  courses  are  taken  during  the 
first  two  years,  the  students  would  not 
lose  any  credit  in  the  transfer  to  Walla 
Walla. 

The  engineering  department  at  Walla 
Walla  College  is  staffed  by  seven  teachers. 
A  hundred  to  a  hundred  and  twenty-five 
students  are  enrolled  in  the  program 
with  approximately  20  graduates  per  year. 
The  Bachelor  of  Science  degree  offered  in 
engineering  can  be  taken  with  electrical, 
mechanical;  or  civil  emphasis,  Dr.  Peek 

"While  there  has  been  talk  of  a  large 
surplus  of  graduates  in  the  engineering 
field,  this  hasn't  been  felt  too  hard  at 
Walla  Walla,"  Dr.  Peek  stated.    "Wliat  it 
amounts  lo  is  that  whereas,  before  the 
surplus,  students  got  five-ten  job  pffers, 
now  they  get  two-three  offers.    Walla 
Walla  said  their  graduates  have  never 
to  find  jobs  in  engineering.

Lions  slip  past  Hammers  3-2 

Freshmen  defeated  by  academy  seniors  9-3 
in  Softball  action 


Tluce  games  were  played  in  soccer  this 
past  week.  The  Mustangs  were  silent  while 
the  Lions  pulled  up  in  points  with  a  win 
over  the  Hammers  3-2  and  a  deadlock  de- 
cision with  the  Bearcats  1-1.  In  the  other 
game  played  the  Hammers  and  Grasshoppers 
battled  to  a  scoreless  tie.  Each  team  had  a 
chance  to  score  at  one  time  or  another. 
Craig  Waters  (Hammers)  had  a  chance  to 
score  with  a  free  shot  but  failed  and  Fred 
Hoover  (Grasshoppers)  rined  several  shots 
toward  the  Hammers  goal  but  Jim  Woolley 
(Hammers  Goalie)  stifled  each  shot  Fred 

Tliis  last  Sunday  and  Monday  the  SMC 
campus  was  packed  with  academy  and 
high  school  seniors.  On  Sunday  the 
academy  seniors  challenged  the  college 
freshman  to  a  slow  pitch  softball  game  and 
creamed  the  dazed  college  team  9-3.  The 
college  team  was  shut  out  untU  the  bottom 
of  the  seventh  when  they  managed  to  get 
three  runs  on  four  hits.  The  academy  team 
played  exceUent  team  ball,  both  offensively 
and  defensively.  Stais  on  offense  for  the 
academy  team  were  Bobby  Hoover  (Forest 
Lake  Academy)  who  collected  three  hits 
(one  a  towering  homer);  and  Thorn  Altemose 
with  a  single  and  double.  Defensively  the 
academy  team  made  many  great  plays.  The 


best  defensive  player  in  the  game  was 
Steve "Bietz  (Georgia-Cumberland  Academy},, 
who  made  several  excellent  plays  at  third 
base.  Steve  also  went  one  for  two  and  a 

walk  from  the  plate  and  scored  twice. 
On  Monday  the  college  freshman 

struck  back  with  65-57  decision  over  the 

academy  seniors  in  a  game  of  basketball. 

Rick  Frazier  led  the  college  team  with  27 

points  while  Kim  Peden  (Collegedale  Acad. 

emy)  was  the  hot  gun  for  the  visitors  with 

28  points.

think  1 II  buy  myself  a  new  dress     " 

On  the  serious  side,  she  repiied,  "Nat- 
urally, I  want  to  thank  the  student  body  for 
heir  support,  and  I'll  do  my  best  to  earn  the 
confidence  they've  shown  in  me." 

When  asked  about  her  plans  for  next  year 
Gale  replied,  "What  I  have  to  do  first  is  ap- 
point a  cabinet-this  is  the  main  thing  on  my 
mind  right  now.  I'll  spend  the  remaining 
few  wetks  of  th£  school  year  and  the  coming 
summer  months  laying  the  foundation  for  my 
next  year's  work  so  that  we  can  start  right  in 
in  the  fall.  ^ 

"I'll  direct  my  main  effort  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  year  to  the  incoming  freshman. 
We'll  meet  them  at  the  door  at  registration 
and  be  around  from  then  on.  We  want  them 
to  know  they  have  an  active  and  concerned 
SA." 

Greenvile  Foster  displayed  in  the  interview 
the  excitement  he  felt  at  the  election  results. 
"I'm  anticipating  a  very  good  year  next  year. 
It  was  very  encouraging  to  see  the  enthusiasm 
displayed  by  the  students  in  this  week's  elec- 
tions." 

One  thing  Foster  is  especially  concerned 
about  in  next  year's  SA  is  the  social  activities. 
"I'd  like  to  see  the  students  become  partici- 
pants in  SA  functions  rather  than  mere  on- 
lookers as  it  has  been  too  often  in  the  past. 
After  all,  we  officers  are  here  to  serve  and  in- 
volve the  student  body." 

Foster  is  anxious  for  the  students  to  come 
directly  to  their  officers  with  ideas  and  sug- 
gestions for  the  betterment  of  SMC.    "The  SA 
officers  have  their  hands  tied_  without  the 
support  of  the  student  body,"  he  said. 

"Almost  one  half  of  the  student  body  voted 
last  week,"  stated  Bob  Zima,  current  executive 
VP.  for  the  S.A.  "That's  a  good  turnout  for 
any  election,"

Annual  delivery  delayed  until  June  8th 


Anticipation  among  students  increases  as  the 
school  year  speedily  draws  to  a  close.    Every- 
one looks  forward  to  the  termination  of  another 
year's  labors,  to  graduation  and  to  time-to  rera- 
iniinsce  with  their  yearbook  and  remember  the 

good  ole'  days"  of  the  year  about  to  close.  This 
y^ar,  being  no  different  than  any  other,  these 
fame  thoughts  begin  to  enter  the  minds  of  many, 
""'with  slight  yet  important  difference  this  year, 
^"C  students  will  be  heading  home  without  their 
annuals. 

Southern  Memories,  the  SMC  yearbook,  had 
'aditionally  arrived  on. campus  each  Spring.   Un- 
'"  "fee  years  ago  when  Sandi  Lechler,  then 
ftithem  Memories  editor,  negotiated  and  signed 
a  two  year  contract  with  Hunter  Publishing  Com- 
pany for  delivery  in  September  of  the  following 
y^ar.   The  venture  into  a  Fall  delivery  proved  to 
ne  largely  unsuccessful  and  an  unpopular  venture. 
J^xe  of  the  major  pitfalls  was  the  problem  of  get- 
'ng  the  yearbook  to  those  students  who  didn  t 
^™m  the  following  year.    Though  much  effort 
*as  made  by  S.M.  staff  members  to  mail  annuals 
"  the  non-returning  students,  stacks  of  hterally 
""ndreds  of  1972  and  1973  annuals  testify  to 
"f  fact  that  many  just  never  received  these  nos- 
'='E>a  niled  binders 

With  the  trouble-ridden  time  that  had  been 
^"d  by  his  predecessor  burning  vividly  in  the 
^"^niory  of  the  then  newly  elected  S.M.  editor, 
t^"^  Haugen  it  was  not  a  hard  decision  to  re- 

'"  '0  a  Spring  delivery. 


According  to  Haugen,  "For  the  first  time 
in  recent  history  at  SMC  we  went  out  to  several 
publishers  to  do  competitive  bargaining."  As  a 
result  Haugen  was  able  to  save  over  $575-by 
switching  to  Joestan  American  Publishing  Com- 
pany   Haugen  went  on  to  state  that  this  year's 
annual  will  have  a  full  color  cover  and  sixteen 
pages  of  color  photos  which  are  both  direct  re- 
sults of  their  bargaining  with  the  publishers. 

One  of  the  unique  features  of  this  year  s 
yearbook  is  its  size  which  is  appropriately  9 
inches  square.  Work  on  the  Memories  was  rap- 
ped up  in  late  February  and  all  that  was  left 
was  to  wait  for  it  to  arrive.  "The  publisher  told 
us  that  we'd  have  it  eight  weeks  after  they  re- 
ceived our  last  copy,"  reported  Doug  Faust, 
SM  Business  Manager.  This  put  the  Memories 
to  come  out  the  Sunday  before  test  week  be- 

^""while  home  on  Spring  Vacation  in  early 
March,  Haugen,  being  finished  with  his  duties 
as  SM  editor,  transferred  to  Georgia  State  U- 
n  verity.  "After  I  left  SMC,  I  called  the  ad- 
V  sor  at  the  press  and  changed  a  couple  of  items 
that  miuht  have  been  questionable  in  order  to 
avoid  any  problems  that  might  arise  between 
the  college  and  me,"  Haugen  said 

menihe  Accent  first  got  wmd  of  the  pos- 
sible  delayed  arrival  of  the  yearbook,  they  went 
o  Elder  K.  R.  Davis,  faculty  sponsor  of  the  SA 
0  enlist  his  help  in  asscertaining  the  facts.  Eld. 
Davis  was  less  than  cordial  when  approached. 


He  made  several  statements  in  regard  to  the 
yearbook  then  he  followed  each  remark  by  say- 
ing that  he  did  not  want  to  be  quoted  on  that. 
He  said,  "Just  put  in  the  paper  that  ihs Mem- 
ories will  be  late  because  of  deadlines  that  were 
not  met." 

When  the  Accent  telephoned  the  publishers 
a  much  more  vivid  account  of  the  preceeding 
events  began  to  unfold. 

According  to  the  production  manager  for 
Joeston  American,  the  Memories  met  their  final 
deadline  in  time  and  the  Memories  was  expected 
to  have  been  out  by  the  first  week  in  May. 

"1  took  the  final  copy  to  the  press  personally" 
stated  Haugen,  "we  went  over  it  item  by  item 
with  Gary  Dyer,  our  advisor,  and  he  told  us  we 
were  two  days  ahead  of  the  deadline  for  plant 
time." 

In  futher  discussion  with  sources  at  the  pub- 
lisher the  Accent  came  upon  the  real  causes  for 
late  delivery  of  die  annual;  now  projected  to 
premier  in  Collegedale  around  June  8~over  one 
month  late. 

They  said  that  on  a  Thursday  shortly  after 
Spring  break.  Elder  Davis  called  the  publishers 
wanting  to  see  proofs  of  the  total  SM  before  it 
was  printed.  "Davis  appeared  to  be  worried  be- 
cause of  the  editors  sudden  transfer  to  another 
college.  Elder  Davis  was  afraid  that  something 
about  the  annual  m.ght  be  the  cause  for  Haugen 
leaving,"  stated  a  press  source.

Up  from 

submission 

to  what? 


For  years  we've  been  hearing  that  creative  people  in  Ameri- 
ca are  -  like  gasoline,  golden  eagles,  and  campus  riots  -  becoming 
scarcer  and  scarcer.  To  which  many  feminists  reply,  "Just  wait 
until  we  'new'  women  find  our  voices,  then  you'U  see  the  reil 
stuff  again." 

Apparently,  this  boast  was  hasty  and  naive.  Women  may 
have  "come  a  long  way,  baby,"  but  if  their  creative  efforts- 
the  books,  magazines,  films,  canvases,  TV  shows,  plays  and  the 
poems-are  any  indication,  it  isn't  nearly  far  enough.  The  sad 
truth  is  that  the  words  women  are  writing,  the  magazines  they're 
editing,  and  the  shows  they're  producing  sound  almost  exactly 
like  what  their  husbands  have  been  turning  out  for  years. 

In  fact,  women  are  going  men  one  better;  They're  running 
faster,  swinging  harder,  and  playing  rougher.  The  writing  they're 
doing  in  Ms.  magazine  is  so  hard-edged,  so  tough,  that  it  makes 
any  of  the  magazines  for  men  look  mushy  in  comparison.  Bella 
Abzug  and  Shirley  Chisolm,  the  new  kind  of  female  politician, 
practice  their  art  with  a  sharpness  that  their  male  colleagues 
can  only  envy. 

The  female  toughness  may  be  excused  as  an  entrance  fee,  a 
survival  device  that  women  feel  they  have  to  use.  But  what  it 
really  is,  it  seems  to  me,  is  a  capitrrlation  and  a  copout.  It's  as 
if  women  were  all  sticking  their  thumbs  under  their  overall 
straps  and  saying,  "See.  See  how  sharp  and  quick  our  little 
minds  are.  We  can  think  like  men  after  all.  We  can  even  out 
play  you  at  your  own  game."  But  finding  a  new  and  better 
game,  a  game  where  might  isn't  necessarily  right?  Have  wo- 
men thought  about  that? 

Now  don't  get  me  wrong,  what  I  want  for  women  is  equal 
rights-professional,  emotional,  sexual.  What  1  don't  want  is 
that  good  old  American  brand  of  equality  that  insists  that  wo- 
men are  not  equal  only  in  rights  but  in  body  and  soul  as  well. 
What  I  don't  want  is  for  women  to  give  up  their  specialness, 
their  female  ethnicity.  The  trouble  is  that  there  seems  to  be 
only  one  game  in  town.  And  like  the  blacks  who  had  to  take 
the  kinks  out  of  their  hair  and  the  jive  out  of  their  language  to 
get  into  the  game,  there  will  be  enormous  pressure  for  women 
to  leave  their  frills  at  the  entrance  gate.  Why  should  women 
want  to  eat,  sleep,  talk,  laugh,  act  or  write  like  me?  Why  should 
they  want  to  wear  a  handsome  suit,  carry  a  briefcase  and  antic- 
ipate clogged  arteries  at  40. 

I  worry  that  women  will  round-off  their  comers  to  slip  into 
the  game  unnoticed.  1  worry  that  women  will  aspire  to  be  a 
Sally  Qumn  or  a  Gloria  Steinem  rather  than  a  Pearl  S.  Buck  or 
an  Emily  Dickinson,  because  the  rewards  are  more  visible.  I 
fear  that  women  will  learn  all  the  short  cuts,  to  steal  all  the 
bases.  All  of  which  makes  me  wonder  if  women  will  ever  hit  a 
home  run,  or  even  try.  And  if  you  don't  hit  home  runs  why 
play  ball?

And  Now  The  Lemmies! 


Is  it  the  worst  commercial  that's  the  best  commercial?  It  seems  that  some 
Madison  Avenue  Admen  think  so.  They  believe  that  the  viewer  remembers  best 
the  spot  that  is  most  irritating  to  his  sensibility  and  insulting  to  his  intelligence. 
The  doctrine  is  most  likely  wrong,  but  its  adherents  cling  to  it  as  firmly  as  any 
Maoist  grasping  the  little  red  book.  In  the  mean  time  the  viewer  has  suffered     ■ 
in  silence. 

My  purpose  for  writing  this  is  twofold:  First,  to  call  your  attention  to  this 
insulting  problem.  And  second,  to  express  to  someone,  anyone,  the  intense 
frustration  I  experience  everyday.  All  1  can  hear  are  words  like,  "Ring  around 
the  collar,  ring  around  the  collar,"  coming  from  a  shrieking  parrot  to  a  guilt- 
ridden  hausfrau  who  forgot  to  use  Wisk. 

After  my  morning  shower,  1  go  to  use  my  Mitchum  Anti-Perspirant  and  in 
my  mind  1  see  a  bare-chested  fellow  leaning  out  of  bed  announcing  that  be- 
cause of  Mitchum  he  didn't  use  a  deodorant  yesterday,  and  does  not  plan  to  use 
one  today.  No  wonder  he's  sleeping  alone. 

I've  tried  others,  but  its  the  same  old  story.  When  I  use  Hour-After-Hour 
deodorant,  I  see  this  housewife  in  a  track  suit  running  around  her  kitchen  to       ' 
keep  it  spotless. 

Then  I'll  go  to  brush  my  teeth.  It's  terrible.  I'll  look  in  the  mirrow  and  see 
an  anogant  brat  interrupting  his  father,  busy  at  work,  to  armounce  that  because 
of  Crest  he  has  fewer  cavities.  From  the  Ford  commercial  the  guy  adds,  "I  didn't 
know  that."  1  haven't  even  gotten  out  of  my  house  yet. 

At  breakfast  while  spreading  my  toast  with  Imperial  Margarine,  I  have  to 
feel  my  head  to  see  if  a  crown  has  appeared.  Then  1  remember  "I  spread  with 
Imperial." 

Did  you  ever  see  the  ones  about  toilet  paper?  These  really  bother  me.  Here's 
a  group  of  half-crazed  women  pouncing  on  poor,  effeminate  store  manager  Mr. 
Whipple.  What  do  they  want?  Why,  to  squeeze  the  Charmin,  of  course. 

1  feel  for  the  poor  guy  who  doesn't  even  recognize  his  girl  because  she  is 
wearing  a  new  Playtex  Cross  Your  Heart  Bra. 

What  is  our  "highly  civilized"  society  turning  into-a  bunch  of  television 
addicts  like  me  who  are  slaves  to  the  incessant  repetition  of  obnoxious  TV  com-  I 
mercials-so  much  so  that  as  we  go  about  our  daily  routines  we  hear  these  things  ( 
over  and  over  in  our  minds?  Instead  of  emmy  awards,  I  think  they  should  give 
out  lemmy  awards-perhaps  a  walnut  plaque  topped  with  a  plastic  temmon  for 
the  worst  commercial. 

I  didn't  think  it  was  all  bad.  I  even  kind  of  enjoyed  the  Gillette  take  it  all  off  | 
commercials.  Then  they  tell  me  there's  these  sublimanal  influences  woven  in 
and  out  of  the  pictures-things  1  couldn't  possibly  print  in  this  article. 

Will  this  lonely  cry  ever  be  heard?  Probably  not.  In  the  next  generation, 
people  will  still  be  trying  Scope  that  a  friend  left  for  them,  and  exclaiming, 
"Why,  my  breath  feels  fresher  for  hours!"  ,    ,

VIEWPOINT 


April  17, 1974       The  SeiKhmMtecent-  igK"^ 


PRO 


.■  tell  mi 

my  husband.  "Demand  your  rights!"  they  urge.  1  don't"need 
to-God  gave  me  my  rights  as  an  individual  when  He  created 
me.  "Put  your  husband  in  his  place!"  He's  already 
there--as  head  of  our  home  and  doing  an  excellent  job 
of  it.  "Don't  let  anybody  stand  between  you  and 
your  rights  to  be  a  fulfilled  person-not  even  your 
children!"  Now  that's  going  too  far. 

I  resent  the  implication  that  being  a  wife  and 
mother  is  a  demeaning,  nonfulfilling,  second- 
rate  career.  The  downgrading  of  motherhood 
is  one  of  the  most  devastating  influences  of 
the  Women's  Liberation  Movement.  Children 
have  rights,  too,  the  right  to  a  full-time  mo- 
ther. The  Lord  never  intended  motherhood 
to  be  a  part-time  job.  it's  just  too  impor- 
tant. Jesus,  when  on  earth,  honored  His 
mother  and  took  time  for  the  children.  Can 
a  Christian  mother  do  less? 

There  is  no  career  that  demands  more  of 
a  woman's  intellectual,  physical,  and  spirit- 
ual abilities  as  does  that  of  a  homemaker. 
She  is  chief  cook,  laundering  and  cleaning 
woman.  She  is  also  teacher,  nurse,  guidance 
counselor,  accountant,  mediator,  hostess,  com- 
panion, and  much  more.  She  is  on  call  24  hours 
a  day-one  of  the  most  important  being  the  home- 
ftom-school  hour.  Few  children  enjoy  coming  home 
to  an  empty  house. 

The  Women's  Lib  Movement  has  influenced  countless 
numbers  of  women  to  leave  their  small  children  to  the  du- 
bious care  of  others  that  they  might  satisfy  their  own  egos 
something  they  have  accused  the  men  of  doing  for    - 
years.  What  may  have  begun  as  a  campaign  for  the 
good  of  others  has  degenerated  into  a  battle  for 
self-recognition  and  glorification,  a  principle  dia- 
metrically opposed  to  the  life  Christ  lived  on  this 
earth.  He  never  contended  for  His  rights. 

The  church  also  suffers  from  the  influence  of 
this  movement.  No  one  who  has  served  on  the 
nominating  committee. can  deny  this.  Many  wo- 
men who  work  full  time  feel  they  have  no  time  to 
assume  church  responsibilities. 

Women  do  themselves  a  disservice  by  assuming 
men's  role  ahd  responsibility  in  the  home  structure,  for  it  goes  again 
st  God's  plan  for  the  home.  Though  1  had  no  choice  in  being  born  a 
female  (I'm  delighted  to  be  one)  1  certainly  had  the  freedom  of 
choice  in  becoming  a  wife  and  mother.  And  when  1  made  this 
choice  I  acquired  certain  God-given  responsibilities  that  I  must  ac- 
count for  in  the  judgment.  There  is  no  excuse  for  me  not  to  do  my 
best.  God's  Word  tells  me  what  to  do,  the  Spirit  of  Prophecy  tells 
me  how  to  do  it,  and  the  Holy  Spirit  brings  peace  to  my  heart 
while  1  do  it. 

Women's  Lib?  No,  thanks.  I  have  a  mandate  from  my  Maker 
and  that  comes  first!

womanhood,

potential 

Shaping  a  pre-schooler's  character  is  the 
parents'  responsibility  and  should  not  be  trust- 
ed to  those  who  are  less  interested  in  the  child 
than  arc  Ihe  parents.  In  certain  unique  as- 
pects, the  mother  has  more  parental  respon- 
sibilily  than  does  the  father. 

Traditionally,  rearing  a  large  family  and 
maintaining  the  home  required  a  wife's 
whole  life.  Trying  to  support  the  family 
on  the  farm  usually  consumed  the  hus- 
band's whole  life. 

Then  came  the  world  wars,  and  wo- 
men were  needed  in  the  labor  market. 
Women  began  to  supplement  their  hus- 
bands' incomes. 

Now  we  live  in  the  age  of  the  nuclear 
family.    Bringing  more  than  two  children 
into  the  world  is  considered  undesirable 
This  creates  more  pre  and  post  child-rearing

Dear  Editors: 


I  would  like  to  address  myself  (c  ; 
l=m  which  has  cropped  up  c 
over  the  past  years,  and  has  been  brought  bc- 
lote  the  eyes  of  the  public  on  the  pages  of 
our  paper. 

Tills  problem  is  one  which  involves  one  of 
Ihc  basic  pillars  upon  which  our  school  is  built, 
the  belief  that  our  first  and  foremost  reason  for 
O'lng  here  is  to  obtain  a  Christian  education  ,  oi 
at  least  be  taught  the  Christian  philosophy  of 
'ifc.  This  is  the  point  at  which  so  many  seem 
10  stray.  They  seem  to  forget  that  we  aren't 
"U  perfect  nor  are  we  suppose  to  be.  We  are 
^uppose  to  be  growing,  not  be  grown.  There- 
lo'c,  if  we  make  mistakes  it  isn't  the  end.  only 
one  more  lesson  in  our  education  process  here 
on  earth. 

,    Presently  here  at  SMC.  we  hear  the  discus- 
sion of  the  possibility  of  compulsory  Sabbath 
attendance,  is  it  possible  Uiat  we  are  going 
">  be  so  short  sighted  that  we  won't  see  the 
""plications  of  a  move  in  this  direction?  If 
'"  *e  possibly  near  future  someone  comes 
'e  you  and  says  that  you  must  now  attend 
jcryiecs  on  the  Holy  Sabbath  (Sunday),  what 
^"1  you  say  when  he  says  in  answer  to  your

defense  but  had  refused  to  be  taught  the  use 
of  weapons  while  in  tlic  Military.  The  follow- 
ing is  a  quote  from  ti.G,  White  jicrtiiieiit  to 
the  situation  on  campus: 

"The  Great  Teacher  was  among  you.  Did 
you  honor  him?  Was  He  a  stranger  to  some 
of  the  educators?  Was  there  need  to  send  for 
someone  of  supposed  authority  to  welcome 
or  repel  this  message  from  heaven?  Though 
unseen.  His  presence  was  among  you.  But 
was  not  the  thought  expressed  that  in  school 
the  time  ought  to  be  given  to  study,  and  that 
there  was  a  time  for  everything,  as  if  the  hours 
devoted  to  common  study  were  too  precious 
to  be  given  up  for  the  working  of  Uic  heavenly 
messenger?"  8T  62. 

1  am  not  much  against  church  attendance 
except  that  1  feel  that  it  would  be  just  one 
more  in  a  long  string  of  rigid  rules  and  regula- 
tions   "There  is  danger  of  too  severely  criti- 
cizing small  things .  Criticism  that  is  loo  severe, 
rules  that  are  too  rigid,  lead  to  the  disregard 
of  all  regulations;  and  by  and  by  children  thus 
educated  will  show  the  same  disrespect  for 
the  laws  of  Christ."  AH  308-9. 

A  rule  of  this  sort  might  do  m( 
good  in  that  it  would  cause  many 


lie  iliacllim 
lile.  it  is  a  trcmeiidou 
has  freed  Ihcm  lo  choosi 
the  home,  2)  a  career  in 
combination  of  Ihe  two. 

1  contend  that  with  this  new  cultural  situa- 
tion a  wife  should  led  free  to  choose  from  a 
variety  of  life  styles.  She  has  the  right  to  form 
and  live  her  life  just  as  her  husband  has  the 
right  to  form  and  live  his  life. 

She  should  feel  free  to  choose  a  career. 
She  should  be  free  to  excel  to  the  top  in  her 
area  and  not  purposefully  try  to  remain  infer- 
ior to  her  husband  in  salary,  position,  and 
knowledgeability.  (This  of  course  will  have  to  be  handled  with 
great  care  if  a  husband  has  a  weak  ego  which  is  threatened. 
But  women  have  egos  too,  and  adults  shouldn't  have  to  play 
games.)   I  am  not  advocating  competition-only  full  develop- 
ment of  our  talents. 

A  wife  has  the  right  to  be  a  fullUme  housewife,  filling  her 
hours  with  clubs  and  volunteer  services  and  being  a  "super- 
mom"  (shouldering  90  per  cent  of  parental  duties.) 

She  also  has  the  right  to  prefer  the  dependent,  passive, 
adult-child  relationship  with  her  husband  versus  a  reciprocal  relationship.   This  type 
of  wife  probably  would  prefer  leaving  all  decisions  up  to  her  husband  and  merely 
take  orders  from  him. 

Does  Paul's  admonition  for  wives  to  be  subject  to  their  husbands  mean  that 
a  wife  is  her  husband's  slave?   I  am  afraid  this  is  exactly  what  happens  if  a  marriage 
is  not  founded  on  Christian  principles  of  mutual  love  and  respect.  But  Paul  continues 
by  admonishing  husbands  to  love  their  wives  as  Christ  loved  the  church. 

Before  God,  the  human  race  stands  on  equal  ground.   "There  is  neither  Jew 
nor  Greek,  there  is  neither  male  nor  female;  for  ye  are  all  one  in  Christ  Jesus."  Gal.  3: 
28. 

Christ  is  the  head  of  the  house.  Unselfishness  should  lead  each  spouse  to  pre- 
fer one  another  in  honor.  v 

For  example,  instead  of  a  wife's  having  to  demand  that  her  husband  do  certain 
duties,  the  husband  should  realize  that  he  is  in  a  partnership.  He  should  want  to  help 
her  grow  as  a  person ,  which  may  mean  equal  sharing  of  home  duties  if  both  he  and  she 
are  full-time  students  or  employed  full  time.  There  is  nothing  feminine  about  dusting 
furniture  or  washing  clothes. 

1  have  experienced  the  beauty  of  a  partnership  marriage.  It  is  emancipation  to 
pcrsonhood.  To  have  entered  into  any  other  type  of  relationship  would  have  negated 
part  ol  my  liecdom. 

For  a  husband,  the  adv;!iilagcs  arc  many:  I )  Being  married  to  one  who  needs  him 
solely  because  she  kivcs  liim  should  be  comlurling  and  good  for  the  ego;  2)  In  the  bus- 
iness world  Iwo  hc:ids  arc  considered  licllcr  lluiri  one.  This  is  true  also  in  marriage.  3) 
While  sliaring  home  ami  parciiljl  Uisks.  Iile  can  become  more  meaningful  because  he 
spends  iiioic  lime  binkliiig  bc;Hiiilul  and  lasting  relationships  with  those  God  designed 
lor  him  ID  love  mosl  ul  all.  4)  The  biggest  bonus  is  (lie  quality  of  the  husband's  mar- 
riaoc.  He  will  find  himscil  man  led  lu  a  woman  who  is  as  eager  to  love  and  console  as 
she  is  to  be  loved  and  consoled.  ...,,. 

To  sum  II  up  a  marriage  will  be  liappicsl  when  each  person  is  primardy  seeking 
the  other's  happiness.  When  both  husband  and  wile  are  liberated,  they  may  share  alike 
in  life  with  its  joys  and  sorrows,  its  comeplition  and  leisure.

BIG    DEAL! 


"Between  the  hours  of  nine  in  the 
evening  and  three  a.m..  I  would  venture 
to  say  that  tliere  is  a  game  going  on  some- 
where in  the  dormitory,  sometimes  as 
many  as  five,"  states  a  former  SMC  stu- 
dent. 

"Hardly  a  night  goes  by  that  someone 
doesn't  come  into  my  room  and  asks  if 
anyone  wants  to  play  a  game  of  poker," 
says  a  Talge  Hall  resident. 

Yet  a  junior  theology  major,  when 
questioned  about  card  playing  in  the  dorm 
said,  "Do  men  play  cards  in  the  dorm?" 

What  really  does  go  on? 

Rook  seems  to  be  the  going  thing  in 
the  women's  dorms,  reports  Mrs.  Faye 
Rees.  assistant  dean  of  women.  Once  in 
a  while  on  Saturday  iiights  or  vacations 
the  girls  get  into  a  game  of  gin  or  rummy. 
But  it  has  not  become  "a  pasttime  any- 
thing like  it  is  in  the  guy's  dorm,"  states 
one  informed  source. 

"Four  to  eight  guys  get  together  to 
play  cards  when  they  don't  have  too  much 
homework,"  says  one  sophomore  who 
frequents  the  poker  cncles.  "Guys  do  it 
for  recreation.  Instead  of  watching  a  soc- 
cer game,  some  people  get  into  a  game  of 
cards.  They  find  it  relaxing.  Then  again 
there's  the  association."  He  doesn't  feel 
that  one  of  the  reasons  for  playing  is  to 
increase  your  income.  (You  can  be  there 
an  hour  and  win  only  a  nickel  in  penny 
annie.)  "1  don't  know  of  any  dollar 
gambling,  only  matches  or  pennies,"  he 
adds. 

Those  into  card  playing  most  generally 
■agreed  that  about  50  per  cent  of  the  guys 
in  Talge  Hall  play  card  games,  other  than 
rook,  two  to  three  times  a  week  or  more. 
Estimates  ranged  as  low  as  20  per  cent 


and  as  higli  as  65  per  cent. 

A  few  years  ago  there  was  a  bridge 
playing  spree  in  Talge  but  now  hearts, 
gin,  rummy,  poker,  and  blackjack  seem  to 
be  the  stand-bys.  Of  lhese,rummy  and 
poker  are  the  favorites.  Even  poker  has 
its  variations.  One  student  had  a  little 
mechanical  device  on  which  he  played 
poker  by  just  pushing  buttons.  Little  ro- 
tating wheels  would  pick  cards  at  random. 
"Draw  poker  and  stud  poker  are  popular, 
but  I  don't  know  of  any  strip  poker  un- 
less its  in  the  women's  dorm,"  quipped 
one  card  shark.  "In  the  dormitory  the 
gambling  games  are  less  popular  than  the 
non-gambling  games,"says  Don  Davis,  a 
former  SMC  student  who  spent  several 
years  in  Talge  Hall.  "The  reason  is  that 
the  guys  don't  have  the  money  to  bet. 
Only  twenty-five  to  thirty  per  cent  of  the 
guys  who  play  gamble,  and  even  then  I 
don't  know  of  any  big  stakes  going  on  in 
the  dorm  right  now,"  he  explains. 

About  the  only  form  of  gambling 
which  has  received  widespread  popular- 
ity is  "penny  annie"  in  which  pennies 
are  bet  on  the  game    The  maximum  bet 
is  usually  three  cents,  hardly  enough  to 
put  yourself  through  school. 

Many  of  those  who  gamble  do  it  be- 
cause it  is  against  the  rules  but  relatively 
safe.  It  is  a  way  of  letting  off  steam  when 
you  can't  seem  to  cut  the  deck  in  a  con- 
ventional manner.  One  student  said  it 
was  better  to  break  one  of  the  small  rules 
than  the  big  ones.  Another  old  hand  at 
cards  sees  it  as  a  "diversionary  tactic."  He 
believes  it  is  "a  form  of  recreation  when 
the  ©'m  is  closed,  when  the  girl's  dorm 
is  closed,  and  when  you  can't  afford  a  TV.' 

In  contrast,  a  junior  spending  his  third

I  year  in  the  dorm  thinks  that  men  caught 
gambling  "should  be  reprimanded    They 
should  get  a  $25  fine  if  the  cards  are  illeg- 
al." He  sees  nothing  wrong  with  "Rooks 
or  Birds  of  the  World"  and  adds,  some- 
what jokingly,  "before  we  use  any  cards 
we  ought  to  be  sure  they  are  approved  by 
the  General  Conference  or  the  Review  and 
Herald." 

This  points  out  the  inconsistency  with 
which  the  deans  and  the  resident  assistants 
must  deal. 

One  resident  assistant  spoke  of  the 
"double  standard"  which  the  church  has 
between  Rook  and  other  playing  cards. 
What  would  he  do  if  he  walked  in  on  a 
card  game  in  process?  "I  would  say  that 
technically  I'm  supposed  to  confiscate  the 
cards,  but  I  think  I  would  have  to  take 
them,  maybe.  There's  been  a  little  doubt 
on  that."  Lyle  Botimer,  dean  of  men, 
stated  that  if  he  were  confronted  with  the 
same  situation  his  "first  concern  would 
be  to  talk  to  the  people  who  live  in  the 
room  and  are  responsible  for  the  activities.' 
He  would  "also  talk  with  all  those  involved 
sooner  or  later....At  times  like  that  you 

"Tremendous"  Jones 


kind  of  play  it  by  ear.  I  would  try  to  get 
the  cards  out  of  the  dorm  and  pray  that 
the  Lord  will  give  me  the  right  words  to 
say." 

To  Botimer,  card  playing  isn't  much  oi 
a  problem  this  year.  "Based  on  my  exper- 
ience in  the  dorm  it  has  been  a  very  norrai 
year  as  far  as  card  playing  is  concerned.  I 
haven't  the  foggiest  idea  what  percentage 
of  the  guys  in  the  dorm  play  cards." 

"I  know  of  only  a  couple  guys  on  my 
hall  that  play  regularly  but  I  don't  know 
anything  definite,"  says  one  resident 
assistant. 

Adds  another,  "I  really  wouldn't  know 
how  widespread  card  playing  is  on  my  hal 
not  at  all." 

Why  is  this?  A  pro  deals  with  the 
swer:  "When  an  RA  walks  in  on  a  card 
game,  and  it  has  happened  before,  people 
tend  to  grab  a  blanket  or  some  other  lar[ 
article  and  just  dump  it  over  the  cards.  II 
there  are  any  pennies  there  they  just  lay 
over  the  pennies  and  greet  the  RA  withaj 
big  'hello'  to  signify  that  they're  there  ai 
that  they  have  their  head  together."

Many  felt  that  the  survey  was  invalid  be- 
cause less  than  half  of  the  student  body 
responded  to  the  survey,  and  these  stu- 
dents probably  were  indicative  of  a  cer- 
tain class  of  students  who  only  would  re- 
spond to  such  questionnaires.  A  cross 
section  was  probably  not  achieved. 

Other  voices  of  opposition  expressed 
that  "Mrs.  White  gave  council  that  parents 
should  see  to  it  that  their-children  go  to 
church.  This  was  met  with  a  response  by 
Debbie  Lintner,  student  representative, 
that  college  students  seemed  to  be  recogn 
ized  as  adults,  and  that  they  should  be 
given  the  responsibilities  of  adulthood. 
She  also  pointed  out  that  you  can  take  a

Joe  Rudd,  Don  Bogar,  and  Everett 
Wilhelmsen  were  voted  in  by  the  student 
body  to  fill  the  positions  of  Southern 
Memories  editor,  Joker  editor,  and  South 
ern  Accent  ediioi  respectively  for  the  1974- 
1975  school  year.  The  narrowest  margin 
in  these  races  was  for  the  Memories  editor 
position  taken  by  Joe  Rudd  who  won  by 
15  votes.  The  SoufAa-n  ylccenr  went  to 
these  three  winners  and  interviewed  them 
to  learn  of  their  plans  and  innovations  for 
their  duties. 

Joe  Rudd  is  proposing  to  the  student 
senate  a  radical  change  in  the  format  for 
next  year's  annual.  His  plans,  if  passed  by 
the  senate,  will  split  the  annual  into  three 
sections.  The  first  which  would  come  out 
two  weeks  after  school  begins  would  re- 
place the  Joker  and  would  serve  the  same 
purpose  as  it  does  now.  The  second  sec- 
tion would  come  out  at  the  beginning  of 
second  semester,  and  would  include  senior 
portraits  and  events  that  occured  up  to 
Christmas.  And  finally  there  would  be  a 
third  section  that  would  come  out  at  the 
end  of  school,  containing  the  events  of 
second  semester.  All  of  these  sections 
would  be  covered  individually  with  a  soft 
binder,  then  they  would  be  encased  into 
a  hard  binder  and  held  in  place  by  hidden 
bolts. 

Upon  questioning  of  Joe  concerning 
his  ideas  for  the  annual  he  responded  by 
saying,  "I  do  not  want  it  to  be  just  anoth- 
er picture  book,  and  1  think  it  should  rep- 
resent the  kind  of  quaUty  which  could  be 
used  in  public  relations  for  SMC."  He 
added  that  he  would  be  willing  to  take  a 
cut  in  salary  since  the  senior  pictures 
would  not  have  to  be  reprinted!  This  de- 
letion of  reprinting  costs  will  mean  a 
savings  of  over  $  1 000. 

Don  Bogai,  Joker  editor,  was  asked  if 
he  could  integrate  these  proposals  into  his 
plans.  He  expressed  favorable  feelings  and 
said  that  he  could  conceivably  see  this 


from  the  beginning  of  school. 

With  regard  to  the  publication  of  the 
Southern  Accent,  Everett  Wilhelmsen  ex- 
pressed a  goal  of  more  humor  involved 
and  the  continuation  of  the  Viewpoint' 
and  Dear  Gabby  sections  that  were  intro- 
duced this  year.  He  went  on  to  say.  "Its 
my  aim  to  provide  a  lively  newspaper  with 
meaningful  information,  and  some  humor, 
hoping  thereby  to  be  of  benefit  to  the 
students'  needs.  I  do  not  want  to  come 
out  with  a  paper  just  because  it's  expected 
to  come  out."     -Dougaarke 

Annual      continued  from  Page  J 
That  very  Thursday  was  the  day  that 
the  press  was  scheduled  to  start  produc- 
tion on  the  Memories.  They  told  Elder 
Davis  that  their  advisors  had  gone 
over  the  SM  and  that  they  believed 
that  there  wasn't  any  material  in  the 
annual  that  would  be  objectionable. 
The  major  problem  with  giving  a 
set  of  proofs  is  that  is  would  throw 
the  SM  production  at  least  ten  days  to 
two  weeks  behind,  therefore,  making 
delivery  impossible  before  the  end  of 
this  year.  According  to  those  at  the 
press.  Elder  Davis,  after  .consulting 
mth  Mr.  Merchant,  told  them  he 
would  like  to  see  a  set  of  proofs  as 
soon  as  possible.  The  press  said  that 
they  would  have  them  by  the  next 
Wednesday.  Since  that  fime,  accord- 
ing to  those  at  the  press  in  Nashville, 
I  Elder  Davis  has  traveled  to  the 
press  twice  for  consultation  and  to 
look  at  proofs.  They  stated  that 
the  changes  that  have  been  made 
have  only  been  minor  ones. 

Thomas  Young,  yearbook  represent- 
ative for  Joeston  American  said,  he 
thought  that  this  was  going  to  be  one  of 
the  top  three  annuals  that  he  bad  dealt 
with  this  year.  "It's  just  a  real  shame  that 
will  be  coming  out  late."

itachod  in  it  expressing  the  desire  for  Dr. 
r.  C.  Swmyar's  quick  recovery.  Mrs.  Swin- 
;ir  gave  words  i)f  gratitude  as  she  rearrang- 
ed a  few  of  the  blooms.  Hundreds  of  "get 
veil  soon"  cards  from  friends,  neighbors, 
family  members,  acquaintances  and  patients 
were  filed  neatly  in  boxes  on  a  small  table 
1  the  den. 

Without  any  further  ado,  Mrs.  Swinyar 
lid  "Dr.  Swinyar  is  soaking  in  the  tub 
which  precedes  his  daily  physical  therapy 
treatment  by  Don  Humberger,  an  able-bod 
ied  220  lb.  RP.T,  but  he  said  it's  all  right 
with  him,  if  it's  all  right  with  you,  if  you 
want  to  conduct  your  interview  in  there." 
The  acceptance  was  made  and  upon  enter- 
ing the  bathroom  Dr.  Swinyar  peered  out 
from  behind  the  glass  doors  with  a  boyish 
grin  on  his  face  and  said,  "Sorry,  about 
the  cramped  quarters." 

Dr.  T.C.  Swinyar,  now  entering  his 
14th  year  as  a  physician  in  Collegedale, 
began  to  notice  that  he  was  losing  a  signi- 
ficant amount  of  weight.  He  attributed 
this  to  the  heavy  patient  load  he  was  tak- 
ing on-quite  normal  for  the  months  of 
January  and  February.  The  acute  weight 
reduction  worsened,  so,  he  entered  Mem- 
orial Hospital  on  March  16.  X-rays  veri- 
fied the  problem  as  a  mass  in  the  colon 
which  proved  to  be  malignant  with  sub- 
sequent damage  to  the  liver~a  formidable 


Surgery  ensued  on  March  1  8th  to  re- 
move the  colon  mass.  Following  surgery. 
Elder  Gary  Patterson,  pastor  of  the  Col- 
legedale S.  D.  A.  church.  Elder  Roy  B. 
Thurmon,  former  pastor  and  long  time 
friend,  and  others  performed  an  annoint- 
ing  service  for  Dr.  Swinyar.  This  service 
involves  placing  a  small  bit  of  oil  on  the 
forehead  to  signify  that  one's  life  is  now 
in  God's  hand. 

During  the  anointing  service,  children 
at  the  Spalding  elementary  school,  stu- 
dents from  Collegedale  Academy  and 
SMC,  along  with  friends  from  Washington. 
D.C.  and  Loma  Linda  were  praying  sim- 
ultaneously, asking  God's  mercy.

AEC  grants  Dr.  Heff eriii 
research  position 


Dr.  Ray  Hefferlin,  chairman  of  SMC's 
Physics  Department,  has  been  granted  a 
"faculty  Research  Participation"  position 
for  this  summer  from  the  United  States 
Atomic  Energy  Commission  (AEC).  "SMC 
has  granted  me  a  summer  service  leave  for 
this  summer,"he  said. 

His  work  with  the  AEC,  covering  ap- 
proximately two  months  from  mid  June 
to  mid  August,  will  be  his  principal  activ- 
ity aside  from  preparing  classes  for  the 
1974-1975  academic  year. 

Dr.  Hefferlin's  position  is  in  the  ther- 
monuclear division  at  Oak  Ridge,  Tenn- 
essee. Also  known  as  the  Sherwood  pro- 
ject, the  division  is  doing  research  into 
developing  the  practical  fusion  of  hydro- 
gen to  create  power  to  help  solve  the  en- 
ergy crisis. 

"With  the  steady  disappearance  of  the 
fossil  fuels,  (petroleum  and  its  derivatives), 
new  sources  of  power  need  to  be  developed,"

Dr.  HetterUn  said.  That  is  what  the  j 
is  attempting. 

He  pointed  out  that  "given  the  pr3

Sweet  cherries  8c  Sour  gropes 

On  the  outset  of  the  S.nillieni  Accciil  turnover  season  rang- 
hig  from  September  until  December,  Ric  Carey  and  1  emerged  to 
grab  the  "uiding  reigns  of  this  SA  publication.    This  entailed  or- 
ganizing the  duties  of  18  staff  members,  not  includmg  the  re- 
porters, spending  20  and  sometimes  30  hours  a  week  at  the 
Quality  Shopper  building  hi  Ooltewah,  typing  out  every  word 
seen  in  the  Accent  on  special  composition  machines,  plus  laying 
out  and  pasting  up  in  order  to  prepare  camera-ready  copy;  spend- 
ing 10  to  15  hours  a  week  hashing  out  what  stones  should  be 
written,  plus  explaining  the  storicu  to  reporters;  writing  some 
stories  ourselves:  deciding  what  editorial  comments  should  be 
made;  writing  editorials,  taking  photographs  then  printing  them; 
and  finally  explaining  to  the  printer  how  the  paper  should  be 
printed. 

The  Ancnr  operates  on  a  budget  of  just  over  SI  1,000  including 
the  editors  salaries  and  advertising  revenue.    It's  equivalent  to 
a  small  business  and  it  has  to  be  treated  as  such  in  order  for  it 

'°  There"<l?e^many  unsung  heroes   on  the  Soulhcm  Accent  staff 
who  by  their  diligence  and  dedication  patiently  pieced  together 
this  weekly  publication.    News  editor,  Barbara  Palmer  spent  10 
to  IS  hours  a  week  in  the  office  identifying  news  leads,  assigmng 
news  stories  plus  writing  2-4  stories  a  week.    Associate  editor, 
Doug  Qarke  originally  thought  of  implementing  "Viewpoint 
within  our  publication  and  he  has  faithfully  kept  up  this  column 
while  also  writing  a  story  or  two  a  week. 

Other  unsung  heroes  include  Ed  Jackson,  Business  Manager, 
who  has  tripled  advertising  revenue  over  last  year's  publication; 
Ben  Stone,  Circulation  Nianager,  a  steady,  hard  worker;  Greg 
Rumsey,  Copy  editor,  a  fast  and  articulate  editor;   Ken  Bumham. 
Sports  Jock,  a  personable  writer;  and  all  layout  people  who   spend 
a  combined  total  of  over  SO  hours  a  week  typing  and  laying  out 
the  paper. 

Last,  but  not  least,  Danny  Serns,  Frank  Potts,  Jack  Waagen, 
and  Roland  Marsh  have  proved  to  be  very  competent  reporters. 
This  semester,  the  Accent  has  never  failed  to  come  out  every 
week,  except  for  vacation  and  test  periods.  One 
major  reason  the  Quality  Shopper  was  chosen  to  print  the  Ac- 
cent was  due  to  the  fact  that  a  Wednesday  delivery  would  be 
possible,  as  opposed  to  a  Thursday  evening  or  Friday  morning 
delivery  as  would  have  been  the  case  if  it  were  printed  in  Summer- 
ville.  Gecr^'a,  like  last  year's  student  newspaper. 

The  Accent  was  highly  instrumental  in  changing  the  SA  con- 
stitution to  it's  present  form.   The  Accent  introduced  "View- 
point" this  semester,  a  column  in  which  two  people  present  dif- 
ferent sides  of  a  certain  issue.    The  Accent  got  the  story  out  on 
the  SA  run-off  results  the  very  day  it  happened..   The  Accent 
devoted  a  full  page  to  sports  news  alone,  an  asset  to  a  college  ex- 
tremely interested  in  intramuralSuThe  Accent  has  sparked  within 
our  readers  a. desire  to  speak-out;  dozens  of  letters  to  the  editors 
have  been  printed  this  semester. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  semester,  Ric  and  1  stated  in  our  fit^t

In  reference  to  our  behind  the  scene  critics  who  claim  to  be

cheap.    Did  you  ever  speak  to  Ric  and  1  to  offer  helpful  sug- 
gestions''   Did  you  ever  compliment  the  paper  at  all?    No.   You 
chose  to  use  dictatorial  denunciations  and  smnky  derogatory 
remarks  to  other  administrators,  faculty  members,  and  students 
concerning  our  so-called  lack  of  journalistic  style  and  editorial 
judgment.   You  "Should  have  told  Ric  and  1  your  opinions  and 
offered  us  alternatives.    You  should  have  worked  with  the  Ac- 
cent, not  against  it. 

\  personally  am  pleased  with  the  outcome  of  second  sem-

our  publication  in  the  areas  of  organization,  creativity,  coopera-

My  senses  reel  between  the  sweet  of  accomplishment 
jio.    I'm  leaving  this  cushiony  atmosphere  for  a  metallic 
ompleie  will)  its  concrete  fortresses  and  glittering  tinsel, 
cr  a  lonely  arena  clogged  with  traffic  arteries,  lechnology,  and 
irld  where  a  simple  grceling  is  socially  discouraged  and  if  omitted 
,^  ,.  arded  with  strains  of  suspicion;  a  world  where  mechanics  are  primarily 
invoWcd  in  human  relationships  rather  than  sensitivity  and  understanding;  a 
world  where  I'll  be  regarded  as  a  digital  code  rather  than  a  rationally  thinking 
human  being.    The  rapier  sharpness  of  reality  slices  the  previous  year  here  into 
bits  and  pieces  of  remembrances. 

Bui  it's  these  remembrances  that  give  me  the  courage  and  fortitude  to  with- 
stand  woiidly  threats.    Memory  saves  the  soft  embraces,  singing  groups,  a  well- 
coined  phrase,  a  icspeclable  professor,  a  deep  religious  conviction,  a  job  well- 
done,  a  well  earned  grade,  a  funny  joke,  a  beautifully  sung  song,  a  roommate's 
propensities  and  strengths-all  these  weave  an  eternal  character  pattern  into  my 
mind.    This  miscellaneous  hodge-podge  of  cherished  recollections  instill  in  me 
a  desire  lo  change  the  cold,  hard  visage  of  a  human  robot  into  a  warm,  soft 
smile. 

So  it's  gcod-bye  again.  I'm  leaving  restrictions  to  find  freedom.    No.    I'm 
leaving  security  to  fall  into  insecurity.    No.    I'm  leaving  make-believe  to  find 
reality.    No.    I'm  leaving  peace  to  find  mayhem.    1  just  don't  know,  it's  all  so 
confusing.    1  probe  for  answers,  but  then  1  realize  that  I'm  not  leaving  any- 
thing.   For  everything  that  I  experience  and  everyone  1  come  in  contact 
with  becomes  a  part  of  me.    All  this  binds  my  reference  book  and  1  will  have 
wisdom  in  coping  with  new  situations. 

In  the  lives  of  each  one  of  us,  in  the  brief  light  of  human  existence,  be- 
tween the  darkness  of  birth  and  coldness  of  death,  1  stand  as  one  small,  in- 
significant boll  in  an  immeasurcable  machine.    I  am  capable  of  great  and 
mighty  works;  I  am  capable  of  ghastly  and  terrible  works;  and  1  am  capable 
of  doing  essentially  nothing.    Dear  God,  show  me  the  way.

A  Tribute 


A  little  over  two  weeks  ago  an  older  gentlema"^,  in  his  early  80's, 
dropped  in  on  our  campus  for  a  few  days'  visit.    Unlike  most  visitors  to 
SMC,  Harland  Johnston  came  to  give  rather  than  to  take.   Johnston  not 
only  gave  us  a  sum  of  money,  but  he  gave  something  far  more  precious-he 
gave  of  himself. 

Mr.  Johnston  gave  us  inspiration  at  a  time  when  it  was  badly  needed;  the 
proverbial  "Shot  in  the  arm."    He  gave  encouragement  to  the  Accent  staff 
that  by  far  excelled  any  hinted  at  on  this  campus.    His  infiuence  stimulated 
creativity  among  us  that  transformed  these  last  two  issues  for  four  page  ex- 
cuses into  much  more. 

Mr  Johnston  demonstrated  to  us  what  it  is  to  be  a  living  Christian  wit- 
ness by  his  quiet  thoughtful  manner  and  keen  sense  of  humor.    Mr.  Johnston, 
much  thanks  for  giving  us  more  than  you  could  ever  imagine.

Flickled 


The  Accent  is  dealing  with  this  issue  because  it  is  an  integral  part  of 
many  students  lives  who  attend  SMC.    To  our  critics  this  will  be  another 
"one  of  those"  articles  designed  to  dig  a  little  dirt  to  show  to  the  pub- 
lic.   But  we  feel  a  responsibility  to  report  and  to  speak  out  on  an 
issue  such  as  this  when  it  plays  such  a  large  role  in  campus  life,  is 
condemned  by  many,  and  is  even  against  the  college  rules. 

The  glittering  generality  so  often  abscribed  to  theatre  attendance 
like  "If  we  love  the  Lord  this  won't  be  a  problem"  and  "Why  concern 
ourselves  with  it?    It's  wrong  and  that's  all  there  is  to  it!"  are  indicative 
of  an  ignorant  and  unconcerned  attitude-a  pitiful  syndrome. 

It's  not  difficult  to  understand  why  there  is  a  ruling  against  theatre 
attendance  when  movies,  such  as  the  "Exorcist"  and  "How  to  seduce 
a  woman,"  are  readily  available.    If  students  subscribed  to  these  sort  of 
movies,  ii  would  seem  that  the  spiritual  life  on  this  campus  would  de- 
generate, especially  when  the  subject  matter  absorbed  is  dealing  with 
the  devil  and  sex  in  the  context  of  sin.    However,  it  is  difficult  to 
understand  why  a  blanket  ruling  or  policy  is  set  down  concerning 
ALL  movies.   Young  people  are  just  not  accepting  the  inadequate 
reasoning  behind  this  ruling. 

The  plain  fact  of  the  matter  is  that  many  SDA  young  people  are 
attending  the  movies.    It  seems  that  instead  of  clinging  to  archaic 
reasoning-like  the  poor  atmosphere-guidelines  should  be  given  just  as 
they  are  in  such  instances  as  television,  books,  and  life  in  gelieral. 

It  is  not  my  intention  to  define  what  is  right  and  what  is  not,  but 
rather  to  recognize  the  facts  and  suggest  a  logical,  reasonable  alternative 
to  the  "sneaking"  that  obviously  occurs,  even  among  SDA  youth,  even 
among  those  who  love  the  Lord.

April  25.  1974  The  Southern  A...n,  5 


rr^enouffordafes? 


Ed  Bowles 


First  of  all,  1  have  written  this  with 
malice  to  no  one,  and  I  humbly  apolo- 
gize have  1  ever  hurt  anyone. 

Concerning  courtships  today,  no  one 
listens  to  another,  for  each  must  be  con- 
vinced in  his  own  mind  of  just  what  is 
right  for  him.    Well  might  you  say,  and 
rightly  so,   "What  does  Hotdog  know 
about  courtship?"    Very  little,  but  enough 
10  know  about  the  Shaft  Club.    In  fact, 
I'm  running  for  Shaft  Club  President. 

However,  the  matters  at  hand  are  girls 
and  their  attitudes  toward  asking  a  man 
out  for  an  evening,  a  luscious  evening. 
Just  how  these  attitudes  have  progressed 
is  the  study  of  a  lifetime.  And  the  only 
thing  1  can  draw  on  for  my  attitudes  on 
this  subject  is  my  own  experience  (Whew! 
That  was  tough!). 

My  experience  is  that  of  sitting  in  my 
room,  minding  my  own  business  (maybe!) 
when  John  M.  comes  in.    The  phone  rings 
as  if  he  is  bringing  it  with  him.    ,  At  this 
I  am  once  again  transported  to  a  social 
world  where  all  is  not  well. 

I  answer  the  phone,  and  a  sweet,  lus- 
cious-sounding young  lady's  voice  comes 
over  the  phone,  and  says,  "Hi  there!  My 
name  is  Puddin',  and  you  don't  know  me, 
but  I  know  you.  Since  we're  having  the 
"tirls'  Reception,  I  need  to  ask  a  guy  out 
)  go  with  me.  .  .and  since  1  chose  you 
you  lucky  dog,  you!)  would  you  care  to 
«my  escort  Sunday  night,  (July  4,  1776)' 


Con 


After  about  three  to  five  minutes  of 
nausea,  I  meekly  ask  my  roommate  to  gelk 
me  the  Joker  (and  there  are  plenty  of 
them!).   But  what  good  does  a  Joker  do 
if  a  girl  won't  tell  you  her  name,  until 
you  accept?   So  the  only  logical,  manly 
thing  to  do  is  say,  "Uh.  .  .no."   Flatly, 
decisively,  and  finally. 

Now,  people  being  what  they  are,  they 
get  their  feelings  so  easily  (especially  me!) 
hurt  when  they're  turned  down.    And  I 
must  attribute  this  to  a  person's  being 
unwilhng  to  accept  the  unwanted. 

The  way  1  was  raised  has  little  to  do 
with  you,  but  then  a  lot.   1  was  taught 
that  the  man  was  the  one  who  saw  a 
flower  and  decided  to  capture  it  for  him- 
self.  1  shy  off  from  a  strange  girl  calling 
me  up  and  asking  me  for  a  date.   And 
why?   1  don't  know,  except  for  the  fact 
that  society,  being  people  like  you,  have 
framed  me  into  a  narrow  person.    And 
when  one  seeks  to  get  relocated  from 
this  narrow  view,   this  narrow  frame  that 

so  bind  a  person  and  the  way  he 
lives,  that  when  they  once  try  to  move 
out,  they  are  simply  the  outcasts  of 
society. 

The  primary  reason  for  writing  this 
paper  was  to  give  my  view  on  why  a  girl 
should  not  ask  a  man  out.   And  after 
thinking  this  over,  1  can  easily  understand: 
the  opposite  side  of  this  issue-,  but  girls 
hold  on,  I'll  let  you  know  I'm  around. 


Pro 


Most  of  us  here  at  SMC  have  been 
Tought  up  in  a  culture  in  which  it  was 
customary  for  girls  to  be  asked  out  lor 
dates.   Closer  to  the  truth,  it  was  custom 
ary  for  girls  to  wait  until  the  young  men, 
either  out  of  physical  and  psychical  de- 
velopment (which  was  usually  relatively 
retarded),  or  more  likely,  just  simple  em- 
barassment,  would  ultimately  ask  her  out 

This  involved  frustration  on  the  part 
of  all  parties  and  encouraged  a  great  deal 
of  'game'  playing.  .  .(don't  let  hi 


know  you  like  them;  don't  talk  too  much  ber  2, 


don't  let  him  kiss  you  on  the  first  date 
etc.).  This  is  a  very  traditional  part  of 
growing  up,  1  take  it,  and  a  stage  most 
have  passed  through. 

I  have  nothing  against  inherent  tradi- 
tion.  Neither  have  I  anything  against 
standards.   However,  1  do  try  to  look  at 
issues  with  some  amount  of  attention 
before  accepting  or  rejecting  them  as  I 
am  sure  we  all  do.   In  this  short  essay, 
1  would  like  to  share  some  of  the  criteria 
I  have  discovered  for  myself  in  eval 
ting  alternatives  when  dealing  with  other 
people. 

The  first  test  I  put  it  to  is:    Does  it 
encourage  honesty?   This  involves  a  com 
plete  acceptance  of  ourselves  and  others. 
'I'm  OK,  You're  OK,  They're  OK'.   1 
think  (his  is  a  basic  step  in  establishing 
ourself  or  relations  with  others.   It  in- 
volves accepting  others  just  as  they  are 


John  "Moose"  Baucom 

and  not  as  how  you  can  change  them. 
It  also  involves  accepting  the  fact  that 
you  feel  'no  OK'  (if  that  is  true)  and 
working  through  it. 

Everyone  is  OK,  you  know,  and  the 
only  thing  that  is  standing  in  our  way 
of  feeling  so  is  certain  traditions  and 
folkways-maybe  like  dating  customs. 
(But  we  haven't  established  that  yet.) 
After  you  accept  the  concept  that  you 
are  OK  and  have  accepted  yourself,  then 
you  progress  to  the  next  step,  test  num-

When  Elder  Davis  called  Bill  Jacobs,  assis-

Company,  and  asked  if  the  annual  would  be 
out  by  graduation,  Mr.  Jacobs  pulled  out  the 
file.    After  studying  it  a  few  minutes,  he  said 
that  with  hard  work  and  many  hours  overtime 
the  annual  could  be  out  no  earlier  than  May 
11,  one  week  after  graduation.    Mr.  Merchant 
and  Elder  Davis  decided  that  since  the  annual 
would  have  to  be  mailed  out  anyway,  and 
since  the  publisher  had  called  and  reported 
some  questionable  items,  the  few  days  delay 
wouldn't  make  that  much  difference  at  that 
point. 

Elder  Davis  and  Mr.  Merchant  have  made 
only  the  initial  visit  to  the  press,  not  two  sub- 
sequent visits  as  is  stated  in  the  Accent.

leffers  to  the  editor 


Dear  Editors: 

I  was  slightly  amazed,  and  temporarily  con- 
fused, by  the  article  which  appeared  in  the 
April  17,  1974  issue  of  the  Southern  Accent. 
[The  article,  entitled  "Annual  Delivery  Delayed 
'until  June  8th,"  was  one  of  the  most  lop-sided 
pieces  of  reporting  yet  to  appear  in  the  South- 
em  Accent.    It  attempted  to  make  Student 
Association  sponsor,  K.  R.  DaviSjIook  like  a 
totally  uncooperative,  dictatorial,  arbiter  of 
Student  fortunes. 

have  had  personal  dealings  with  Elder 
Davis  for-four  years  and  SA  dealings  with  him 
r  one  year.    I  have  been  personally  acquainted 
th  SA  officers  who  have  worked  with  Elder 
Davis  during  the  four  years  of  my  stay  at 
SMC  and  I  have  yet  to  hear  one  of  them  state 
that  Elder  Davis  has  been  other  than  generally 
helpful,  cooperative, 


Does  the  tradition  or  concept  encour 
age  open  communication?   To  me,  this 
involves  the  dropping  of  facades,  the 
dropping  of  all  armour,  and  communica- 
ting feeling.    It  involves  letting  yourself 
feel  with  another,  and  letting  others 
feel  and  know  you. 

volves  'Letting  go  on  in  the  gut, 
n  the  mind  and  in  the  communi- 
cation with  others."   Communicating  how 
you  think  instead  of  how  you  think  yc 
are  supposed  to  think!    A  pre-requisite 
for  this  type  of  communication  is  honest) 
a  requirement  met  in  step  number  1. 
Test  number  three  is:    Does  the  tra 
dition  encourage  or  discourage  unproduc- 
tive games?    Games  like  'something  just 
came  up  and  I'm  going  to  have  to  break 
our  date;'  'third  party-find  out  how  she 
really  feels  about  me'  (or  I'm  too  insecur. 
to  ask);  or  'let's  solve  the  problem  by 
ignoring  it.'    As  is  obvious,  the  games  I 
have  mentioned  depend  on  the  present 
system  of  dating  for  their  existence. 
And  I  feel  the  present  system  is  un- 
healthy. 

The  reasons  I  think  the  problem  is 
unhealthy  all  reflect  my  belief  in  the 
three  tests  I  have  mentioned.    Our  pre- 
sent system  fails  all  three.    Should  girls 
ask  guys  out?   Well,  not  if  they  want 
I  somebody  to  play  games  with.    But  if 
I  it  is  an  honest  (honorable)  invitation,  I 
say,  why  not?

;  far  from  complimentary 
the  parties  involved;  in  fact  it  made  them 
look  rather  irresponsible.    I'm  sure  that  the  san 
was  true  when  Elder  Davis  either  refused  to  say 
anything  or  else  requested  certain  things  not  to 
be  printed.    He  did  it  for  the  sake  of  the  ir- 
■esponsible  partisen,not  because  he  was  trying 
o  hide  anything,    If  the  same  courtesy  were 
shown  him  that  he  has  shown  those  parties,  I 
wouldn't  be  writing  this  letter.

_..  the  SA.    In  the  light  of  these  observations, 
I  find  the  Accent  article  to  be,  at  best,  one  of 
the  worst  cases  of  misrepresentation-by-print 
that  I  have  read  in  any  recent  newspaper. 
(Save  Editorials,  which  are  the  editors'  own 
ideas  anyway.) 

There  was  a  limited  amount  of  truth  m 
the  article-the  first  two  deadlines  were  met 
days  early-but  only  about  1/3  of  the 
number  of  pages  were  sent.    The 
deadlines  were  similarly  done  ■ 


necessitated  delays  at  the  press   because  of  the 
necessity  to  put  this  material  in  order.    Eldei 
Davis  and  myself  were  talking  on  this  maner 
the  other  day,  and  he  stated  that,  in  a  con- 
versation with  the  Productions  Manager  at  th 
publishing  company,  the  latter  had  told  him 
3t  even  without  the  request  for  proofs  mer 
med  in  the  Accent  article,  it  would  have 
been  impossible  to  have  the  Memories    (annual) 
lut  before  5  days  to  one  week  after  graduatio 
don't  remember  the  specific  figures  on  most 
f  the  above  items,  but  I  do  remember  the  gei 
ral  outlines  as  they  are  given  above. 
With  all  due  respects  to  those  members  of 
the  Accent  staff  who  worked  on  this  article, 
I  would  suggest  a  minimal  amount  of  objec- 
tivity and  a  limited  amount  of  more  careful 
research  in  the  future.

VIEWPOINT

Should 

mixed  swimming 

be  allowed? 

Steve  Torgerson 

Obviously,  I've  been  picked  for  the  un- 
popular side  of  this  question,  but  the  last 
days  afford  no  time  for  popularity  con- 
tests, so  here  goes.

Should 

mixed  swimming 

be  allowed  ? 


Wayne  Brandt 
On  being  approached  to  write  a  view 
on  co-ed  swimming  at  SMC,  my  primary 
reaction  was  one  of  surprise.    1  suppose 


onsensus  would  undoubtedly  indicai.^ 
the  majority  of  the  girls  on  this  campus 
would  be  embarrassed  to  be  seen,  by  us 
men,  in  their  underwear.    Righteously  so, 
me  thinks.    Experience  has  shown,  how- 
ever, many  of  these  same  girls  would  shov 
no  hesitation  at  publicly  prancing  around 
in  something  no  more  substantial  if  a  bod) 
of  water  was  present.  To  an  objective  ob- 
server this  dichotomy  of  action  would 
seem  queer. 

I  would  be  expounding  no  new  truths  I 
to  my  audience  by  mentioning  the  stand 
ards  of  modesty  and  the  need  of  dress 
that  doesn't  attract  attention  to  self. 
Paul  and  Mrs.  While  go  on  to  great  len- 
gths about  this.    Apparently  applying 
these  concepts  to  activities  at  the  beach 
may  be  new  to  some. 

It  would  take  a  great  stretch  of  the 
imagination,  not  to  mention  the  apparel, 
for  swimming  trunks,  suits,  and  bikinis. 


to  fit  mto  either  of  these  two  catagorics. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  with  some  swimmtng 
trunks  and  bikinis,  it  is  difficult  to  see 
anything  but  self. 

In  Testimonies.  Vol.  5,  p.  472,  Mrs. 
White,  writing  about  Christians  being 
aroused  to  a  greater  zeal  and  earnestness 
in  overcoming  will,  says,  "Every  de- 
feet  in  character,  every  point  in  which 
they  fail  to  meet  the  divine  standard  is 
an  open  door  by  which  Satan  can  enter 
to  tempt  and  destroy  them;  and,  further- 
more, that  every  failure  and  defect  on 
their  part  gives  occasion  to  the  tempter 
and  his  agents  to  reproach  Christ." 

Life  in  tills  sense  can  be  compared  in 
many  ways  to  a  football  game.   Satan  is 
on  the  offense  with  inconceivable  amounts 
of  logic  and  craftiness.   He  is  trying  every 
possible  angle  from  which  to  tear  us  apart 
from  the  love  we  have  for  Christ.    He 
knows  he  will  never  be  able  to  tear  us  a-  ■ 


naked  body  hasn't  frequented 
the  watery  repose  in  the  gym  often 

ugh  to  find  out  whether  guys  and 
girls  can  swim  together  or  not.    I  did 
know,  however,  that  both  sexes  can  par- 
ticipate in  practicing  class  laps,  because 
whenever  1  did  manage  to  get  my  couragi 
high  enough  to  relinquish  my  soaked  po- 
sition under  my  umbrella  for  an  equally 
soaked  position  in  the  swimming  pool, 
my  unspectacled  eye  discerned  some 
fuzzy  shapes  that  are  rarely  seen  in  the 
Talge  showers. 

So  to  clarify  the  administration's 
stand  on  the  matter,  it  appears  that  we 
can  swim  together  if  the  red-and-white 
lane  separators  are  in  place,  no  doubt 
providing  ample  protection  for  any 
buxom  maidens,  and  if  we  are  participa- 
ting in  a  serious  effort  to  improve  our 
swimming  techniques. 


On  the  other  hand,  we  may  not  swim  i 
together  if  the  lane  separators  are  not  in 
place,  thereby  removing  the  effective 
protection  formerly  afforded,  or  if  we 
are  swimming  about  in  the  haphazard 
fashion  unique  to  goldfish  and  SMC 
students  at  leisure. 

This  brings  me  to  the  crux  of  the 
entire  field  of  dispute.    "What  is  the 
administration's  basis  for  determining 
whether  both  sexes  may  swim  together?" 
If  the  reason  is  that  they  disagree  with 
letting  males  catch  a  glimpse  of  a  female 
figure  clothed  in  immodest  attire,  or 
vice  versa,  what  do  they  think  happens 
■when  we  get  together  for  class  lap  prac- 
tice, or  when  we  take  a  date  to  the  lake- 
side? 

If,  on  the  other  hand,  we  are  thought 
to  be  too  immature  to  know  how  to  con- 
trol our  natural  instincts  and  would  be 
unable  to  hold  back  our  sexual  deshes  in 
a  public  place,  then  why  do  they  fo: 


part  from  the  love  Christ  has  for  us. 

We,  being  somewhat  mature  playc.,, 
but  hardly  fit  for  the  big  league  of  Satan 
must  take  into  account  our  every  weak- 
ness.    Having  seen  our  passion  and  pride 
give  us  great  set-backs  in  the  past,  our 
defense  begins  to  take  perspective.   Every 
good  ball  team  sets  its  defense  up  the 
farthest  possible  point  away  from  their 
goal  line,  so  must  we.   I  pray  the  connec. 
tion  is  clear.  ,    ] 

How  does  the  evidence  given  in  the 
Bible  and  the  Spirit  of  Prophecy  stack  un 
against  the  clearly  loaded  side  of  our  own 
desires.   There  is  no  doubt,  most  of  us 
enjoy  a  fun  day  at  the  beach.   How  does 
our  desire  to  be  with  Jesus  in  the  heaven- 
ly kingdom  compare  with  our  desire  to 
have  a  good  time  on  this  earth?   Would 
anyone  care  to  join  me  this  weekend  to 
sing  praises  to  Christ  and  pass  out  litera- 
ture at  Lake  Chickamaugua?   Paint  some 
dresses  on  your  sun-glasses  and  let's  go! 


My  personal  feelings  toward  the  issue 
are  very  straight-forward.  1  see  no  legit- 
imate, mature  reason  why  a  male  should 
not  learn  how  to  relate  to  a  female  and 
vice  versa,  while  they  are  participating  in 
a  decidedly  healthy  activity  under  the 
supervision  of  the  lifeguard  that  is  always 
present. 

After  all,  the  administration  should 
take  advantage  of  the  fact  that  they  can 
get  students  of  both  sexes  together  under 
supervision,  rather  than  laying  down  rid- 
iculous laws  that  cause  us  to  find  our 
own  swimming  areas  which,  needless  to 
say,  tend  to  be  away  from  the  watchful 
eye  of  our  beloved  SMC  guardian. 

In  my  own  opinion,  the  pool  would 
be  used  much  more  if  the  absolutely 
childish  rules  were  relaxed  and  the  stu- 
dents would  benefit  from  being  in  con- 
tact with  the  opposite  sex  in  the  varied 
situations  that  life  in  our  modern  society 
dictates.    I  would  hate  to  graduate 


[  remote  lake,  instead  of  letting 

1  where  they  can  watch  us 
I  little  kids  at  play? 


to  find  our  own  secluded  spot  by  some  ^yggj^  Q^ly  to  realize  that  my  expensive 


education  did  not  prepare  me  for  the 
shock  of  the  realistic  world.

The  Southern  Accent 


Student  senate  accepts 
SA  budget  proposal 


In  Tuesday  night  action,  the  Student 
Senate  voted  to  accept  the  proposed  SA 
budget  for  next  year.   The  budget,  set  at 
$36,950,  was  based  on  dues  from  1,300 
students,  each  paying  $27  in  their  general 
fee.   Next  year's  SA  treasurer,  Ed  Jackson, 
presented  the  budget. 

The  quorum  for  the  meeting  was 
reached  after  the  "unquorumed  Senate" 
voted  to  dismiss  five  senators  so  that  a 
quorum  could  be  reached.   They  were 
[dismissed  on  counts  of  excessive  Senate 
meeting  absences. 

I     Certain  points  of  the  over-all  budget 
were  discussed  at  length  before  accep- 
tance.  Included  in  this  was  the  budget 
for  next  year's  Southern  Accent.    The 
Iquestion  was  raised  why  the  Accent 
[editor  and  the  paper  budget   would 
be  getting  more  money  if  they  planned 
to  cut  back  to  four  pages  next  year, 
instead  of  the  regular  weekly  eight 
teages.   Editor-elect  Everett  Wilhelmsen 
jpointed  out  that  the  paper  was  going 
Ito  be  printed  in  Summerville,  Georgia, 
[which  is  SO  miles  south  of  SMC.    He  ' 
[said  the  change  in  printers  was  due  to 
"the  lack  of  his  experience  in  the  fields 
if  printing  and  graphic  arts.    Summer-

■'"'to  Hinsdale,  lllnois,  to  enter  at

r"i  returned  to  Canada  and  spent  the 
it'"  '^'w  years  at  Oshawa,  Ontario,  near 
pKWay  College. 
'.When  asked  why  he  came  to  College- 

''  Dr.  Kutzner  said  that  the  education 
"eilities  were  a  major  factor  in  his  de- 


although    the  rural  setting  and  the 

warm  climate  had  a  large  part  in  helping 
him  and  his  family  decide.   They  origin- 
ally were  headed  for  Cahfornia,  but  after 
they  saw  Collegedale,  they  decided  not 
to  look  any  further. 

Dr.  Kutzner  is  the  father  of  three 
children,  Evonne  who  is  1 6  and  a  junior 
at  Collegedale  Academy;  Micky,  14,  a 
freshman  at  Collegedale  Academy;  and 
Donny,9,  who  is  in  the  third  grade  at 
Spaulding  Elementary  School. 

Dr.  Kutzner  says  that  he  enjoys 
general  practice  much  more  than  emer- 
gency room  work  because  of  the  more 
prolonged  contact  and  better  opportun- 
ities to  establish  relationships  with  the 
people  of  the  area.   He  feels  that  It  is 
very  important  to  a  Christian's  witness 
to  establish  long  term  relationships 
with  people.    He  believes  that  family 
practice  is  more  than  "seeing  you  when 
you're  ill."   Dr.  Kutzner  wants  to  pro- 
mote the  preventive  approach  to  treat- 
ment. 

One  of  the  ideas  Dr.  Kutzner  would 


like  to  promote  in  the  area  of  Preventive 
Medicine  is  the  annual  physical  check-up. 
He  also  would  like  to  encourage  the 
treatment  of  the  whole  family. 

Dr.  Kutzner  will  be  seeking  hospital 
privileges  and  to  make  it  easier  to  treat 
patients  who  have  to  be  hospitalized. 
His  next  project  is  a  partner.  He  also 
feels  that  the  Collegedale  area  warrants 
a  larger  clinic  with  specialists  and  per- 
haps even  a  hospital  later  on. 

Dr.  Kutzner  has  a  deep  interest  in 
Psychiatry  and  intends  to  do  some 
psychiatric  counseling  next  year.   He  is 
also  interested  in  photography  and  car- 
pentry.  He  loves  to  travel  and  says  that 
most  of  his  family  vacations  are  traveling 
vacations.   This  summer  Dr.  Kutzner  and 
his  family  will  join  the  Collegedale  Aca- 
demy on  a  tour  through  Germany  from 
May  15  througli  June  9. 

Dr.  Kutzner  is  looking  forward  to 
getting  acquainted  with  the  students  the 
coming  year  and  expects  to  enjoy  his 
new  practice  very  much.

.   We  can  start  by  ask- 

I  quest  11 


Should  wc  dislinguish  bciwcon  drama  and  cine- 
ma?  Some  individuals  would  say  yes.  drama  is 
acceptable,  bul  movies  are  still  "otT  limits."   The 
action  Is  somewhat  more  distant  in  the  cinema, 
but  the  scenes  are  more  realistic.    Drama  has  an 
advantage  of  establishing  a  feeling  of  closeness 
between  the  actors,    Cnntenl  differs  little.    Cer- 
tainly, there  is  no  justillcalion  for  denouncing 
the  cinema  while  condoning  the  allendance  at 
dramatic  productions. 

Just  how  prevalent  is  movie  going  at  SMC? 

According  lo  one  Talgc  resident.  "Hardly  a  day 

goes  by  that  I  don't  hear  someone  talking  about 

ime  Hick  they've  seen.    And  I  haven't  been  to 

movie  yet  where  good  ole'  SMC  wasn't  well 

presented." 

Is  this  a  realistic  reflection  of  what  actually 
does  lake  place?    Quite  startling,  yet  interest- 
ing, was  a  "straw"  sampling  of  about  30  SMC 
students  taken  one  afternoon  this  past  week  by 
this  reporter.    Forty-five  percent  of  the  students 
questioned  answered  positively  to  the  question 
"Have  you  attended  the  theatre  this  year?" 
Out  ol  ihose  45  percent,  1/3  also  said  "yes"  in 
response  to  ilic  question  of  "Would  you  classify 
yoursell  as  a  Irequent  or  habitual  movie  goer?" 

Kenneth  Spears,  dean  of  students,  reminds  us 
that  theatre  attendance  is  against  school  policy 
and  is  classified  as  "questionable  entertainment" 
in  the  student  handbook. 

When  ;isked  to  comment  on  the  question 
tossed  around  tYequcntly  by  many  students,  thai 
1!  movies  here  previously  shown  in 
ind  thereby  practicing  a  double  stand- 
ard. Dean  Spears  had  this  to  say:    "We  try  to 
select  movies  that  arc  compatable  with  church 
policy.    Some  students  would  say  'Why  not  let 
tions  and  choices?",  but 
some  cati  be  discrete  while  others  can't.    A  per 
you  there  wouldn't  know  whelhei 


you  were  discrete  or  not,  and  would  classify  you 

movie  goer.    The  same  theatre  that  shows 
"Fiddler  on  the  Roof  one  week  might  show  "The 
Exorcist"  the  next,  and  for  all  this  individual 
would  know,  you  would  probably  see  it  too." 

Dean  Spears  went  on  to  say  that  one  objection 
he  did  have  to  us  bringing  movies  on  campus  is 
that  we  are  supporting  an  industry  that  makes  all 
the  other  "junk." 

Wlien  asked  his  position  on  theatrical  attend-     - 
ance.  Elder  K.  R.  Davis,  director  of  counseling 
and  testing,  responded  by  saying,  "Personally, 
I  am  opposed  to  theatrical  attendance.    I'm  on 
the  film  committee,  and  very  few  films  produced 
in  the  last  few  years  are  acceptable  for  use  here. 
To  me,  the  theory  people  use  about  the  bad  en- 
vironment of  the  theatre  holds  no  water.   You 
xan.  for  instance,  sit  in  your  own  car  at  a  drive-in. 
So  what's  so  bad  about  seeing  an  occasional  good 
movie?   People  associate  bad  things  with  the 
theatre  and  if  seen  attending,  we  could  impart  a 
negative  influence  to  others." 

What  can  we  learn  from  E.G.  White  about  the 
theatre?    According  to  one  theology  major,  Mrs. 
White's  ideas  concerning  theatre  attendance 
closely  parallel  her  ideas  on  the  novel.    He  says, 
"When  Mrs.  White  used  the  word  'novel'  in  her 
writings,  she  always  used  it  in  a  derogatory  sense. 
This  would  mean  there  are  no  good  novels. 
"Throughout  her  writing."  he  explains,  "you  find 
these  crheria:    sensationalism,  sentimentalism,  and 
that  which  is  designed  to  evoke  emotion  tor  its  own 
sake.   She  always  condemns  things  with  these  quali 
fications.    It's  not  the  form  that's  wrong,  its  the 
content." 

Mrs.  White  refers  to  theatre  attendance  many 
times  in  her  writing  and  nearly  always  denounces 
it  along  with  horse  racing  and  gambling  as  an  ad- 


/  ot  the  tollegian 

With  the  advent 
tion  pictures,  how- 


dictivc,  "worldly"  amusement 

of  television  and  educational  r 

ever,  we  have  come  to  accept  visual  media  as  a 

valuable  means  of  presenting  ideas.    Realizing  that 

we  can  gain  much  from  drama  and  cinema,  we 

must  decide  what  is  valuable  and  what  is  acceptable 

to  us  as  Christians. 

The  Christian  must  consider  content.    That 
which  is  superficial  and  sentimental  will  not  pre- 
pare us  to  cope  with  reality  as  we  will  find  it.    That 
which  dwells  upon  the  sordid  and  ugly  sides  of  life 
will  not  bring  us  closer  to  Christ  or  help  us  relate 
to  others  in  a  more  meaningful  way. 

Life  must  be  portrayed  realistically.  This  does 
not  mean  it  will  always  be  pleasant,  but  we  have 
fo  remember  that  we  cannot  constantly  view  the 
evil  side  of  life  and  not  be  affected  in  a  harmful 
way.  -Frank  Potts

Editor-elect 
expresses  xdsionai 


Everett  Wilhelmsen,  currently  a  junior  English 
major,  has  talked  about  his  plans  in  depth  for 
next  year's  Southern  Accent.    In  order  to  keep 
our  Accent  readers  informed  about  pertinent  news 
relating  to  the  publication,  we  interviewed  Everett. 
to  get  first  hand  his  views  on  what's  inistore  for 
next  year's  publications. 

When  questioned  about  his  innovations,  he 
came  across  with  such  ideas  as  including  more 
humor  into  the  paper  and  some  feature  articles 
that  would  present  meaty  dialogue  between  peo- 
ple."   He  went  on  to  say,  "1  like  a  pro  and  con 
side  presented  on  issues  and  questions  being  rai- 
sed, but  1  don't  want  to  print  anything  that  would 
hurt  the  school." 

This  brought  up  the  question:    If  an  event  oc- 
cured,  or  there  was  some  issue  that  the  students 
should  be  made  aware  of  would  you  pursue  it, 
knowing  it  may  be  of  some  detriment  to  the 
school's  public  relations?    Everett  responded  with 
a  brave,  but  qualified  "yes."    1  would  inake  sure 
though,  that  all  the  facts  were  presented  and  that 
it  would  not  be  a  personal  opinion.    Then  it  would 
be  up  to  the  reader  to  make  any  judgments. 

This  year's  Southern  Accent  has  received  some 
critism,  as  probably  every  well  read  publication  does, 
but  one  in  particular  was  given  by  one  of  our 
guest  writers  for  the  Viewpoint.    As  this  respec- 
table individual  was  turning  over  his  contribution 
the  comment  was  made  that  he  was  opposed  to 
such  piting  of  individuals  against  each  other  on 
controversial  issues.    It  was  suggested  that  the 
Accent  reevaluate  its  philosophy  in  terms  of  the 
admonitiori'whatsoevcr  things  are  lovely  think  of 
these.'as  given  in  Phil.  4:8. 

Everett's  response  was  solicited  in  regard  to 
this  change.    He  expressed  himself  by  saying,    "1

The  Southern  Accent  April  25,  1974 


a  forgotten  past 


Nestled  off  in  a  corner  of  the  Eastgate  Mall 
parking  lot.  seemingly  untouched  by  hundreds 
of  passers  by,  is  the  sight  of  the  old  Brainerd 
Mission.  When  strolhng  Ihrougli  the  semi-kept 
grounds  of  the  walled  ccmetary,  one  is  remind- 
ed of  a  heritage  that  has  almost  been  forgotten 
by  the  tempo  of  our  fast  paced  society. 

Inserted  on  the  gatepost  stands  these  few  li- 
nes of  inspired  counsel  to  modern  man:    "Re- 
move not  the  ancient  land  mark  which  thy  fa- 
thers have  set."  Proverbs  22:28. 


On  Second  Thought 


(continued  from  page  5) 

that  the-press  would  have  the  annual  out 
two  months  after  all  the  material  was  de- 
livered. Since  the  final  pages  of  the  Mem- 
ories were  sent  two  months  before  school 
was  out,  this  did  not  necessitate  any  de- 
lays at  the  press  because  of  the  foremen- 
tioned  agreement. 

Assuming  the  Annual  article  is  "lop- 
sided" and  a  "misrepresentation"  as  Mr. 
Jones  repeatedly  points  out,  this  would 
not  have  been  the  case  if  Elder  Davis 
had  been  more  open.    The  Accent  would 
gladly  have  presented  Elder  Davis's  opin- 
ions if  he  would  have  given  them  to  us. 
Therefore,  this  article  is  not  lop-sided 
but  merely  a  report  from  sources  direc- 
tly connected  with  the  yearbook. 

The  only  comment  Mr.  Carey  used 
that  may  be  taken  as  an  editorial  com- 
ment is  the  phrase  "less  than  cordial" 

'ference  to  K.  R.  Davis's  disposi- 
tion when  confronted  with  the  late 
delivery  of  the  annual.    The  rest  of  the 
article  is  written  a  newspaper  feature 
style. 

Another  item  that  emerged  this  week 
is  that  if  the  Memories  staff  wou^  have 
met  their  deadlines  with  regularity  they 
would  also  have  been  allowed  to  do  a 
special  supplement  that  would  have  cov- 
ered the  final  happenings  of  the  school 

In  further  investigation  this  week  the 
Accent  has  learned  that  K.  R.  Davis  re- 
ceived his  information  from  one  source 
at  the  publishing  firm  while  Mr.  Carey 
interviewed  another  source  at  the  press 
(Mr.  Thomas  Young,  yearbook  repre- 
sentitiveK    At  the  rime  of  the  interview 
those  statements  quoted  in  last  week's 
article  were  given  to  the  Accent  by  Mr. 
T  Young.    It  appears  that  the  ambiguity 
stems  from  a  difference  of  opinion  be- 
tween sources  at  the  press  rather  than 
lop-sided  journalism.    Whether  or  not 
Joeston  American  Publishing  would  have 
been  able  to  deliver  the  Memories  in  the 
eight  weeks  that  Young  promised  is  still 
a  mailer  of  debate  and  will  probably 
stay  an  unsolved  mystery. 


"Afluudiyeti" 


Dear  Editors: 

I'd  like  to  express  my  appreciation  to  Ric 
Carey  for  not  burdening  the  Accent  readers 
with  the  "facts"  in  last  weeks  article  concerning 
the  Annual's  delay.  I  would  also  like  to  express 
my  gratitude  to  Ric  for  offering  us  a  convenient 
scapegoat  in  the  form  of  Mr.  Davis,  rather  than 
"raking  muck"  by  focusing  on  the  real  bunglers 
of  the  Annual.  This  is  true  journalism  in  its 
highest  form.  Again,  thank-you. 

-Dennis  E.  Burke 

Dear  Editors: 

In  the  Feb.  27  issue  of  the  Southern  Ac- 
cent, I  noticed  an  imported  editorial  from  TRe 
Collegian  calling  for  the  church  to  stop  inves- 
ting in  the  armaments  industry. 

n  a  subsequent  issue  of  the  Accent,  I  noticed 
that  the  Student  Association  is  called  "a  hollow 
echo  chamber,"  virith  70  percent  of  the  students 
:  even  bothering  to  vote  in  SA  elections. 
Why  haven't  the  editors  of  the  Accent  and 
the  officials  of  the  SA  written  to  the  General 
Conference  requesting  the  list  of  companies  in 
which  the  church  has  investments?   Does  the 
church  really  reap  profit  from  the  manufacture 
of  armaments?  I  f  so,  how  can  the  SMC  student 
>ody  sink  into  apathy?  Why  aren't  they  organ- 
zing  petition  drives  and  alerting  their  home  pas- 
iors  and  churches  to  this  obvious  degeneration 
ijf  Seventh-day  Adventtst  morality? 

I  should  think  such  a  project  would  give  the 
:5A  a  sense  of  purpose  as  well  as  "something  to 
.Jo." 

As  John  said  in  Revelation  3:15  regarding 
The  church  in  Laodicea,  "I  know  you  well~you 
3re  neither  hot  nor  cold;  I  wish  you  were  one 
or  the  otherl" 


OteditUdm 

Dear  Editors: 

I  have  been  reading  the  Southern  Accent 
or  three  years,  and  I  have  seen  staffs  come 
.fid  go.  This  year  was  no  exception.  First 
emester  the  staff  changed  every  week.  It 
vas  like  a  game  to  see  who  had  joined  the 
staff  and  who  quit.  The  game  really  started 
"^  become  interesting  when  Ric  Carey,  a  chem- 


istry major,  took  News  Editor  and  later  Ass. 
Ed.    Then  it  happened,  Hallock  resigned  and' 
Ric  Carey  and  Steve  Grimsley  took  over.    What 
was  in  store  for  the  Southern  Accent  was 
raesars  coming  back.    I  must  say  now,  with 
311  seriousness,  good  work  Ric  and  Steve.    You 
handled  gauselers.   Well,  I  know  that  you  feel 
that  your  long  hours  were  spent  in  vain,  but 
nobody  understands  your  situation  better  than 
k   You  deserve  credit.    Last  weeks  paper  was 
excellent,  a  fresh  new  exciting  format,  and  an 
impressive  looking  cover  photo.    You  both 
woriced  hard  and  I  am  one  person  who  is  not 
letting  this  year  go  by  without  telling  you 
thank  you.   Thank  you  for  a  paper  that  has 
been  greatly  improved  with  every  issue.    Again 
I  thanks.

Dear  Edit 


was  not  surprised  but  nevertheless  dis- 
gusted with  last  week's  article  "Big  Deal."   t 
do  not  feel  that  the  article's  statistics  were  ac- 
curate and  I  could  give  some  contrasting  but 
equally  valid  facts  on  the  same  subject. 

However,  accuracy  is'not  the  basis  of  my 
rebuttal.   I  am  disgusted  with  not  just  this 
article  but  all  articles  of  this  type  appearing 
in  our  school  paper.   I  fail  lo  see  the  purpose 
of  this  particular  article.  Was  it  intended  to 
glorify  these  card  players  and  gamblers?  Was 
it  to  awe  the  rest  of  the  student  body  who  do 
not  play  cards?  Or  could  it  have  been  written 
to  give  some  "outsider"  an  accurate  (?)  descrip

Faculty 

fo  be 

absent 

for '74 -'75 

school  year 


As  the  school  year  draws  to  a  close, 
it  becomes  evident  that  day  to  day  lives 
here  at  SMC  must  become  dormant  dur- 
ing the  summer  months.    The  process  of 
packing,  storing  and  saying  good-bye  be- 
comes a  reality.    Some  will  be  graduating, 
some  will  be  attending  other  institutions 
of  learning,  while  the  rest  will  merely  re- 
turn for  another  year  of  "superior  learn- 
ing" and  "Southern  living."    Surprisingly 
enough,  these  same  trains  of  thought  are 
also  present  in  faculty  circles.    It  has 
come  to  the  attention  of  Accent  that  a 
portion  of  this  year's  faculty  staff  will 
not  be  with  us  for  the  1974-1975  school 
year. 

Some  teachers  will  be  taking  their  sab- 
baticals, a  year's  leave  of  absence;  some 
will  be  leaving  with  their  husbands  who 
have  found  jobs  in  other  parts  of  the 
country;  one  will  be  retiring;  while  still 
another  will  be  leaving  due  to  a  necessary 
cut-back  in  departmental  staff. 

Geneweve  McCormick 

Perhaps  the  faculty  member  leaving 
for  the  most  joyous  reason  will  be  Mrs. 
Genevieve  McCormick,  associate  professor 
of  speech.  She  will  be  married  in  August 
and  the  man  is  to  be  Dr.  Walter  Ost,  lay- 
field  secretary  for  the  General  Conference 
After  the  wedding  the  newlyweds  will 

I  spend  three  months  in  the  Far  Eastern 
Division.    Following  their  excursion  to 
the  far  east,  they  will  return  to  Avon 
Park,  Florida  where  they  will  make  their

Mrs.  McCormick,  in  years  past,  served 
as  Assistant  Dean  of  Women  at  Walla 
Walla  College.   After  receiving  her  M.A. 
in  1966  from  the  University  of  Washing- 
ton in  Seattle,  she  desired  to  teach  full- 
time  on  the  college  level  in  the  field  of 
speech.    It  was  at  this  time  that  she  re- 
ceived the  position  of  associate  professor 
of  speech  here  at  SMC.    She  has  since 
'hen  completed  additional  studies  at 
Northwestern  University,  Evanston,  Illi- 
nois; University  of  Michigan  in  Ann  Arbor 
and  Andrews  University,  Berrien  Springs, 
Michigan. 

Mrs.  McCormick  is  a  member  of  the 
Southern  Speech  Association,  the  Speech 
Association  of  America,  and  the  Ameri- 
<^n  Association  of  University  Women- 
Music  Study  Group. 

After  eight  years  at  SMC,  Mrs.  McCor- 
niick  says  she  is  going  to  hate  to  leave. 
™r  six  years  of  her  stay  at  SMC  she  has 
enjoyed  being  the  sponsor  of  the  Student 
Association  Programs  Committee.    "The 
fning  I  liave  found  most  enjoyable  here 
's  Working  with  the  students."    Aside 
hom  this,  she  and  her  Oral  Interpretation 
'lass  have  put  on  religious  plays  almost 
'y^ry  year  since  she's  been  here.    Mrs. 
MeCormick  said  that  teaching  has  been 
,J^r  whole  life  and  that  it  would  be  hard 
'0  give  up.    "I  think  this  is  the  greatest 
*'nooi  and  the  most  wonderful  depart- 
fiSnltowork  under."

During  his  service  at  SMC,  Mr  OtI 

developed  a  syllabus-audio  system  for 

learning  Spanish.   The  system  is  comprised 

of  thirty-two  chapters  with  tapes  to  go  a-

language  department,  Mr.  Helmut  Ott, 
assistant  professor  of  modern  languages 
and  instructor  in  Spanish,  will  be  leaving 
SMC.   According  to  administrative  policy,

of  staff  in  that  department  is  necessary. 
Mr.  Ott,  being  the  last  to  join  the  Modern 
Language  Department  in  1971,  is  the 
first  to  go.

SA  Pres.-elect ,  Gale  Jones, 
prepares  for  coming  year 

1^  "  ...i,.„u„  ,1,.,  ct,,rlpnt  hnriv  can  see  where     h|e  foi;  like  roller  skatii 


Gale  Jones,  newly  elected  president  of 
the  SA,  discussed  her  plans  for  next 
school  year,  oil  which  she  has  been  dili- 
gently working  since  her  election  one 
week  ago. 

Already  accomplished  are  the  ap- 
pointments of  three  offices  which  she 
must  do  in  accordance  with  the  newly 

lised  SA  constitution    The  first  appoint 

was  that  of  Ed  Jackson  to  the  position 


of  Treasurer.    Ed,  a  junior  business  major 
has  been  the  business  manager  of  the 
Southern  Accent  this  year.   The  position 
of  secretary  has  been  given  to  Gloria 
Perkins,  a  freshman  business  administra- 
tion major,  who  received  an  award  in 
chapel  Tuesday  for  having  a  typing  speed 
of  over  ninety  words  per  minute.   Miss 
:s  said  tliat  Gloria  is  very  capable  in 
secretarial  work  as  shown  by  her  work 
previously  done  as  a  full-time  secretary. 
Judy  Wade,  a  sophomore  art  major,  will 
fulfill  the  position  of  Social  Director.    An 
ippointee  for  Parliamentarian  has  not 
been  decided  on.   During  this  phase  of 
the  interview.  Gale  added  "1  just  don't 
want  people  to  think  I'm  chosing  my 
friends." 

Another  completed  facet  of  the  pre- 
liminary duties  of  the  student  govern- 
ment is  the  budget  proposals.  Gale  stated 
that,  "Instead  of  the  $2,000  surplus  in 
SA  funds  this  year,  we  foresee  a  surplus 
of  $5,000.   This  is  partly  due  to  the  fact 
that  the  student  SA  fee  of  $26,  paid  at 
registration,  is  going  up  to  $27  "    The 
total  sum  of  lees  paid  by  the  student  bodv 
comes  to  about  $35,960    Gale  went  on 
to  say,  "I  hope  to  have  a  system 


whereby  the  student  body  can  see  where 
their  money  is  going  to." 

As  the  interview  progressed  the.  realm 
of    social  activities  for  next  year  was 
talked  about.    In  particular,  the  Artist 
Adventure  Series  was  discussed,  and 
Gale  felt  that  the  programs  were  indeed 
not  directed  toward  the  student  liking. 
She  explained,  "The  programs  are  brought 
in  by  the  faculty  and  they're  geared  to- 
ward the  faculty."    In  regard  to  this  pro- 


ble  foi;  like  roller  skating  and  hay  rides. 
There  are  some  things  that  she  doesn't 
go  for  as  she  aptly  put  it,    "Streaking 
is  definitely  out."   With  regards  to  what 
Gale  thought  should  be  changed  on  cam- 
pus as  to  rules  or  whatever  she  stated, 
"The  SA  is  not  a  gripe  session,  and  we 
can't  change  the  rules.    What  I  would 
like  to  see  changed  most  is  the  apatJietic 
attitude  of  so  many  students.    1  love 
the  college  myself  and  I  want  everyone 


blem  she  expressed  a  hope  in  a  greater 
student  voice  to  help  correct  this,  be- 
cause as  she  understands  it,"The  kids 
just  didn't  seem  to  show  up  for  the  pro- 
grams during  this  past  year." 

Basically,  Gale's  dea  of  good  fun  when 
it  comes  to  SA  programs  is  to  involve  the 
student.   She  has  hopes  that  the  Social 
Director  will  include  such  things  in  the 
eight  Sat.  nights  that  the  SA  is  responsi- 


to  have  a  good  spirit  about  it." 

Gale  was  asked  if  she  felt  that  the  fac 
ulty  and  admimstration  was  behind  her, 
and  if  they  would  be  conciling  toward  her 
government.  She  replied  with  a  smile, 
"I've  gotten  so  many  calls  already  of  co 
gratulations  and  a  desire  to  support  and 
help  me  from  the  faculty,  and  I'm  sure 
gonna"  take  advantage  of  it."

Shopping  center 
planned  for  4-corners 

Plans  are  in  the  making  for  a  shop 
ping  center  complex  to  be  built  at  4- 
cornerSj  perhaps  within  the  next  five 
years.   Sources  revealed  to  the  Accent 
that  it  would  be  built  behind  the 
Exxon  station,  and  the  businesses 
that  may  operate  would  be  among 


Steen  to  join 
SMC  Biology  dept. 

The  Biology  Department  will  take  on 
a  new  professor  next  year,  and  a  Bachelor 
of  Science  degree  will  be  offered  in  ad- 
dition to  the  present  Bachelor  of  Arts 
degree.    Forty  hours  will  be  required  for 
the  B.S.  including  cognate  requirements 
in  chemistry  and  mathematics. 

David  A.  Steen  attended  SMC  and  is 
currently  attending  Loma  Linda  Univer- 
sity to  work  on  his  doctorate.   He  will 
be  joining  the  Biology  Department  of 
SMC  in  the  fall. 

Two  new  three-hour  courses  will  be 
offered  in  Biology  next  year.  Mycology, 
course  number  115,  will  be  a  study  of 
fungi  with  emphasis  on  mushrooms, 
molds,  and  yeasts.   Philosophy  of  Science, 
course  number  123,  will  involve  the  study 
of  the  theories'' of  origins  and  the  varia- 
tions among  animals  today. 


others:    a  supermarket,  a  laundra- 
mat,  a  pizza  restaurant  and  ice  cream 
parlor,  a  bank,  a  clothing  store,  and 
perhaps  a  large  department  store  that 
would  move  out  of  Chattanooga  due 
to  increasing  harassment  over  Sunday 

laws. 

The  projected  cost  for  building 
the  plant  runs  as  high  as  $500,000. 
Problems  have  arisen,  however,  from 
a  present  inadequate  sewage  disposal 
system.  An  application  has  been  sub- 
mitted for  the  county  to  absorb 
this  cost,  but  in  the  event  this  is 
turned  down  a  cost  of  $125,000 
will  be  necessary  to  cover  this. 

Much  has  been  accomplished 
toward  the  feasibility  of  such  a 
project,  as  the  county  has  agreed 
to  reroute  the  road  leading  into 
Collegedale  from  4-corners.   This 
work  will  begin  in  April  and  involves 
doing  away  with  the  hill  between 
the  two,  and  incorporating  three 
lanes  instead  of  the  present  two 
lanes.   The  road  leading  to  Summit 
from  4-corners,  and  the  Ooltewah 
Ringold  Road  will  be  resurfaced. 
These  road  improvements  will  provide 
easy  access  to  the  12,000  people  that 
ivill  serve  the  shopping  center. 

Even  from  these  improvements,  and 
from  solutions  to  other  problems 
ahead,  it  will  be  at  least  five  years 
before  any  building  will  begin. 


"God  Invented  Sex,"  a  new  book  by 
Dr.  Charles  Wittschiebe,  professor  of 
pastoral  care  at  the  Seventh-day  Adven- 
tist  Theological  Seminary,  Berrien  Springs, 
Mich.,  has  been  released  by  the  Southern 
'Publishing  Association. 

Dr.  Wittschiebe  plans  to  donate  his 
royalties  after  expenses  to  the  Fellow- 
ship Fund,  which  assists  students  needing 
financial  aid  at  the  Seminary. 

According  to  Dr.  Wittschiebe,  the 
book  does  not  concentrate  so  much  on 
the  physical  aspects  of  sex  as  on  the 
mental  and  emotional  factors  of  sexuahty. 
Topics  covered  include  lovemaking,  birth 
control,  college  marriages,  integrated  mar- 
riages, and  divorce. 

The  book  is  designed  for  both  married 
and  engaged  couples.    Dr.  Wittschiebe  has 
compiled  the  questions  most  frequently 
asked  during  his  lectures,  and  has  drawn 


upon  his  many  years  of  experience  as  a 
marriage  counselor. 

"The  way  Satan  has  capitalized  on  se: 
lately,  you  would  think  he  had  invented 

d  Dr.  Wittschiebe.    "However,  Scrip 
ture  clearly  teaches  that  God  invented  sex 
He  intended  it  to  be  such  a  beautiful  ex- 
perience that  He  even  used  it  to  illustrate 
Christ's  relationship  to  the  church." 

Dr.  Wittschiebe  noted  that  sexual  pro- 
blems are  rarely  caused  by  physical  de- 
fects.   "Those  who  do  not  experience  the 

uty  of  sexual  performance  usually  fail 
because  of  unhealthy  attitudes,"  he  said. 
Sex  is  more  a  matter  of  mind  than  of 
body." 

Besides  lecturing  for  Adventist  groups 

the  U.S.  and  overseas,  he  has  conducted 
classes  in  Christian  sex  education  for  other 
churches  and  public  schools  in  the  Andrew 
University  area. 


Six  SMC  students  embark  on 
Project  England" 


May  28  is  the  scheduled  date    for  a 
group  of  nine  Adventist  youth  to  embark 
for  a  one  year  "youth  ministry"  known 
as  "Project  England."   Three  cities  in 
Devonshire,  England-Torquay,  Exeter, 
and  Barnstaple -will  be  the  field  of 
service  for  these  young  evangelists. 

The  program  will  have  component 
parts  consisting  of  the  Torquay  Gate, 
housework  in  all  three  cities  mentioned, 
Andrews  University  evangelistic  field 
school,  street  witnessing,  youth  center 
ministry  and  weekend  church  ministry. 

John  Wohlfeil  and  his  wife,  formerly 
of  the  Heritage  Singers,  will  be  the 
directors  of  the  team.   Crystal  Norris, 
and  six  from  SMC-Leclair  Litchfield, 
Mark  Drennan,  Olga  Soler,  Scott  Hale, 
Linda  Wheeler,  and  Dennis  Hunt-comp- 
lete the  group. 


"England  is  a  country  desperately 
in  need  of  the  gospel,"  says  Dennis  Hunt. 
He  explains,  "England  has  been  estimated 
to  be  99  per-cent  agnostic.   Exeter  alone 
has  a  population  of  94,000  and  only  7 
Adventist  in  the  city."    (There  is  no 
record  available  for  the  number  of  other 
Christian  faiths.)  , 

When  asked  about  the  financial  need 
of  the  group,  Mark  Drennan  said,  "Yes, 
there  is  one!    The  Lord  has  been  good 
to  us  with  donations  from  both  the 
English  and  American  people,  but  we 
still  need  almost  $6,000  for  the  trans- 
portation over  and  back." 

Students  and  faculty  can  give  donations 
to  members  of  the  group;  or  for  a 
tax  deductable  donation,  send  dollars 
to:  Forest  Lake  Academy,  Project 
England,  Box  157,  Maitland,  Florida^

Noorbergen :  It  is  entitled  The  Ark  File 
and  it  will  be  out  May  1 5. 

Accent:  Could  you  briefly  tell  us  what 
it  is  about? 

Noorbergen:  Yes,  the  whole  thing  is 
about  the  people  who  are  looking  for 
Noah's  ark  and  how  they  are  not  loo'dng 
to  vindicate  the  Bible  Story.  They  are 
looking  for  the  ark  for  self-glorification. 
They  really  don't  want  anybody  to 
find  the  ark.  They  get  glory  out  of  it. 
Because  of  that,  they  would  believe  any- 
thing they  get  ahold  of.  The  information 
they  come  up  with  is  far  fetched.  So, 
''ve  taken  some  of  the  latest  stories  apart. 

There  is  a  man  with  a  story  out  about 
some  Russians  that  are  supposed  to  have 
seen  the  ark  on  Mount  Ararat.  I  have 
taken  that  story  apart  to  the  point.  There 
may  be  a  couple  of  minor  highlights  in 
'!■  -'e  that  may  be  true,  but  the  rest  is 
•exaggerated. 


Accent:  Could  you  tell  us  a  little  about 
he  story  heard  so  often  concerning  the 
iliiee  scientists  who  sighted  the  ark  and 
TOwed  never  to  tell  anyone? 


bergen:  No  one  can  prove  the  idea 
°'  that  story.  1  can't  accept  it.  I  really 
°0"  t  think  it's  possible,  but  I  have  the 
^'°fy  m  the  book  as  a  possibility. 

Now,  what  1  stumbled  on  a  year  or  two 
;'8o  in  the  last  part  of  the  book  deals  with 
■'  young  man  who  claims  lo  have  worked 
■he  Smithsonion  in  1968.  They  brougln 
'some  pieces  of  the  ark  and  of  the  body 
winch  was  supposed  to  be  Noah  and  he 
™'""s  a  bunch  of  scieniists  who  worked 
All  kinds  of  details,  lantastic  dc- 
"1  the  whole  ihing,  bui  1  iracked 
'n  and  1  wuni  lo  Fiance  and  I  wcnl 


pert  just  disappeared  before  we  got  to 
his  home.  He  got  in  his  car  and  look  off 
And  he  did  not  come  back  until  late 
that  night  until  after  we  had  left    We 
returned  and  tracked  him  all  day    He 
agreed  to  take  a  lie-detector  test  on 
Sunday.  His  final  answer  was  he  w  uld 
not  imnd  taking  the  test  providing  he  was 
sure  that  Noorbergen  would  never  set 
a  hold  of  the  results. 

What  he  didn't  know  was  that  there 
IS  a  thing  called  PSE.  It  is  sort  of  a  lie 
detector  test  that's  been  developed  a 
couple  of  years  ago.  All  this  thing  does 
IS  tapes  your  voice.  He  came  to  my  hotel 
room  and  for  two  hours  we  put  selected 
questions  on  my  tape  recording.  And  with- 
in seconds  it  showed  that  he  was  lyine 
on  the  test.  ^ 

■Vou  see,  there's  two  frequencies  the 
AM  and  also  the  FM,  and  when  your 
voice  becomes  sensitive,  and  this  it 
does  when  you  try  to  falsify  informa- 
tion, it  tenses  up  your  voice  box  and 
it  depresses  the  FM  frequency.  Now 
you  can't  hear  it  when  your  talkinabut 
the  PSE  can  detect  it 

Accent:  Can  you  show  us  graph  sheets 
that  illustrate  lie  patterns? 

Noorbergen:    Here  (he  points  to 
graphs  of  the  PSE  recordings)  the  guy 
responds  to  a  question  I  asked  concerning 
the  relevant  facts  of  his  story.  As  he  said, 
"I  don't  remember  it  now,"  the  graph 
becomes  open  and  wide.  (Noorbergen 
adds):  Of  course  he  couldn't  remember. 
Wlial  he  claims  never  happened,  now  what 
he  saw.  The  graph  shows  a  tremendous 
strain  and  stress  when  he  tried  to  put 
across  his  story.  If  he  had  been  telling 
the  truth  all  these  FM  peaks  would  have 
shown  all  the  way  through  here.  Some 
other  lie  patterns  showed  up  when  he  made 
the  statement:  "Marich,  one  of  the  men 
at  the  laboratory  was  the  one  who  told 
me  that  it  was  Noah's  ark.    And  that  he 
has  the  bandages  from  the  mummy  of 
Noah."  We  got  so  many  lie  patterns  here 

Accent:  Can  you  print  those  results 
from  these  PSE  tests? 

Noorbergen;  Oh, certainly. 
Accent:  Is  it  accepted  by  the  courts? 

Noorbergen:  Already  the  state  of  Mary- 
land and  the  state  of  California  have  ac- 
cepted this  as  legal  evidence.  They  put 
John  Dean  on  it,  and  he  turned  out  to 
be  100^  correct-no  stress  patterns  at 
ail.  John  Mitchell's  was  one  big  mess.

say  they  arc  trying  10  prove  a  poim. 

Accent:  When  are  you  planning  to  go 
back  lo  Mount  Ararat  yoursein 


Lilalion. 


Accent:  I  talked  with  Elder  Vandermaii, 
I  talked  with  Elder  Robert  H.  Pierson  and 
some  other  men  in  Washington  and  they 
won't  tell  me  hardly  anything  about 
Noah's  ark  or  their  expeditions.  They're 
very  secretive  about  it. 


Noorbergen:  I  don'i  even  iliink  I  have 
tunc.  I  have  camp  meetings  all  summer 
and  next  year  I'll  probably  be  some- 
where in  Egypt. 


Noorbergen;  Elder  Pierson,  of  course 
wouldn't  stick  his  neck  out.  Vanderman 
and  Vanderbilt  don't  know  anything 
about  it.  There's  a  lot  of  people  you'll 
talk  to  that  will  give  you  a  lot  of  propa- 
ganda. George  Vanderman  will  give  you 
some  too.  He's  been  involved  in  this 
issue  since  I960.  Earl  Cummings,  the 
oldest  researcher  in  this  field  lives 
in  New  Mexico.  Dr.  Hewitt  a  man  in 
Huntsville,  Alabama,  claims  he  is  only 
interested  in  flowers  and  botany,  and 
that  is  why  he  goes  to  Mount  Ararat. 
There's  a  new  group  now  that  is  called 
fransWodd^nd  Herb  Douglas  of  the 
Review  is  involved  in  that  thing.  All 
very  secretive.  They  all  feel  they  have 
got  the  answer,  but  actually  they  don't 
know  a  thing.  It's  all  very  sick.  Elder 
Crawford  preaches  and  talks  about 
finding  the  ark.  You  can't  believe  him. 

Accent:  Whenever  he  preaches  he  always 
has  a  piece  of  the  ark. 

Noorbergen;  He  knows  it  isn't.  He  knov  < 
as  well  as  anybody  else  that  its  really  not   I 
part  of  the  ark.  What  happened  was  Ihar 
Navara,  a  frenchman,  found  Ihis  piece  of 
wood  in  1955  and  claims  that  this  was 
wood  of  Noah's  ark.  Now,  this  wood  has 
been  tested  by  various  laboratories  and 
it  is  about  1300  years  old.  And  the  ark 
has  to  be  at  least  4000  years  old.  Also 
it  is  not  Cyprus  wood  which  is  gopher 
wood.  It  is  white  oak.  The  outside  he 
said  was  made  of  gopher  and  Ihe  inside 
was  made  of  white  oak.  The  Bible  doesn't 
say  this. 

Accent:  Have  you  been  on  the  mountain 
yourself? 


Acccnl:  Some  people  believe  that  Mrs. 
Wliite  states  Ihe  ark  will  be  found  before 
time  ends.  Is  Ihis  so? 

Noorbergen;  Yes,  but  here  she's  speaking 
of  Ihe  ark  of  the  convenant.      I'll  probab- 
ly be  looking  at  something  next  year  about 
what  has  been  happening  or  what  is  happen 
ing  with  Ihe  Israelis  who  are  looking  for 
the  ark.  I've  got  some  eyewitness  accounts 
and  people  saying  that  they've  seen  things 
that  are  unbelievable.  Again.  I  don't 
believe  anybody  anymore. 


Accent;  Do  you  ever  have  a  free  mo- 
ment? 


,'^°,°M  q1»"-:  i'"  '""'  "P  '°  """"g  books 
until  1978  right  now. 

Accem;  Really?  Is  this  book  hke  a 
series,like  the  one  on  E.G.  White?  Some- 
thing like  Ihe  same  idea? 

Noorbergen:  Well,  no.  This  deals  with  a 
lot  of  psychic  phenomena  about  how  the 
devil  trys  to  play  God,  but  he  doesn't  do 
it  exactly  as  well  as  God.  He  fails  and  I 
show  why  he  fails  and  how  and  what  has 
happened  and  so  on.  After  that  I've  got 
Daniel  and  Revelation  coming  up.  That 
hook  is  going  to  be  a  hairy  one.  After 
that  I  have  plans  for  an  interesting  health 
reform  book  lo  show  thai  lliere  is  a 
program  to  die  and  a  program  lo  live. 


Accent:  Why  hasn't  this  come  out  in 
public? 

Noorbergen;  It  came  out  in  some  mag; 
zines:  Time  and  Newsweek,  to  give  ex 
amples,  tested  Ihis  thing  on  "To  Tell  The 
Truth"  and  it  was  94.6  per-cent  accurate 
in  showing  which  man  was  telling  the 
truth  and  which  man  was  lying. 

Accent;  Can  you  pick  this  up  off  a 
radio? 

Noorbergen;  Oh,  yes,  anything.  Al- 
ready police  departments  are  using  it. 
Wlien  they  interrogate  lliem  and  ihcy 
listen  to  the  guys,  ask  them  questions 
and  Ihey  answer  back.  When  the  an- 
swers arc  coming  m,  he  sees  pallerns- 
wide  iipenpalli 


Noorbergen:  Oh,  yes. 

Accent:  Do  you  believe  personally  that 
the  ark  is  up  there? 

Noorbergen:  Oh,  I  do.  I  think  so. 

Accent:  Are  they  just  prowling  or  findinjt 

Noorbergen:  Well,  ihey  arc  still  prowling 
it  in  an  area  of  40  sq.  miles.  A  rough 
luntain  territory  at  a  height  of  about 
14,000  feel.  All  major  stories  indicate 
that  it's  supposed  lo  be  at  th-.l  height. 
Most  of  the  expeditions  thai  go  are  always 
from  2-8  people.  It's  enough  lo  comb  the 
40  sq.  miles.  They  are  full  of  enlhusiasm. 
but  physically  ihey  are  not  in  shape.  Once 
these  people  gel  hooked  on  the  case  of 
ark  fever,  they  are  gone.  They  lose  all 
caution,  they  just  go  wild.  Many  times 
Ihe  expedition  would  end  up  in  a  fist  figlit 
because  each  one  wants  lo  gel  the  glory. 


Accent;  Are  Ellen  C.  White's  books 
cipyrighled? 

Noorbergen:  All  the  books  that  Ellen 
White  has  written  personally  and  most 
of  them  she  has  written  are  no  longer 
protected  by  copyrights  because  she  has 
K"n  dead  for  fifty  years.  Anyone,  can

Excavation  Starts 
On  New  Building 
For  Nursing  Depts. 

Excavation  for  the  foundation  and 
basement  of  the  new  building  for  the 
two  departments  of  nursing  at  Southern 
Missionary  College  is  under  way.  accord- 
ing to  Francis  Costerisan.  plant  engineer. 

Charles  Fleming  Jr.  who  directs  the 
building  activities  for  the  college,  said  that 
the  building  will  cost  approximately 
$300,000,  including  equipment  and 
furnishings,  and  that  hopefully  it  will 
be  completed  in  the  spring  of  1975. 

The  building  is  a  project  of  the  Comm- 
ittee of  100  with  a  major  portion  of  the 
funds  coming  from  Committee  dues  and 
contributions  of  the  members. 

The  building  will  have  approximately 
16,000  square  feet  with  two  floors  and 
a  partial  basement  under  one-third  of 
the  structure.  It  will  include  one  large 
auditorium,  one  large  class  room,  and

Southern  Missionary  College  has  al- 
ready accepted  1 ,279  students  for  the 
coming  fall  semester.  This  total  exceeds 
last  year's  acceptances  of  1 ,1 1 3  at  the 
same  time  by  1 66  students,  according 
to  Dr.  Arno  Kutzner,  director  of 
admissions  and  records. 

This  figure  suggests  that  SMC  will 
probably  have  a  substantial  increase  in 
enrollment  for  the  fall  term  of  1 974. 

The  college  has  grown  from  approxi- 
mately 500  students  in  1 957  to  almost 
1600  in  1974. 

The  following  indicate  some  of  the 
increases:  This  year  364  new  students 
have  been  accepted  at  this  time  while 
last  year  350  had  been  accepted;  915 
former  students  have  been  accepted  at 
this  time  as  compared  with  763  last 
year. 

The  largest  number  of  acceptances  so 
far  have  been  in  the  two  nursing  depart- 
ments with  230  in  the  associate  degree 
program  as  compared  with  1 75  last 
year;  1 88  in  the  B.  S.  program  as  com- 
pared with  179  last  year.  In  the  theo-

R.  C.  Mills,  present  busin„,  .,.„„„„ 
has  assumed  some  of  Fleming's  duties, 
being  responsible  for  the  overall  budget 
and  finances,  including  the  academic 
departments  and  the  service  auxiliaries. 
The  college  also  recently  appointed 
Dwight  S.  Wallack  to  be  director  of 
development.  SMC  has  been  searching 
for  several  years  for  such  a  person  to 
relieve  Fleming  of  his  part-time  respon- 
sibilities in  this  area. 

Wallack  will  serve  as  liaison  officer  with 
SMC's  Committee  of  100,  be  in  charge  of 
all  fund  raising  activities,  and  be  advisor 
to  the  president  on  developmental  matters, 
according  to  Dr.  Knittel. 

Fleming,  who  holds  a  B.  A.  degree  in 
business  administration  from  Andrews 
University,  Berrign  Springs,  Michigan, 
and  a  masters  in  business  administration 
from  Northwestern  University,  has 
served  the  Seventh-day  Adventist  Church 
in  many  business  capacities  since  1937. 

He  was  business  manager  of  Forest 
Lake  Academy,  Maitland,  Florida,  for 
four  years.  He  served  as  assistant  business 
manager  of  Southern  Junior  College  (  later 
SMC)  for  a  short  time;  then  he  accepted 
an  appointment  as  treasurer  of  the  Georgia- 
Cumberland  Conference  of  Seventh-day 
Adventists,  Atlanta. 

Fleming  has  served  SMC  in  the  area  of 
financial  management  since  1946,  he  also 
served  as  co-owner  and  co-manager  with 
William  J.  Hulsey  of  Collegedale  Cabinets, 
makers  of  school  laboratory  furniture  in 
its  formative  years. 

He  is  active  in  the  Chattanooga  Rotary 
Club,  is  an  elder  in  the  Collegedale 
Seventh-day  Adventist  church,  and  has 
traveled  in  the  Holy  Land.  His  wife  is 
Betty  Jean  Shadel,  and  they  have  two 
daughters. 

Dr.  Knittel  indicated  that  Fleming's 
work  with  the  industries  and  enterprises 
over  the  years  has  strengthened  the  base 
of  the  college's  total  financial  operations, 
supplying  labor  to  students  and  helping 
to  subsidize  educational  costs  to  the 
students. 

"He  must  also  be  given  much  credit  for 
the  physical  growth  of  the  campus-plan- 
ning, financing  and  directing  the  main 
building  era  of  the  1960'sand  1970's.  If 
man  has  been  indispensable  to  SMC's 
development,  it  is  Charles  Fleming,"  Dr. 
Knittel  said. 

Mills  studied  business  administration 
at  Andrews  University,  has  been  accountant 
for  the  Southern  Publishing  Association  in 
Nashville;  auditor  and  cashier  for  the 
Southern  Union  Conference,  Atlanta;  ad- 
ministrator of  the  Highland  Hospital,  Port- 

d,  Tennessee;  and  secretary-treasurer 
of  the  New  York  Conference,  Syracuse, 
New  York. 

Mills'  work  and  experience  overseas 
included  four  years  as  treasurer  of  the 
Korean  Union  Mission,  Seoul;  four  years 
as  treasurer  of  the  North  Philippine  Union 
Mission,  Manila;  two  years  as  auditor  of 
the  Far  Eastern  Division,  Singapore;  and 
four  years  as  treasurer-auditor  of  the 
Middle  East  Division,  Beirut.  He  is  an 
ordained  minister. 

Mills  has  been  college  manager  for 
SMC  for  the  past  four  years. 

Wallack,  who  recently  arrived  on  the 
SMC  campus,  is  a  graduate  in  religion 
and  speech  from  LaSierra  College,  River- 
side, California,  and  has  done  grrduate 
work  at  the  University  of  Soutf  ,n  Cali- 
fornia and  Andrews  University. 

He  is  an  ordained  minister,  and  has

was  as  an  investment  counselor  for  the 
firm  of  Farrar  and  Herrick,  San  Ber-

WSMC-FM  Radio 
Gets  New  Manager; 
Don  Self  Promoted 

Don  Self,  program  manager  at  WSMC- 
FM,  will  be  promoted  to  general  manager 
of  the  station  on  June  I .  He  will  be  re- 
placing James  Hannum  who  will  be  giving 
full-time  to  the  Communication  Depart- 
ment. 

Self  has  held  his  current  post  since  his 
graduation  from  SMC  in  May  1 97 1 ,  when 
he  joined  the  station  as  a  full  time  em- 
ployee, prior  to  that,  his  experience  in- 
cluded the  job  of  production  director  in 
his  junior  year  and  student  manager  in  his 
senior  year. 

Management  responsibility  is  not  new 
to  Self.  As  program  manager  he  has  been 
the  individual  most  responsible  for  the 
day-to-day  running  of  the  station. 
Hannum,  as  director  of  broadcasting,  has 
given  over-all  leadership  however,  his 
divided  schedule-half  teaching  and  half 
radio  station-has  limited  his  involvement. 

Self,  who  recently  turned  down  an 
offer  to  manage  the  radio  station  at 
Andrews  University,  Berrien  Springs, 
Michigan,  confidently  looks  forward  to 
the  "challenge  and  opportunity  that  the 
new  position  presents?  "I  hope','  Self 
adds,  "That  the  service  of  the  station  arid 
the  general  efficiency  can  be  improved. 

Self  was  born  in  Mobile,  Alabama. 
He  has  always  lived  in  the  South,  taking 
his  higli  school  work  at  Greater  Miami 
Academy  and  then  attending  SMC. 

Greg  Rumsey,  a  communication  niajor 
assumed  the  title  of  music  director  of 
WSMC-FM  after  his  graduation  from  here 
on  May  5.  Rumsey  who  currently  hosts 
the  hour-long  Newsbreak  '74  news  pro- 
gram and  Afternoon  Classics,  will  select 
all  of  the  music  programming.  In  add- 
ition he  will  begin  editing  the  monthly 
Program  Guide. 

Jim  Walters,  director  of  development 
and  public  relations  for  WSMC-FM,  wUI 
continue  his  theology  education  in 
California  this  fall,  Walters  came  to  the 
station  last  September  from  a  pastorate 
in  Georgia.  He  has  set  up  a  development 
program  which  should  be  able  to  contin- 
ue bringing  in  approximately  $40,000. 
per  year.  A  person  is  now  being  sougni 
who  can  maintain  and  further  develop 
the  program.

Gty  of  Collegedale 
WiU  Consider 
Budget,  New  Taxes 

The  Collegedale  City  Council  will  start 
the  first  of  three  readings  on  the  city  bud- 
get for  1975  at  its  regular  meeting  on  May 
20,  according  to  Mayor  Fred  Fuller.  Af- 
ter the  three  meetings.the  other  two 
coming  on  June  3  and  June  1  7,  the  bud- 
get will  be  voted.  A  new  tax  structure 
for  city  real  estate  taxes  will  be  consider- 
ed in  order  to  balance  the  budget. 

The  proposed  new  rate  would  add  25(i 
per  $  1 00  to  make  a  $1 .00  ra  te  per  S 1 00 
assessment  evaluation. 

"For  example,"  Mayor  Fuller  said, 
the  average  assessment  figure  in  College- 
dale  is  around  $5,000  percent  of  the 
home's  value.  Therefore,  the  75|irate 
would  mean  a  yearly  tax  of  $37.50.  The 
proposal  at  the  added  25)!  rate  would 
mean  a  yearly  tax  of  $50.00,  an  increase 
of  $12.50. 

The  mayor  pointed  out  that  this  pro- 
posed increase  would  be  the  first  increase 
since  incorporation.  He  also  indicated 
that  the  county  tax  might  go  down  as  a 
result  of  the  recent  new  assessment  pro- 
gram that  has  added  to  the  county's  as- 
sessment program  that  has  added  to  the 
county's  assessment  values  and  revenues.

Oop!  We're  Sorry! 

In  the  April  24,  1974,  issue  of  the 
Southern  Accent,  there  was  a  lengthy  in- 
terview with  author  and  researcher, 
Rene  Noorbergen,  of  Collegedale,  TN. 

The  article  was  transcribed  from  a  tape 
recorded  interview  with  Mr.  Noorbergen 
concerning  his  latest  book,  77ie  Ark  File, 
which  will  be  published  May  1  5. 

The  Southern  Accent  wants  to  apolo- 
gize to  Mr.  Noorbergen  for  giving  incor- 
rect impressions  to  its  readers  by  quoting 
him  out  of  context  and  by  excerpting  de- 
tails and  allusions  without  quoting  him 
completely. 

Some  of  the  tape  was  unintelligible  and 
fragmentary;  therefore,  the  transcriber 
had  a  difficult  time  and  was  unable  to 
traascribe  ail  of  Mr.  Noorbergen's  re- 
marks verbatim. 

Many  of  Mr.  Noorbergen's  statements 
were  "off  the  record"-  unavailable  for 
publication  -  but  the  transcriber  could 
not  catch  all  of  these  exceptions?  there- 
fore, some  items  ascribed  to  him  were  act. 
uaJly  not  available  for  communication. 
The  Southern  Accent  reaUzes  that  it 
should  have  published  a  statement  in  con- 
nection with  the  itnerview  that  this  was 
only  a  partial  statement  of  his  remarks. 
The  Southern  Accent  also  wants  to 
apologize  to  those  institutions  and  indiv- 
idiiaJs  that  were  under  discussion  in  the 
interview  since  the  above  errors  may  have 
given  an  incorrect  impression  of  them. 
Again,  our  apologies  to  Mr.  Noorbergen 
and  our  readers.

Plan  Cross-Country 
Jog  for  Heart  Fund 


This  summmer,  Heinz  Wiegand  of 
CoUegedale,  Tenn.,  and  Philip  Castlebei 
of  Fredericlc,  Md.,  both  in  theii  middle 
twenties,  will  jog  through  13  Northern 
US  states  on  their  cross  country  jog 
benefit  for  the  American  Heart 
Association. 

Co-sponsors  of  the  program  are  the 
American  Automobile  Association,  the 
President's  Council  of  Physical  Fit- 
ness and  the  American  Temper- 
ance Society. 

The  3,000  mile  trip  will  begin  on 
June  2  in  Seattle,  Wash.,  and  end  at 
Rehoboth  Beach,  Del.,  on  August  18 
with  the  team  stopping  at  some  135 
towns  and  cities  along  the  12  week 
route  to  conduct  clinics,  seminars  an 
fund  raising  activities. 

The  jogging  team  has  been  prepaiinj 
several  years  because  they  feel  a  desper 
ate  need  to  make  the  public  aware  oftl 
1  million  deaths  that  occur  each  year  ii 
1  out  of  every  10  persons  under  theagi 
of  35  and  in  1  out  of  every  3  persons 
over  the  age  of  35,  from  cardiovascular 
diseases.  There  have  been  several  per- 
sons to  make  the  3,000  mile  jog  cross 
country,  but  never  on  a  program  basis 
to  help  detect,  prevent  and/or  educate 
the  population  in  regards  to  heart 

Phil  and  Heinz  have  set  a  goal  of 
$300,000  to  be  raised  for  the  Americi
